Pioneer Artifact Discoveries In WA State

[DOP]

Hi everybody! My son and I are history enthusiast and we have been detecting an old pioneer camp in the Mountains of Washington State. We posted a YouTube video with our finds along with some of the history of the area. Here’s a look if anybody wants to check it out!

Neat day in the woods with your kid . I think the unidentified iron might be a wagon wheel spring??????

Yes! I think you’re right! That’s cool!

Welcome to the forum. Congrats on some cool relics recovered. Great to see your boy's enthusiasm. You seem to have raised him right and have a hunting partner for many years to come. Priceless.

Great video. It's great to go hunting with your son. Great memories made doing what you both enjoy. My young son is now 38 years old and no longer hunts with me.

Its a funny thing, kids...... tried to get both boys into hunting. They had the urge just not the time. Oldest boy eventually spent the money to come back home and paid out of state fees. First year back he was hunting deer and I had my elk tag. What walks out, yup!! Got it field dressed and back to the truck at 9 at night, what does he text his little brother (in Colorado)? “Dude, sh@t just got real”. Back to camp after getting it home and hung at 3:00am. Best food and drink everrrr!!! Both have an interest in detecting just no time.....
One son in law is getting a detector end of the month and I will mentor him along. Ex coworker is real interested and I will help get her get started as well. Current Search and Rescue mantracker would like to learn and I will get her started as soon as she gets her detector. Point is your sons and daughters will eventually come home and they will go out, just on their time and now that Im retired I have the time. Life goes full circle in more ways than one.

Yes actually the big cats are a constant concern. Can be very unnerving. They will follow all day and you won’t even know they are there. We do take precautions. The black bears are very common but not so scary. They just want to be left alone.
