I love metal detecting. I just found an 1891 Indian Head Penny in my backyard. I've also found a 1812 Classic Head large cent and a Braided Hair large cent on my yard along with artifacts from the 17, 17 and early 1900's. I hope you find lots of awesome history Robert!

[@andrewbennett1510]

i cant get enough of this chap, at the moment. stunningly handsome, articulate and profoundly interesting. the US should be proud of him.

Coin 1953 “New”? Robert, you made me feel “New” as I am a 1954 model!!!

Hi Robert surprising what you can find on the old Byrd farm 🚜 that button looks like a turtle patten glass it's old been glass type have a good day Robert all the best Andrew south wales uk 👍 👌 😀 🇬🇧

Love your magically appearing shovel!!!!

[@CountryLifeEngland]

I love the old artefacts you’re finding. Thank you for sharing them with us. It’s real people history. 🤗🇬🇧🌹

[@MysticChatty]

Thank you Robert that was super fun. Please again & again! Let’s do this again!

[@LitlPoot]

another wonderful, exciting adventure. just a suggestion (I saw this on Rehab Addict (Nicole Curtis) ) - get an old crock pot and let those artifacts "cook" (on low) overnight to remove a great deal of dirt and grime and whatever - she did it with old hardware to remove paint & such ... just a suggestion !!! thanks for sharing it all with us - never a dull moment on the Old Byrd Farm 🙂

[@angelavorhees5946]

Of course we want you to come back to that spot, lol. There may be a jar full of coins. Woohoo. I was amazed at all the bird sounds in the background. Wow it was like you were in the Amazon rainforest. Really cool.

[@brendahogue5487]

[@karenshepler7128]

Hello, and it's so neat to find things in your own yard ! Thanks for sharing with us.

[@AdventuresIntoHistory]

For sure. Lots of history buried on this old farm

[@amishatheart47]

Love your collection. If that is a zince with glass inside the lid for Ball, then it could date from about the 1930s. It was then that Ball introduced the 2 piece zinc & glass lid that used a rubber sealing ring for canning. This was replaced by 1964 with the lids we use today. I remember my mom and grandmas canning using the zinc & glass tops with the red rubber seal as a child. I'm only 56 go that was a few years ago. My Grandmas and mom were afraid of the "new" lids. In fact I still have a couple of the zinc lids and the blue/green jars they were used on in my pantry. I use them to store my herbs in.

[@reconnsupernaturalsyndicat1493]

Mason jar lids made of zinc were manufactured in 1885

[@anncrow3340]

My one grandma was using them in the 1950s-60s, so they made them for years. Js

[@sallyintucson]

I have a few that are zinc and glass combos.

Hi Robert, awesome job on detecting. Cool finds. Never know what you may find. Thank you. Joyce ❤️🙏🇺🇸

[@shellydehart8217]

Gosh, I know that’s got to be so much fun. I think you found some neat things. The back of the pocket watch was the winner for the day n winners up is the spoon. Get some Brassco n clean it up. I think you could use it on the spoon too. I have lots of old Mason jars but never that lucky to the kind with the Zinc tops. You did alright kiddo. Get that pin pointer back soon. Love to have another day like today. There’s still hope for the Indian head penny. ♥️♥️😊👍👍🌟🌟🌟

[@andreamills5852]

The zinc lids from the old jars are almost always disintegrated if exposed to the elements.

[@dianejerrell1579]

I have been metal detevting at my house. My house was built in 1850. The neighbors house was built in 1825. I havent found anything but junk. Jack stands, trailor hitch ball, pieces of metal fence posts and beer cans. I will keep looking for the jackpot.

[@tksass9091]

ABSOLUTELY! My Dad bought me a metal detector a couple years ago for my birthday & I have had n out a couple times but I have no idea what I'm doing. I wished I knew someone that could show me how to use the thing correctly. Lol😊

[@MARY-nx1gu]

@tksass9091, I'm sure there's a utube video that would give you some valuable lessons on the use if your detector 😊

[@brendabrown5341]

Love the treasures! My papaw hid a jar of coins and gave hints where but he never did tell anyone where. He died In 1963. I remember crawling under the house looking. It was never found. Dad sold the homeplace many years ago. 😢

[@scottnyc6572]

The button could be made of bakelite.If you soak the watch cover in apple cider vinegar it should reveal a makers mark.

[@scottsimpson2265]

Love all ur videos bro… a true caretaker of history! Blessings up from philly ☮️🇺🇸👍

[@gwenb4531]

I believe the pattern of the spoon is called the Paul Revere pattern.

[@CharityS-Minnesota]

The spoon and the jar lid were super cool finds for me! It brings back the every day human experience

[@deestrawser2423]

Not to rain on the coin parade, but farmers would also store their garden seeds in jars and take drinking water to the fields in jars. Both are very possible in this scenario. I remember from my childhood, my grandmother always showed up with a couple of jars of seeds with her when we headed out to plant the garden.

[@ellenlascola6858]

Love the sound of all the birds❤

[@andreamills5852]

When the banks folded up during the depression a lot of people would hide their money in old mason jars bury them out in the yard or in the crawl space or place them under a fence post. My friends dad found a jar of mercury dimes under an old fence post .

[@AdventuresIntoHistory]

Wow

I found a large jar of coins that had been hit by a backhoe. I spent a few weeks cleaning out all the change.

Finding lost Confederate gold is the dream. An old horseshoe is probably the reality! 😊

[@cumberlandquiltchic1]

That’s a fiddlehead spoon. I have some silver ones like that, it could be silver. Especially if it’s soft like that. Coin silver.

[@zegotashalom3881]

Our home is over 150 years I have found so much cool stuff, an old Air Force W.W. II silver ring. Part of a metal toy gun, dishes, square nails and the list goes on, guess I should go look for some money. God Bless. 1776

[@MillerMeteor74]

Cool stuff. I've never metal detected. But the coolest thing I ever found was a surface find in my parents dirt driveway, right where it meets the paved road. It was a 1911 dime. When I cleaned it up and looked at it under a magnifying glass I could see that it was new when dropped. All the sharp details were there under all the scratches.

[@mver191]

Next time you should bring one of these small garden/archeology hand shovels. :)

[@juliegerber6068]

Yes please. Do more metal detecting.

[@michaelely2267]

Keep on looking. And good luck.

[@frankscarborough1428]

With all the bits of glass- why not use a hand shovel? Or wear garden gloves? Just asking

The button is made from bakelite, a synthetic plastic first introduced in 1904. Looks like glass, but it’s not. Can be valuable. $$
