Jersey Devil Encounter & 1700’s Silver found! - Metal Detecting a Colonial Farm

We got access to metal detect an old 1700's farm of about 150 acres. The land owner brought us on his four-wheeler right out to where an old farmhouse and general store once stood on his property 200+ years ago. This old farmhouse was burned down around 1900 and the land hasn't been used much sense. We detected for about 8 hours and pulled plenty of colonial and 1800's relics as well as an incredible pre-American silver coin! Later in the day while detecting the woods-line we discover who's been guarding these treasures for the last 2 centuries, the legendary Jersey Devil himself!

Jason is there a button website that you could look them up? You know like the token website?

[@QuarterHoarder]

If there is a good button website I don’t know of it. I’ll pin your comment and maybe someone knows one?

[@silverpatriot568]

Christopher Haynie I know if you have a Barnes and noble near you they have books about buttons

[@LongIslandsHardcoreDetectorist]

I use this web site to look up buttons, not sure if any help. americancivilwarrelics.com/Civil%20War%20Buttons%20Pre%20Civil%20War.htm

[@lisak901]

I think all of us who detect and use pinpointers have a love, hate relationship with them! We love them when they help us find our targets, then tell them to shut up when they do!! LOL

[@hotairhenry2959]

Some of those buttons were incredible! Congratulations to Doug on that epic Spanish Silver! HooWee!!!!!

[@RelicRangers]

Next time I go digging, I'm wearing turkey feathers! Congratulations to Doug on his Carlos coinage! Great video Jason!

[@QuarterHoarder]

They are a staple for any digging wardrobe. lol

[@smokinlouie9885]

This is the best detecting channel. The history and fun finds. They all have fun doing the detecting.

[@WildDigger]

Great hunt and awesome Reale for Doug. The Eagle button is a Civil War era general service button. GL&HH Matt

[@kelly623]

I think it was Rocky The Squirrel! :) It almost seems like a dang button factory was there! Loved the dig. Thanks guys!

[@LongIslandsHardcoreDetectorist]

You guys are the full package when it comes to watching metal detectorists at there best. Your videos make my train ride home from work a lot more enjoyable. So thanks lol and keep them great finds coming

[@QuarterHoarder]

Thanks Joey! We try to find the good stuff and have a good time while we’re looking. The hobby should be fun after all. If not it’s just a whole lot of work! 😀

[@jerrydineen2827]

Jason, you and Doug had that hunt all buttoned up. Congrats to Doug on his real, sweet coin!

[@PlugMasterFord]

If you're button display wasn't full before it's gonna be getting close now! Congrats to Doug once again! And awesome Eagle button for you Jason

[@QuarterHoarder]

For my button display I'm going to sew all of them on the same ugly Christmas sweater. Gonna win that company Christmas party this year for sure!

[@popcandan8001]

Doug looked like the human Mercury Dime with those wings...LOL. Always a legendary outing my friend. Great video, glad Satan didn't get ya, or the Jersey Devil

Hello Jason nice finds buttons are always nice to find.. that Jersey Devil is cool ! it reminds me of my ex brother in law, he pinched Ronald McDonald from a McDonald's play ground here in Melbourne LOL ... maybe the farmer did the same thing LOL HH jim.

[@ChristopherHayniedd980]

That little button says owed by billy the squirrel 🐿. 🤣🤣🤣

[@Tellgio]

Some nice finds there. Dougs half real looks awesome. Amazing when you think that the British only 'found' my country in 1770, and this coin was minted two years after that. Cheers

[@QuarterHoarder]

Thanks Trevor, nothing better that digging coins that are hundreds of years old. Just amazing to think of the person that last handled it!

[@wonderwom14]

You guys are too funny! I really enjoy watching both of you!

[@flthunderdigginwrob3162]

Jason, another great video, lots and lots of buttons this week. This was a very fun and funny video. Please pass on to Doug the BIG CONGRATS on the 1772 silver coin. Good job guys!!! Enjoyed. Rob Diggin' Florida

[@oceanstatepickers3057]

Wow Jason great button day looks like you got a few tombac and a few lead/pewter buttons some from colonial era

[@MetalDetectingNWGA]

Great finds Jason! Lots of cool buttons and congrats to Doug on that 1700s silver!

Oh man, I was almost more excited for Doug then he was! Almost... lol

[@QuarterHoarder]

The PRR button was one of my favorite all year, but any old buttons are a welcomed site! It would be nice to mix a few other doodads into the mix but I'm not complaining.

[@gold-denprospecting8066]

Hi QH, Thanks for a great video. I wished that we had the aged stuff that you can find, my oldest 1797 Cartwheel penny, that's just after Captain Cook found Australia in1770. Dennis

So wait, he's Mexican Doug, Dog Tag Doug, Dougs Bunny, Dig Dug, and now Crocodile DougDee! Holy Moly I can't keep up! lol. Great hunt you two! I really loved The Crocodile's Spanish silver!

[@QuarterHoarder]

There's a few you left out but you pretty much got most of them. lol

[@DAiken-jz1iu]

Excellent hunt and loved the finding of the Jersey Devil.

[@mrnavy2]

Jason, you should now be called the ButtonHorder. LOL. A great fine by Doug.

Button Glutton is what Leroy once said! lol

[@onwardsandupwardsrockhounding]

Funny as hell.....Dougs bunny wearing those feathers, you know he forgot he had them on. Great video again!! Jason you do a great non scripted job on your videos. You may wan't to skip eating on camera though !!

Button extravaganza. Very Good hunt . It just tells you that back in the day the were losing there shirts no there pants due to the shortage of money Found.. LOL Thanks Jason Happy Holidays AL

[@scottcarson4570]

I love watching a group of equally blind old guys trying to "identify" images 😂. Love your stuff! (From a newbie detector)

[@KenBlackRifleAmerica]

An awesome hunt Jason, some great buttons, I'm sure some were colonial. Congrats to Doug Bunny for the awesome Silver Reale....what a great find! Catch ya on the next guys! PS: Great bag as well....looks like it has a spot for all the tools you need out there.

[@jaybales3160]

All relics congratulations. I enjoyed watching the variety of buttons dug. Congratulations to Doug on a bucket list discovery. Excellent video brother diggers.

[@QuarterHoarder]

Thanks Jay!

[@nepahistoryandarchaeologys8623]

Incredible hunt Jason, congratulations to Doug on that Spanish silver! I'm like you, I'd love to dig all those buttons, they're fun to research. Great stuff, GL and HH!

pretty cool Jason. Great job Doug, im happy you got that awesome coin!

Thanks Brian! Doug was elated with that sucker!

Mercury Doug!!! LOL. Great video 👍

[@bubblesangel555]

Way to go Dougs Bunny, nice silver! Jason when you were in the field still, that fancy little rectangular piece you found, looked like it had a green stone in it, does it? Your "nipple" button looks like it would have come from the cuff, or collar of a fancy, special occasion dress. Considering the clothes in those days, were mostly hand made by experienced seamstresses (the wives) a LOT of buttons were lost! Please tell me you're going back to button, buckle, and half royale' field...

[@QuarterHoarder]

Thanks! We are going back, probably several times. I love farms in the winter time and this one made a great first impression!

[@yomangull2538]

Congratulations Doug on finding your first reale! There was plenty of buttons to go around that day and quite a variety. The puffy button was a blow hole and the dark shiny ones are tombacs.

[@QuarterHoarder]

I thought the puffy one might have been a blow hole, I just didn't see the holes. Back for more we go though, hoping to keep the button pace up!

[@MUDSWAT]

Doug's Bunny!!?? HAHAHAHA!!! Great find Doug's Bunny congratulations!! 14 years I've never found one of those. That P.R.R (Pennsylvania Rail Road) coat button is what you want to find. Well desired style of button. Keep @ it and HH !!

[@QuarterHoarder]

Thanks Mud. Doug has been on fire lately with the rare coins. He was due though!

[@jillianfortuna2348]

Those feathers are awesome on doug. I would have worn them the same way too. Great character.

Take that Jurcy Devil 👿 Home Jason.. I t would look fantastic in your front yard on Halloween 🎃 night..LOL.. Merry Christmas 🎄 Cheers Tony.👍🤓🍺⛏

[@QuarterHoarder]

I asked the homeowner why he doesn’t stand that devil up and display it. He told me too many people were pulling over to climb on it and take pictures. If he ever decides to sell it I might just make a offer.

[@Famo59]

Quarter Hoarder I definitely would Ask him.. Then you can have it in your front yard and charge a photo fee..!! LOL.

[@metaldetectingwithlugnut]

Congrats to Doug on the silver and the Eagle button looks Civil War era. Fun time!

[@QuarterHoarder]

I think you're right about the Eagle button. I was hoping for early 1800's but I think mid-1800's seems more likely. Still really excited to have it though!

[@metaldetectingwithlugnut]

@@QuarterHoarder As you should be. I've never found a Yankee button. Someday. HH

I've always liked finding old buttons. I get one from time to time but you dug more this hunt that I do all year. That's an amazing day of hunting QH.

[@QuarterHoarder]

Thanks Raven. This was the most buttons I’ve ever gotten in one day. In fact, it’s kinda all I got, but they are still really cool to find.

[@KubotaManDan]

Love old farms & your detecting videos are the best. Have a great holiday.

[@mwa1114]

Doug's dueling feathers busted me up all the way thru. I dont know if he's the last of the Doug-hicans, or a Doug-achu, or a Dougsbunny, but it was awsome. Good hunt!

Doug-achu! That's what I was going for! haha

[@bubbagump2792]

That was a great video Jason. I always wondered why people detect on farm fields but now I know!

[@QuarterHoarder]

Farms are great spots because there not much modern trash and the earth gets turned over every decade or so. Soft digging and old targets might just be close to the surface.

[@TreasureHuntingSWPA412]

Awesome bunch of finds! I love those buttons you found. The eagle and the PRR are great. And of course Dougs bunny's real!

Those buttons are awesome. So many different types and designs. I could dig them all day long! Well, I guess I kinda did... lol
