Great finds! Enjoyed!

[@peterwilson1699]

Some very nice and interesting finds and a good history class that I didn't know.

[@TJSvideoproduction]

Awesome video and finds!! Lots of cool unusual things!

[@lfkenney]

Matt - I love the way you research and post about the history of some of the items you find. It makes your videos very interesting and enjoyable to watch. Keep up the good work, and happy hunting!

[@TarheelDiggin]

Thanks for the feedback, Larry - much appreciated! Happy New Year! HH

[@suddenlystupid]

You really worked your behind off on this video, the amount of trash you dug is phenomenal. I really enjoy your videos they are so informational, things I have never heard of or saw in my life and I am 76. Thank you for all your hard work.

[@TarheelDiggin]

Thank you for the kind words - means a lot! Happy New Year!

[@gregkerr725]

Great hunt...loved that LSA badge....learn something new every day!

[@digginhistory-newengland7062]

Nice hunt! you dug a LOT of interesting pieces. I like the woodsman token.

[@Forkemdvls]

Great and interesting finds!

[@RelicDog]

Love that Tribe Captain badge, and great info, I hadn't heard of the LSA - what a beautiful pin, congratulations, a great addition to what I'm sure is an amazing collection. Cash on the ground! WOOOOHOOO!!! Cool shoe token, and funny that they beat that lock like that! You're digging some interesting things - that leaf is beautiful. Man! Hot Spot is right! That Exempt Pin looks like it still has color on it? That's great! What a neat piece of history! Enjoyed the video a lot Matt, best wishes, Chris

[@VAHistoryDetectors]

Nice digs. Enjoyed the video.

[@PotterCountyDiggers]

Very cool. Lots of history saved!

[@FindingAmerica]

Great site Matt. So many cool items coming out of the ground. The exempt pin is very unusual. I imagine a lot of men that were exempt were mistakenly ostracized for not being enlisted during the war. Always love finding items that bring our history to life. ATB Greg

[@TarheelDiggin]

Yes, the Exempt pin was pretty cool. Both of my Grandfathers saw service in WWI, so that era is very meaningful to me. Happy New Year! HH

[@AlsAllMetalDetecting]

Hey Matt you found a nice bunch of interesting relics . That LSA badge is neat. When you pulled that Woodsman of The World Medallion out that surprised me when I saw the faces on it I knew what it was I found one just like it abut 30 years ago. I enjoyed the video Thank you Matt.

[@TarheelDiggin]

Wow - Tommy, that's amazing! I had no clue what I had found, but thanks to the miracle of the internet, I found the answers. Happy New Year!

That is a quite unique assortment of finds. I really like that leaf. GL & HH

[@TarheelDiggin]

Yes, I never know what's going to pop out of the ground next at that spot. I like uncovering those unusual pieces and then researching what was found. HH!

[@TreasureHuntingSWPA412]

Really interesting bunch of finds. I love the Lone Scout badge. I've never heard of them either. That's a killer find. The WWI US Exempt pin is cool too. I didn't know about them and I collect militaria. lol. If they had to beat on that lock to get it open maybe that means the key was lost somewhere around there to.

[@dirthawk2669]

Huge Group of Finds Matt ! Congrats ! Happy New Year to You and the Best is Yet to Come in 2019 !! Thanks , Dirt Hawk Ya'll !!!!

[@TarheelDiggin]

Thanks Dirt Hawk - Happy New Year to you! Best of luck in 2019. HH!

[@JDsVarietyChannel]

Whoa Matt. Some really ornate relics at that site! One of the most interesting hauls I've seen in a while. Really enjoyed the video. And no kidding, you dug a lot of holes. That was a HUGE pile of trash!

[@TarheelDiggin]

Thanks JD - still can't believe I'm not finding more silver at that location. So far, only 2 quarters - no dimes. Anyway, you know me... the relics are what get my blood pumping. Happy New Year! HH

[@ErlefromVa]

Matt you had one heck of a pile of trash my friend, keep clearing... there will be a Barn Burner in there! You had several harmonica reads and looked like a J hook in your pile as well! That silver pin is the jewel of the day! Love the variety of finds from your site, you seem to be a magnet for the off the wall finds! Thanks for sharing and HH

[@TarheelDiggin]

Thanks Erle - and yes, those harmonica reeds continue to find their way into my pouch. Happy New Year, brother! HH

Matt that was one heck of an interesting hunt, some great finds. I never knew of a draft exempt pin or had ever heard of the LSA. Thank you for the history lesson, I learned a lot today. Happy New Year my friend

[@TarheelDiggin]

Thanks John - just found a little corner in that field where this home site once stood. Filled with trash, but as you can see there's lot's of cool finds too. Happy New Year my friend! HH

I don't have to tell you Matt, there are still many good finds there waiting for you

[@Jps3bs]

Great assortment of finds Matt 🤗 Love the LSA Tribe Captain Badge, Woodmen of the World Token and the lock face. That key fob in the shape of a heel is way cool. Congrats on the sterling pin and the WWI Exempt Pin. Best of Luck to you and Happy Hunting my Friend 😁

I'm hanging in there my Friend. Now that I'm on Medicare as well as my Federal Healthcare plan I'm going to look into more treatments that may help. Once in a while I manage to get out. Thanks for asking 😀

[@Endless_search_]

Hey Matt do you still use vasaline on your buttons? I have a nice state seal NC I found the other day and I’m trying to decide how I should clean it up

[@TarheelDiggin]

For me, the key is no water. I like to retain the original patina whenever possible. It seems as soon as water is introduced, the patina can change. I do most of the cleaning with toothpicks, then follow up with a brass brush if needed. Vaseline or any organic oil is a nice way to finish for presentation. HH!

[@Endless_search_]

Tarheel Diggin' ok nice I think I’m going to get all the dirt off I can with a toothpick then put some Renaissance wax on it

[@TarheelDiggin]

@@Endless_search_ Great choice!
