[@rc-yi8ry]

Good morning from Shreveport Louisiana

[@eddieh9248]

You guys should try doing some magnet fishing in that river

[@jeanponce2017]

Towards the end of the natives residing there they had started trading for lead and copper and cutting snips. The natives were making copper bird points and other tools so to see the cut pieces within native flakes isn't as strange as it might seem. They also valued lead because they would carve lead into effigy pieces when they had to hury someone a2ay from their inland settlements. The natives only camped the summer on the bays and brackish rivers to harvest the shellfish. They smoked it all summer, dried it in salt from evaporated salt water then brought it back to their permanent villages where they lived throught the winter. Oyster mounds were usually near by but a lot of the high banks eroded down into the water. The rivers edge today isnt where it was in the 17th and 18th century. A lot of the rivers edge then is more towards the middle of the river if not buried from the opposite side. Those waterway werent as wide and a lot deeper and erosion washed the banks in and created these shallow waterways. Thats why theres such big sharks teeth in waist high creeks. Some stuff gets buried very deep then storms can move the water so quick it can churn it back up. Every spring is like a roll of the dice winter either buried something good or expose something new. Its usually a little of both. In hunted out sites you always usually win on that roll of the dice because something usually moves in or gets eroded down from the banks. Creek hunting is the best and you guys are in a very early historical area older then what we think of America having European settlements starting. One question? Why not use hip waders or wear a thin wet suit? Your not quite as flexibe but you still move better where you're not cold as all h*ll shivering.

[@thehooverboys]

Appreciate the info! I should have a wet suit, but don't

[@teleiosdawyz4044]

Nice! I do luv it when you post early. 👍 The water hunts are sooo cool. That A button is a beaut for being in the water for 160 or so years. Nice find. Must be why you hunt.

[@johnjacobs1625]

Great dig guys! Rock on!! JJ

[@MT-zd2qj]

That cuff button looks brand new! Great find!

[@detectingsmiths9350]

Super cool stuff there! That eagle A is beautiful! Congratulations!

[@Flyingpies1]

Those green chunks could be slag glass

[@granddad-mv5ef]

Excellent start to the season! Just think, in a few weeks the water will feel really good.

[@LongIslandsHardcoreDetectorist]

New Hoover Boys video! Yayyyy just in time for my bath 🛀 lol

[@Greengrass1972]

[@relicrat]

Congratulations on the Eagle A button. Beautiful!!! Love me some arrow rocks. Fun video. Thanks for sharing.

[@kevinstrickland4881]

Love the water hunts!!

[@dogtagdoug6751]

It sounds like you’re hunting the waters of French Guiana, with all those awesome bird calls.

[@californigirl]

That one sounded like a sharp shinned hawk

[@joemiller8965]

Awesome relics and artifacts! That button is in amazing condition! Good luck next time!

[@fmdof]

can't believe it's already water season

[@SoCo_Surfcasting]

Those Osprey sound pissed! =)

[@Fred-tr8zg]

Nicely done guys, really enjoyed the video nice finds. 🇺🇸

[@dwightpickens2895]

Nice Water Hunt. Love the Arrow Heads and the Civil War Artillery Button. Congrats on the IHPs and Half Reale. Take Care

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Amazing guys! Love the different things you find compared with us here in Scotland. Some amazing items 🤩

[@chriscourson2824]

i love your water hunts!

[@jodyherr3249]

Surprised to see you in the water already! Listening to the Osprey fussing in the background!

[@jimmymalone3494]

I enjoyed your video.

[@raydunhill5160]

Great first hunt guys! Some nice little treasures! Congrats to you both! 👍👍👍

[@catherinemillard4442]

Pyou guy are awsome from England

[@jillianfortuna2348]

👍👍 woohoo

[@tonymaxedon]

Carlos 4th Spanish SWEET!

[@dutch-detector]

Nice video again Kurt. I see you are using the new Garrett finds pouch, I use it as well. Don’t you think they put the pinpointer holder on the wrong side (for right handed people)? I do.

[@thehooverboys]

Haha! Never thought about it but yes

[@deansherry4155]

I sure hope that was a hammered copper 8 like you said it might be! And nice military button as well!

[@4evercanb33]

The little copper triangle could potentially be akin to a kettle point. Looks like a copper cut bird point with a bent tip.

[@thehooverboys]

Good call

[@joanneachildoftheking4199]

I love it all but anything last touched by a Native American is just incredible!

[@jeanponce2017]

Yep that was what I was thinking. There's more metal points out there than people originally knew about. Colonial settlers saw how much the natives treasured metal objects and they could literally get boat loads of oysters, clams and fish (baskets included) with other weaved ware for pennies. One copper could be cut and polished into several razor sharp bird points or "kettle points" It was the very early start of their trading with the natives. Unfortunately the colonists took so much advantage of the natives that a colonist could turn a copper half cent into more product then what the colonists could buy with a silver or gold coin from other settlers. Around me we can find early forged hooks, crude lead casted fishnet weights, lead grave markers and tools like hide scrapers. After time the natives wised up and started trading for scraps of lead and sheet metal like copper and a pair of cutting shears but by that point the Europeans had already begun their long slow relocation plan where they promised the natives a plot of their own land and help with farming tools but the land was barron sand and pretty much useless for farming most traditional food crops. The state I live and detect in passed a law prohibiting the harvest of shellfish in the summer months in the mid 1,700's which basically cut off the natives from working the bays and waterways because they didn't have the boats needed to harvest through the cold months. The metal points that were a game changer for the natives didn't last long because they came near the beginning of their end. Those peaceful Europeans giving the natives these great deals are the ancestors of today's used cars dealers and last centuries snake oil sales men. The ones who were peaceful weren't the Europeans it was the natives who peacefully accepted their new neighbors to migrate here. And how does the old saying go? "Well Pocahontas there goes the neighborhood" SMH

[@markkus1134]

Waters where it’s at that’s where the pine tree shillings are😅

[@granvillewooster7673]

Great hunt guys thank you so very much for sharing hope you all have a wonderful holiday weekend ❤️👍👍

[@dahlonegaprospector7012]

Got some loud ospreys out there

[@jeffkistler6600]

Nice you had to be cold 🥶 lol

[@JoeInMemphis]

The osprey sounds P.O’d 😮

[@thehooverboys]

Yes

[@SandmanCnC75]

Not a bad day.

[@michaelolsen2348]

That hammered looking coin gotta be Greek cuz of its thickness. That's awesome. This was an awesome first water hunt. And I found a triangle just like that once and freaked out.....thinking it was a cut coin. Turns out.......it was magnetic 😢 lol

[@mikiehenson1968]

What type of handle do you use for your sand scoop

[@thehooverboys]

1 1/4" pvc

[@jamiecrider2513]

Where has Billy been? Haven't seen him in a while now. Love watching you guys!

[@Supercheeseburger666]

That Artillery Button looked like it was dropped yesterday. What a find! Not really into the arrowheads, but I'm glad you had fun finding them. Thanks for sharing your adventure. 😀

[@michaelmartin6747]

The thicker the arrowhead is the older it is, that's what I witnessed throughout my life arrowheads hunting in southeast Oklahoma

[@show-metreasure3438]

Man o man, some killer finds, metallic and non metallic!!

[@TheLandPirates1]

Kurt what kind of finds box did u have on you ? Also My daughter bought me one of your hoodies and foo foo last Christmas, enjoying them 🏋🏻‍♂️

[@Ufopirate17Q]

Thoughts on using the smaller sniper coil in the water? Lots less resistance?

[@thehooverboys]

Definitely helps at some sites

[@yuwish6320]

That "hammered copper", if you look at it just right, I thought I saw the vague outline of that same castle on it.

[@farengarsecret-fire9597]

Kurt loved the video. Great work and pretty nice finds. May I ask If there's any way to have the camera closer to your shake floater? Just to be able to see stuff from the scoop and the rocks too especially

[@AncientAdventures]

That site just keeps on giving! Definitely looks like a maravedis..I wonder if u soaked it in peroxide if something would show up (since u can't see anything now ) That cut piece could be a cut Maravedis as well! I just did a video of a cut and Holed Cob I found. Ya Never know! Great Vidayoo Again! ❤😊

[@clamsoup]

I think your cut copper is a kettle point - Brad @ Green Mountain has found a bunch of them.

[@jeffmcgrath2202]

Could all these metal shards be artillery shrapnel ?

[@Christine_J]

Gettin’ wet! Woohoo!

[@Ufopirate17Q]

Sorry for all the Qs.... How did you seal up the bottom of the PVC at the bottom of the scoop?

[@thehooverboys]

I don't seal the bottom. Just the top

[@curtandquincey7745]

Kurt, love the show. Where do you guys hail from?

[@bobo1010able]

If you had to guess, how old do you think the arrowheads are roughly?

[@thehooverboys]

I'm not the best at aging them.

[@virginiahardy9213]

That loud birpd in the middle of the video sounds like an osprey.

[@leahwafford2121]

For the green arrowheads and how shiny they are they have the appearance of emerald??

[@davidhullinger3636]

Could all those little bits and pieces be canon loads. Pirates and others used to load their canons with whatever they had, did way more damage to people and didn’t destroy ships or long boats or whatever.

[@davidrussell3392]

Man if he could run a gold dredge there you'd be happy

[@weedfreer]

The metal dinosaur claw looks like the tip of the sort of needle used to stitch people up…civil war or barber shop remnants possibly?

[@James-lj7rm]

0:50 your first target found a tire!!

[@patriot6350]

Cold water = massive shrinkage 😂 gonna have to sit to pee for a week

[@143DREWID]

Flirting hypothermia, go man go ! I'd be in neoprene for sure as I used dive commercially. At least some waders bra. Reduce risk of injury as you be getting old-er-er. Muck gets No Neoprene, keeps him at slower speed.

[@Ufopirate17Q]

Is that a 2" PVC pipe? What are you using for your scoop @curt,curked, Kurt!?

[@atuuschaaw]

♥

[@TheBIGLebowski-jhp9]

That large copper with marks on it looks like it might have been someone's failed attempt at cutting the coin for change

[@chriscourson2824]

are you guys in Maryland?

[@LacyWillcox128]

Whoa! That’s amazing 😍Wait… Newbie here, so the answer to my question might be obvious to many, but how in the world did that Eagle A civil war button hold up so well under water?! I’ve seen you guys dig them out of the ground and they are often pretty corroded or patinated (patina’d ? Lol) And it seems that almost everything pulled out of the water on magnet fishing videos is so heavily corroded and gunked up, you can’t tell what it used to be… Regardless, very cool find 😄

[@marketsquareus]

probably fell off when a soldier was washing his uniform

[@stevemiller3082]

Love the boys. I couldn’t wait for the water. It’s virgin grounds essentially- every time it floods. Another another Miravedis? Get outta here Kurt! I mean damn good find but my wheatie collection just keeps depreciating more and more dadgummit! Seriously- I’m holding you and Mr. Muckey Boots personally accountable for completely ruining the hobby for the rest of us. It used to be that Brad guy constantly destroying my hopes dreams and aspirations. I got him outta the picture and now this! Where’s Smiley and Billy? That 44 guy is missed for sure- every week Anybody want to buy a slightly used Deus2? Mines no longer needed!!! Stooopid Marivedis coin hoggin Hoover boys! I’m telling mom! I lived in Paducah, Ky in the early seventies. I lived on a little creek. I found so many arrowheads that I stopped picking them up. I swear I’m not exaggerating. I’m so disappointed that I stopped hunting then.

[@brianpoor763]

sounds like an Osprey is not happy that your in his fishing spot

[@Ufopirate17Q]

Cold but worth it right? I'm going soon... First time ever...

[@davidhullinger3636]

Where’s Billy and how’s he been? Oh what’s up with Bobby?

[@gailoursler2750]

Hey what about waders

[@marcgendron6745]

Kettle point ?

[@Ufopirate17Q]

Water hunts are EASILY THE BEST.... TY AND CONGRATS YOU BUMS lol😂😅😢😆

[@turdferguson7504]

Ospreys in the background…

[@mcchuggernaut9378]

How in the hell did a Civil War artillery button come out of ~170 years in a RIVER looking that good?!?!
