There's something screaming right here. I got to dig this right now! KG and I are in Virginia, hot on the trail of legendary explorer John Smith. We're trying to make history and be the first to find artifacts from Smith's 1608 expedition of the Chesapeake Bay that can be displayed in the museum.

Thanks to our archaeologist, Marc, we discovered the foundation of a historic house alongside the Native American Trail where John Smith and Pocahontas could have been. And I just got a slammin' hit! I pull out this clump of brass and I'm thinking right away, "Oh, it's just garbage," and then I take a second look.

Oh! Oh! This could be something great! I have no idea, it's almost too much to bear. Look at it! Can you see the magic? Holy cow! My mind froze up like a machine with gears that get a stick caught in it, and it seizes up like this. Just like that, KG, I just found something that's—I don't even know how to describe it! It's so crazy awesome! How much shaking? I cannot believe this!

Look at the giant eagle in the holeshot! Oh my God! Yeah, you know what it is? It's got to be some military thing, awfully from accoutrement. That could be Civil War, that could be this, because even older, older! There's another eagle right there!

Oh, there is double eagle! Haha! I know I've got some awesome old military item. It's obviously not John Smith era because it has the U.S. eagle on it, but this is an amazing find!

Yeah, baby! I got awesomeness in the pock! Listening to this off the camera wire. Hey, look at this mark! Wow! Tell me what it is! Tell me, Marc! You can tell me! I have no idea what it is—the artifact that we just found. We're gonna take some pictures of it, try to figure out what it is. Just don't know at this time.
