"A subtle depression in the woods was all that remained of a very early homesite likely built by one of the first settlers of this area.

"Here is a super fun discovery I made in the summer of [----] metal detecting behind a [----] house. TLDR; I found a rare Civil War token with a fascinating history behind it I was getting ready to call it quits after having a decent day with a couple of Indian Head cents and a few flat buttons in the front yard. I wanted to try one tall grass patch in the backyard what I thought would be unproductive part of the site. I got a large shallow coin signal and thought to myself it was going to be clad or a rose tag but to my surprise a large half dollar sized token came out What was even more"

"I was metal detecting at the site of an old orchard when I got a blaring high tone near the road. It ended up being this interesting silver-plated tag with some text on it Once I cleaned it up at home the words revelaed themselves to be: Wm. P. Sargent & Co. Boston Now it was time for the fun part to find out what this tag was really off of After doing some quick research I realized it was off of one of two things both transportation related. The Wm. P. Sargent & Co. was out of Boston and specialized in the manufacture of both horse drawn carriages and velocipedes in the 1860s. If youre like"

"I spent the weekend metal detecting a new area with my friend @Alex Osterhoudt recently. It was Sunday afternoon and we were struggling to find a decent site. Thankfully Alex scored us a nice permission which netted us each some nice finds but that quickly dried up and we didnt have much time to get on another good private permission. We settled for a local town park that had some old houses around it and figured it could hold some stuff. Like most public parks Ive hunted over the years it was absolutely hammered and I was only getting surface signals. Alex got a deep [----] Indian Head Cent"

"I recently obtained permission to metal detect around an [----] house which supposedly had an earlier 1700s foundation underneath. Ive been wanting to search this place for years since it had original dirt and was close to an early 18th century church. Unfortunately someone beat me to the punch several years ago but I was still able to eke out a few relics and coins that were missed. These items tell us a story of the many generations who lived and walked these grounds #metaldetecting #History #oldhouse #1800s #relics"

"My friend Luke and I continued to metal detect around this pile of rocks which is the rubble from an early-1800s cabin site or at least a house site without a basement.

These finds tell us a bit about the house and the people who once lived in these woods #metaldetecting #History #abandoned #1800s #relics"

"This early-1800s barn foundation site was tucked in a hollow hidden from plain view.
