Mysterious rock structure found in Tennessee.
Mysterious rock structure found in Tennessee.
Went out on a scouting trip yesterday with my metal detector, and found a mysterious rock structure. Found a civil war breastplate, silver thimble and a lot more.
That is half a mule shoe.
Wow that’s some bucket listers for sure! The breast plate is awesome!
That "broken horse shoe" looks more like a latch hook for a door or a chest to me. It looks as if there is a pin in the center portion where it could pivot. I don’t know, just a thought
Great hunt Jeff. Congrats on the silver thimble and the breast plate. Great finds. Ha ha clean that counter up before the wife gets home. Lol. We guys are all alike. Good job Jeff. Take care and HH. Jim
Great find! I had to actually look it up to see what they were. I’m sure I’ve seen them 1000 times in photos, but never really noticed. https://www.loc.gov/resource/ppmsca.37066/
That looks like half a mule shoe. Congratulations on the plate!
Man!! Congratulations on TWO Bucket Listers Jeff!! Those are both on my list still! I’ve dug brass thimbles and US plates, but never what you dug here. Hope you got that countertop cleaned off in time 😀 Best Wishes, Chris
Hi TJ, Thanks for the interesting vid. Love that thimble mate. Dennis
my son is getting his first metal detector in a couple weeks. He’ll be 11. I don’t know who is more excited, me or him. lol
Way to go TJeff! Congrats on your breastplate and thimble!!!
The Thimble and the Breast plate were awesome finds! Is the breastplate Civil War era? Thanks for sharing and you better get that counter cleaned off quick! LOL…Take care buddy and wish I could get out but ground is frozen so hard cant even dig 🙁 Come on Spring!!
Jeff what part of Tn are u located? I’m n Johnson City… Looking for someone to go detecting with…
Awesome Jeff, congrats on diggin your first Breastplate! I bet Loy crapped a brick when you called him! Nice finds, ?Love that Silver thimble as well! Still on my bucket list! Thanks for sharing and HH
Was a house there once and it probably was a cellar for canned ( fruit jar) maybe under house
At 12:08 is part of an iron hinge for the door on the cabin/barn that part was hammered into the log the pin then went into the hole
Congratulations on the plate buddy👍👏👏👏
at 4:00 Insulator is one end of a radio antenna connection.
It’s too bad people chose it to litter. I’m from middle TN and in my woods there’s a large hole on a hill around 5 or 6 feet deep. There’s a partial foundation, many, many bricks, pieces of brick, some that look burnt. Many of the old square nails, colored glass. There’s also a long stone wall and near that are a few piles of stones next to each other. I found horseshoes, many of those nails, a porcelain top to a fruit jar. In my yard I have found plenty of melted lead, including a good chunk of one. I know metal detecting takes patience, especially when you find junk. We might look odd to other people but I guess they don’t understand the enjoyment of doing it. Anyone that has an interest in metal detecting, I highly recommend a pinpointer. It will make things a lot easier!
I started metal detecting in 2012 and found a forum you might like. It’s the Friendly Metal Detecting Forum. It’s a nice community. https://metaldetectingforum.com/
Very nice silver thimble !!!
You had a great hunt today! Congrats!
Gee, I guess my idea that its a service pit for covered wagons is shot to hell now. Approximately what part of Tenn. is that?
I like watching you. These are adventures I will never do. Thanks for sharing!

Jeff you hit a home run with the breast plate and silver thimble. Nice job
