Today finds us in historic New England searching old cellar holes with our metal detectors. Mark Brown invited me to come up from Maryland to his coastal Massachusetts home to visit with him and explore some of his metal detecting permissions. We found some old coins, buttons, and other relics, plus we saw several old wells and even a mysterious cellar hole with a strange underground room.
About Aquachigger:
I enjoy metal detecting for historical items like gold coins, relics, silver coins, and other buried treasures. I also metal detect for gold and silver nuggets and even meteorites. I like to make videos that promote my choice of lifestyle that includes outdoor adventure,
metal detecting, yapping, searching for river treasure, SCUBA diving, exploring abandoned places, hiking, caving, caring for animals and pets, and observing the things outdoors that often go unnoticed by most people who are not familiar with outdoor adventures and nature. I keep my RU-vid "Aquachigger" channel family-friendly and hope you subscribe if you like my style.
BTW, you can also catch me here, / chiggsarmy ,but I may get a little edgier there. FB isn't a place for kids anyway...lol.

The little room in the cellar hole with the flat rock on top is for ice blocks. This was used like a refrigerator to keep stuff cold. Being up here in New England it wasn't to hard to get ice block from local ponds and lakes. I live in New Hampshire and in a area with tons of old cellar holes and some towns that's have been forgotten in time, over grown and easily miss if not looking for them.

Thanks as always for the great video. I’m from upstate, NY and the woods around me look so similar with old stone walls everywhere. Random piles of stones, I’d imagine the original farmer would pick stones up and throw them on a pile. Although difficult to find wells and foundations. There’s a lot less left behind. Many of the areas if love to detect are state lands. Of course there’s plenty to find if you put in the time and research. I always learn great things, signs of human habitation. Thanks Beau ! Take care

This trip reminds me of my trip to Strasberg Pennsylvania up in the north east corner. There were wall of stones 5’ tall and about 6’ wide at the base and you could walk on them. They were like small paddocks or something. Love the history in that area of the country.
@williambrandondavis6897
@williambrandondavis6897 Год назад
I find some like that in Kansas City. I have noticed in my area they are only built in places where you can’t set fence posts because it’s too rocky. I agree with the pastures. I have found evidence of live stock in the ones near me. Horse and cattle stuff and suspender clips from the early 1800’s. The ones I’m familiar with are on the Oregon California trail near a camp depot. One guess is they might have been used during that time for storing animals for sale and trade to the people heading west. Or perhaps they were built by the military during the civil war. There are a lot of rock structures here that are known to have been built for military use during the civil war.

"But Stupid". Artie Johnston. Tim Conway lived a few houses away from me in Chagrin falls Ohio👍. Nice hunt today. That was probably the root cellar. And if it was early enough a pioneer panic room. In case the indigenous people decided to pay a visit. Worth looking into if you can find any records. Great place to hit on those days you don't want to travel far.
