    Speaking as a father of more than a few sons, the scenario goes like this , father asks son's "did any of you see my axe?" They all shake

    That is a waist belt plate from a soldier in the 53rd Regiment of Foot, mustered in 1755. Very cool find sir.

  • @av8rschannel397

    You may have found the remains of one of a soldier from the British 53rd Regiment who led Indian raiders of the infamous “Royalton Raid” of 1780. Brilliant.

    Congratulations! It makes me so happy when relics of such importance are found by folks who genuinely appreciate them for what they are, but more importantly, where they came from. Thanks for documenting your hunt and sharing it with us!

    I've watched this episode several times so now I must Comment! Holy Cow Dude, FIND OF a LIFETIME for sure! 53rd Regimental sword plate! Not to mention, colonial spur, two largies and the list goes on! You underplay your site, I would suspect a small encampment with the mix of relics your finding, keep digging that location, there could very well be hat insignia and some super overcoat sized Rev. buttons! Thanks for sharing your adventure and HH

    I've only recently found your channel so I'm watching all that I can. I was wondering about bears when you mentioned your Glock. The woods are wonderful, you can almost see Mohawks and Abenaki and Mohicans tracking their enemies!
    The 53rd eventually became the Kings Shropshire Light Infantry and,I believe, remain as the 3rd Battalion The Light Infantry. Incidentally, the museum of this old regiment was blown up by the IRA in 1992 when it was located in Shrewsbury Castle which was built in 1070 or so. It was a very, very easy target with no serving soldiers within miles.
    I enjoy your videos very much indeed as I am nuts about American history and to see Colonial material being dug up is very exiting!

    Man those are some amazing finds. You could make a tv show with your videos. As long as no one tried to edit them. lol. It blows my mind the stuff you find that would most likely never be found if you weren't out there digging. Great job and great video. Can't wait for the next one. You are really becoming my favorite CZcams channel.

      Green Mountain Metal Detecting Interesting question, and good answer by DHO. I’m in rural Ohio and often wonder why people would simply abandon so many of the possessions in general. I’d think a bunch of poor farmers would keep their brass candlesticks and pewter spoons if they moved out!

    • @unrulyjulie4382
      @unrulyjulie4382 Před 5 lety +2

      Ty Kendrick ... I have wondered about the spoons as well. I would think for people living in conditions such as those, any possession would be very important. Even a spoon that had broken would be mended.

      @@GMMD we just watched this last night finally and I have to say, that is an incredible dream find. I could tell it was a Rev War plate the minute it got into your hand. Haven't seen many and have never dug one. Forwarded your video to my Relic hunting buddy this morning. We've been digging Colonial and Rev War sites here in Northern Virginia since the mid-90s and other than a few British Rev War buttons and even one USA Continental Army button, that's been about it. To find a plate, and a marked plate from the Revolutionary War is a phenomenal find! Now that is a find that would be hard to ever top! Congratulations! Watching your video of it being dug was the next best thing to finding one myself.
