Not Thursday hiking exploring history Olight flashlights metal detecting New Hampshire VlOG Fisher F19 metal detector
With researching local NH history and spending many hours on the ground hiking and exploring i uncovered and found some amazing history.
DAY 1
Going for a long hike and exploring the woods of New Hampshire looking for lost and abandoned homesites from the 1700's. A lot of these lands have returned to forest and or wetlands but at one point in time were old farms from the colonial days of America.
Once a cellar hole is located i use my Garrett ATGOLD metal detector to find relics from the past . This is all work to map our local history and preserve the relics that are dug up out of the ground.
Once again i get caught out in bad weather except this time it is down pouring rain like never before.
DAY 2
I waited 3 months to go back to a colonial cellar hole that i found here in New Hampshire back in August of 2018. I had got caught in a summer downpour shortly after finding the home site and because the hike in was so bad i figured i would wait until fall.....which is now !
I start swinging my Garrett ATGOLD and start digging up relics from the past and its clear this is going to be a lot of stuff found here.
During the dig i find some amazing old buttons that still have cloth wrapped around them which is unreal when you think that they have been in the ground most likely 200 years. When detecting a site like this its good to approach it in mind that everything you dig up from the past is an important part of history making all the finds beautiful.
Knifes, buttons, iron tools and more in this video
DAY 3
When I went out to film this video I decided to change it up with the presentation. Letting the video footage breath and not doing a ton of edits to make you the viewer feel more embedded . We are going metal detector treasure hunting.....well kind of .
I hiked out to the cellar hole that waited for my third visit to the 1700s lost colonial farm to do some metal detecting relic hunting. It was a very slow and quiet hunt to start out with until I got a very mixed signal in the lip of the cellar hole with the Garrett ATGOLD detector. The lip around the cellar hole is essentially the slight lift on the ground where the house once was and always loaded with iron. After pulling out a few old square nails I pulled out a big copper coin. Wow ! look at that its a 1730 King George II coin . Another awesome find to put in the town museum.
DAY 4
I went for a hike just before sundown here in New Hampshire to go exploring the abandoned farm lands from the colonial 1700s days. I follow a lot of the old rock walls built and left by the early settlers of New England in search for where houses may have once stood and find the cellar holes left behind. On this day i am connecting the dots between two old farms and trek through some pretty rough terrain of swamp , trees, rocks and hills.
While mapping these locations The hope is to find these old foundations so we can do some metal detecting relic hunting to find artifacts from the past.
