Since I didn't say it in the intro this time. I HOPE YOU ARE HAVING AN ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC DAY! EDIT: Apparently the first find is a vintage banjo pick! How cool is that?

[@sheilalart5837]

Now you have to find a banjo and play it on your stream!

[@sheilalart5837]

I also like the vintage spoon and the Vintage slotted spoon, cool!

That piece of bottle at 11:10 looks like an ordinary 50 year old Coca Cola bottle.

[@TheHousedigs]

Lol yeah those heel plates are fun. We have found only 2. Great history behind them. 👍👍

[@kevinweis1964]

JD, congrats on the heel plate! Diffinitely a bucket lister. No place is ever totally hunted out.

[@jamesgordon4433]

The first treasure looks like a guitar finger pick. Enjoying your clips. Thank you 🌻

[@lynnschmidt8421]

Look forward to your video's, explaining everything is a great part of what I love about your KZbin channel. Great finds and 👍

[@Bill-kl4gr]

glad to see a new video,,keep and keeping on..

[@JMZVIDEOZ]

The bottle bottom you found from Wichita Falls TX, is s a Coke bottle that was bottled there and appears to be a 1980s.

[@flytechbass1979]

80's? more like 50, 60's

[@JMZVIDEOZ]

@@flytechbass1979 This is very possible since the plant was built in the 30s.

Many sites have been hit since I started back in the seventies. Really enjoyed watching JD , beautiful places and awesome finds 👍👌

[@The_Malign]

Hello JD I've been watching you for the last few years and I love all of your content...I just picked up 2 metal detectors for me and my wife when it finally warms up...got a lot of houses from the 20's-40's where I live....gotta do some door knocking! Keep up the great work!

[@donutman.24]

Great job JD! You got so lucky! Keep it up and have a good day.

[@robertafuge2311]

That little gun is so cute.

[@SmallWonda]

Nice Old Style video, JD - great to find that pretty heel plate - I almost thought the curious shaped item could have been an ox-shoe - maybe they were improvising - but I'm sure someone knows for sure. Happy hunting! ⛏🦘🐾👍

[@janvafa9959]

The item @24:59 looks like a smashed up feed bucket... not usually as deep as a water bucket but a bit wider!

[@ozchicken7791]

Congrats on the heel plate! I found my third heart shape one back in mid-Jan. =D

[@scrubbybear6757]

I always enjoy your videos Jon. Is that T2 you use a Special edition or Classic model? Also I find a lot of those slate roofing tacks but I think they are copper and not brass. I’ve been sorting my detecting finds into copper, brass, and aluminum bins to either melt down someday or turn into the salvage yard and when I use a file to check the metal the tacks seem to be copper and most spoons I find are brass inside. I heard you say copper spoon but think it’s brass. Not that important but I know you like to describe things as accurately as possible. Good luck and keep swingin’! PS. I’m also a JD and a Jon!

[@lindawolffkashmir2768]

Your lead piece may be a plumb bob.

[@shedigs]

Hi JD, my first thought about the weird copper thing. Can it be runes or is it only scratches? The vikings found your country, just a thought

[@JDsVarietyChannel]

Hey. Cool thought, but the copper piece definitely isn't that old. I'd love to find something from the vikings. Haha

[@shedigs]

[@farmgirlrebel1333]

I'm just getting into metal detecting after finding some unique pieces by accident on my 1870 farm...I also own an additional old farmstead that dates back to 1840 that I'll have fun hunting, I have high hopes for that property as the standing on the property is an old victorian built in 1880 by a wealthier family. Can't wait for the spring melt.

[@adventuresinmichiganwlisa9852]

Congrats jd. Perfect Valentine's find!great finds nun the less! Much love from Michigan.. Stay safe

that sprocket you found was an inch pitch chain bicycle sprocket for the rear wheel drive

[@BirdDogg]

Persistence.. Good work brother, that’s a beautiful piece. I’ve never found a heart version. Really one of those key finds everybody hopes for and few find. Congrats! The first find is an early Banjo pick.

[@JDsVarietyChannel]

Thanks Chris. A banjo pick? I would have never guessed! After cleaning it up I though it was some sort of clamp. lol.

Another great video JD! Thanks for making history hunting exciting!

[@tnbigdave4563]

Great hunt Jon, heart heel plate from ladies size shoe has been attributed to camp followers during the civil war as a way to find their tent in larger camps. As a side note, the description "hooker" came from the ladies imported from new Orleans to occupied Nashville for the troops companionship by General Hooker.

[@JDsVarietyChannel]

Thanks for the info Dave! I didn't know that last bit.

Great heel plate Jon. I have only ever found one of these, and it was two blocks from my house. I know you are happy to have it in your collection!

[@JDsVarietyChannel]

Thanks John! Did yours have a heart or something else? There's quite a few different kinds. Cool that it was found close to your house.

[@jbolf6]

I was really surprised to find it, let alone 2 blocks away. I just went and checked mine and it too, has a heart

[@JDsVarietyChannel]

That's cool! I didn't want to mention in the video. But there seems to be some credible stories that sometimes the ones with hearts were used by prostitutes, so you could follow the tracks to the local brothel.

[@dianne11ca]

@@JDsVarietyChannel Oh, I love that story! LOL I am very glad that I read the comments.

[@anestheticskate3114]

Awesome relics man! I’ve recently started to metal detect myself, my property being somewhat of a gold mine a old saloon boom town from the mid 1800s was bulldozed right behind my property an I came across your videos so I decided to go out there an right near a old railroad I dug about 4 inches down to a good signal an found a old crushed box of a “national biscuit company” now “Nabisco” from the late 1890s! Keep the videos up man

[@captjeff2321]

I believe the one curled piece is a ox shoe had iron on it. Good job on the heel plate dude said there was a story about prostitutes wearing them so men folk could follow the trail. LOL The guy I watch up in Vermont finds heel plates around 1700 mid 1800 cellar holes. Good job thanks for taking us along.

I grew up in the fifties and early sixties. We had all those cap guns, badges, holsters, buckskin jacks. Agent a clue what happened to them. What a shame. 🇨🇦❤️🇺🇸 🙏🏻🙏🏾☝🏻

[@bailey1000100]

The hexagonal lead stick( broken off piece) could be from the original plumbers at the house. The plumber would melt down sticks of lead to a molten state.They would then use that lead to make the connections on the large drain pipe fittings. Using a small ladle to dip into the vat of hot liquid lead. Oh yea.

[@donaldjohnson9401]

That's awesome still Showing the difference between Detected and undetected Property Great hunting some super interesting finds . There's more old property out and about. Later J.D.'s Treasure Quest

Good video. Cool cap gun, and the heel plate is very nice!

[@rogershipman3578]

I grew up near Wichita Falls, Texas in the 1970's. I believe they had a Coca Cola factory there. Probably a bottle from that factory.

Excellent heel plate. I found a heart plate 2ish years ago. still one of those items i talk about when people ask me about peculiar finds ive found. Love telling the "ladies of the night" story. Nowhere is ever hunted out my friend. I learned that lesson in a big way just about 4 hours ago

Nice cliffhanger. So what did you find? LOL

@@JDsVarietyChannel lol gotcha. I found a 1919 class ring 10k. Sounded exactly like the 1,703 shotgun headstamps ive dug out of there. Just goes to show, you gotta dig it all
