Thx buddy.

Great video. I got stuck in traffic and finished it. Great editing and loved the black and white to color transition. You got a few CW relics. Love the history. I learned a new word to- bivouac. God bless and happy hunting.

[@TheHistoryDigger1]

Thanks Michael. I’m so envious of the incredible, history-rich areas you’re able to detect. Looking forward to watching your Wisconsin playlist!

Brings back memories of one of my favorite family vacations. We rented a RV visited these same battle grounds. Really enjoyed your commentary. Very interesting and entertaining.

[@TheHistoryDigger1]

I believe I saw you guys in oconomowoc a couple days ago! Awesome finds!

[@Metal-Detecting-Texas]

Interesting vid Rob.

[@TheHistoryDigger1]

Thx very much for watching and commenting!

[@jkiser77]

The item with the "floral design" at 8:23 is part of a belt buckle.

[@TheHistoryDigger1]

Oh super. Thanks!

[@Portageediggah]

Families sometimes followed after the soldiers. This may have been left by family members.

[@TheHistoryDigger1]

That’s a great insight. Much appreciated!

[@mrshistorydigger1000]

Good point

[@airborne488]

First time watching you guys, good video. I think the piece you think may be a trigger mechanism looks like a common piece of "tack" during that time. As part of a leather buckle that laid flat. It's cool to be able to identify specific items like j hooks due to their unique design. Much of those rings could be tack from that era. Thanks

[@TheHistoryDigger1]

Thanks for the info

[@shanehulburt5661]

Awesome trip congrats on the relics. Have you used your manticore much, I just got one but haven't had much time to play around with it yet. Just curious how you like yours in comparison to the deus 2

[@TheHistoryDigger1]

I haven’t used it that much yet. I hesitate to take a new machine with me on a great permission or a paid hunt. I have found the target trace ID to be very helpful but I still prefer the Deus ll’s audio and ergonomics to be superior.

[@shanehulburt5661]

@TheHistoryDigger1 i was leaning more towards buying the deus 2 but when minelab had the anniversary sale at 500 bucks off i jumped on it. Will most likely still get the deus at somepoint

[@TheHistoryDigger1]

@@shanehulburt5661 I may pick up the new M9 coil though. My buddy says it takes awhile to master but that the Manticore definitely has some pluses over the Deus ll, one of which is that it hits some deeper targets.

[@shanehulburt5661]

@TheHistoryDigger1 I'm definitely going to get the M9 coil, would definitely be nice in trashy areas for sure and thick areas in the woods

[@jaydigshistory36]

How did you get permission to detect a national park? That's Awesome!

[@TheHistoryDigger1]

Oh I wish. We only visited the national park. The detecting was done on private property about 5 miles away.

[@jaydigshistory36]

@@TheHistoryDigger1 Ohhh I was going to say, clout! Awesome finds!
