Record breaking best day ever for us metal detecting this untouched site in New Hampshire 

WOW!!! Waynos totally played down the day when he described it as "amazing". It seemed to me that it was more like "BARKING AMAZING!!!". How did Ebenezer ever manage to keep his clothes on?

Damn, you guys have the most fun!

Freaking spectacular. Ebenezer was smiling down on your gang

I believe congratulations are in order for all of you, that was find after find and I totally loved watching. Thank you for sharing your epic button bonanza lol and the other goodies that you all found. As Terry said I don't remember hearing so many good targets on the detectors then he fell asleep just before Dame teased the beautiful shoe buckle out, he went be happy bless him. Take care my friends, good luck and happy hunting. God bless you Mary-Ellen LFOD

Awesome dig. Boy that’s a lot of Frickin buttons guys. 👍 live free or die ! 👍😊🍀⚒🇺🇸

killer hunt, SDN for life!!!!!!!!!

Peace Pipe Sweetened. Cracked a Hi-Life. Lighter at hand. Strapped in Millenium Facon Style in front of my trusty 2010 MacBook and ready for this episode.

Holy moly!!!!!! Buttons, buttons you found the mother load of all sites!!!!👍 Thank god for little girls!!! You’re going to need a separate case to hold all these finds and more to come!! Awesome guys👍👍👍

What a dig! You are proof that those dedicated to the hobby will have these days. Tenacity will persevere! Congratulations to all of you.

Some of them large buttons could be a GW inaugural, careful wiping it to much. Great day folks. Very happy for you all and the history your saving.

What an awesome day! Keep up the good work.

Holy Barking bark! That’s amazing! Them kids were making Ebenezer poor just by all the buttons they kept losing! Awesome hunt!

bloody hell a lot of digging for you lads what a great site, congrats and good luck on the next HH and best wishes,,,pat

Great video!!! It Looked like a beautiful day with Amazing finds and lots of laughs!!! Congratulations on the Beautiful buckle Dame!!! Keep up the great work guys!!

20 Minutes in. OMG !!! 15 minutes to go. Congrats Dame, Tim, Waynos, and Charlie, way to find a new site.

Holy BARK!! Your right, what a button hole that was!! Congrats Dame on the shoe buckle!☆

It's so nice remembering everything leading up to this epic day. I'm surprised Ebenezer didn't have every young man within 50 mile radius volunteering to help stack stone walls. Dame's discovery near the large stones really put it all in perspective. Great job clearing the spot Dame. Thanks for sharing the hunt and finds. Take care.

What a day it was..great hiking,hunting and recovering history with friends..cant beat that...#LFOD

Wow! Outstanding hunt! Relics,coins and crazy buttons!

Awesome video guys. Definitely going to be hard to top that day. Congratulations on all the finds. Thanks for sharing. Until next time HH&GL *Chris*

Wow ! What a day that was. Slow down pace yourselfs, there's a whole summer coming. HH. LFOD

Wow, anyone need a button???? Great day!!!!

I guess we learned the more kids you have, the more buttons you lose. I can see the family doing very hard work on their homestead & easily knocking off some of the huge buttons.

Outstanding Hunt!! Dame, love the buckle!!

OMG WHAT A DAY, THROUGHLY ENJOYED, RECORD SETTING DAY AND I LOVE THAT BUCKLE VERY COOL.

" I got Ruffed Grouse belly" LOL What an awesome day!

Holy Smokes!!! Unbelievable!! Those kind of days don't come around often! Great day guys!

That was a great show. There was a lot of buttons in that spot. No it was unbelievable. Cool, cool...

You know you are in for a ride when you see 35 min on the ticker !

I love re-watching this one! The small ball buttons could also be from a ladies blouse. Those blouses were called “shirtwaists”, or at least they were called that in the late 1800’s. When a little girl “grew up”, (13 ish maybe?) her mom would stop making her dresses to wear, she graduated to a shirt waist and skirt-but the skirt didn’t reach the ground. They didn’t reach the ground until mom decreed it.😎

Crazy hunt, guys! Thanks for sharing with SDN!

What a day you guys had! At the 19:31 mark the button there sure looks similar to the design that I found near Augusta last year. Head spinning day Charlie. Congratulations to Waynos and Digger D, Tim and you, Charlie

Congratulations to all of you!!! What an Absolutly Amazing dig!!!! Keep Digging up the History!!! LIVE FREE OR DIE!!!!!!

holy dog bark on all the buttons ! great video like always.

That awesome Shank was truly an epic moment ! So many buttons ! How cool is that? Keebs missed out big-time ! What a day for SDN ! And Dame finding that shoe buckle...WOW

Wow what a button fest ! thanks for sharing the awesome hunt !

Congrats on a great day. You will out do it this summer. Good Luck, Rick

Daaaaayum, you weren't kidding when you said some awesome videos were coming up - wow! That's a dream site. Can't wait to see what else you find, and congrats to Dame on that shoe buckle frame!

WOW, what an incredible day for you guys. Niiiiiiiiiiccccceeeeee.

Wow Ebeneezer was definitely no scrooge today,great dig guys

omg its ebenezers place👍what a place😀love the history for this place charlie😎congrats charlie on buttonless shank 😃 tim an wayno great finds 😀dame sometimes you got to do what u gotta do 😄

That hole Dame found could easily been a hole for ground storage of food to keep it fresh through the winter. Farmers or settlers would dig separate holes, 1 for each vegetable. So after digging the hole , they would line it with rocks then fresh hay. Then put in the lined pit either potatoes, onions, even apples. Then, they cover the mound with a combination of rocks, dirt, hay, and boards. Put up a makeshift door so no varmints can steal the food, and all winter you have fresh vegetables or fruits. By the end of a winter season, the foods would begin to get “mushy”-eatable but not great. Then, the summer comes and planting starts the process all over. Just a bit of trivia.😎

Would have thought there'd be maybe a thimble or two. Then again if they could sew you probably wouldn't have had this day. Great hunt I love the old buttons myself.

If there was ever a group of people who I'd like to see find a relic full virgin spot, it would be all of the stealth diggers. That was an epic day. Congratulations to all of you! It was a joy to watch. Can't wait for the return visits!!! Dame, you may have found a Conestoga horse shoe. Imagine the importance of that find if that's true. I would love to own a piece of history like that. That's why I want a Conestoga bell sooooo bad.

So wonderful to hear about the family who lived there. Keep it up.

SD are awesome. Good job and keep digging history

Digger Dame must have had a premonition about this dig DD-“it’s gonna be a great day.” By a lotto ticket Digger Dame. Nice job guys!

This is the year! What a start you guys are having! Pretty much run out of exclamations to describe this day. With all that, you dug a buttonless shank! Certainly a hunt for the ages!!! LFOD!

Awesome hunt guys enjoy, every digger knows that's once or twice in a lifetime .

Charlie - I am a few days late watching this. What a day!!!!

That is a crazy amount of relics in that footprint. They walk around ripping their shirts off throwing buttons all over? That or mom was terrible at sewing.

Extraordinary site. Untouched splendor in the woods. So much in that chimney stack. could it have been a burn down? I think I actually saw Dame tuckered out...and it was nice to see DC digging with abandon and running up the score. Love to know what happened there to produce so many lost buttons. All and all a great day glad I got to see it

Wow 35 minutes of amazing finds! Love it!!!

Very nice digs! Congrats!😊😊

How many daughters did old Ebenezer have?? Wow!! That must have been one crazy place for that many buttons to be spread out like that. Crazy!! LFOD!!

Bonanza Button Blow out can they top out this episode Stay tune cause any thing can happen on a Thursday time to relax and let the button hoard fever reside now comes the Button dreams!!!; )

Mama Ebenezer had a TON of sewing to do! Her button bag was put to good use.

Killer hunt guys!!Crazy amount of buttons!!

Awesome hunt guys and an outstanding video, Charlie, congratulations! I have just recently discovered a similar site out in the woods here in PA that appears to be relatively untouched (except for being leveled by farming up through the 1930s) and is yielding a lot of buttons so far, but nothing to the extent of what you guys are getting yet. No trace at all of any foundation though, and I can't see anything but fields or pasture on the aerial photos from late 1930s. I just discovered this place about a month ago and with my AT Pro and NEL Thunder coil I've pulled out over a dozen flat and tomb buttons and one blowhole button, all in an area of probably about 70' X 70'. The buttons have been fairly deep maybe 6-10" on average but a few weren't quite as deep. The thing that really almost made me faint, though, was a 1790 4 Reales with Mexico City mint mark, in beautiful condition and not deep! I found a heavily corroded 1802 largie maybe 100 feet west, then a #2 crotal bell a little farther west, then a toasted largie, a slick 27 mm holed probably halfpence or maybe VA or VT copper (no way to ID it), and somewhat corroded 1866 Indian Head and I865 2 cent about 200 feet west... all of those were 3" or less deep. There was a tavern not too far away and a farm building or maybe two about exactly on that site, but the old 1850s maps are pretty inaccurate, so I don't know if I'm onto the tavern site itself. I have no clue if the foundation could simply be buried with the top of it maybe only a few inches deep, plowed over maybe in the 1870s or so. Need to try a little test digging if I can to see if I hit foundation stones, crockery, bottles, etc, but for now I just want to keep detecting and really go slow and try to grid and be patient like I've (gratefully) learned from you. Regarding the wealth of buttons, it's interesting to hear everyone's conjecture, and that's about all we can do is guess at this time. I'm no expert at all, but IMHO, while this family was heavily engaged in farming for their livelihood and survival, I don't think these buttons were worn during the actual hardest work of farming - clearing, plowing, cultivation, planting, animal husbandry and such. I think these dandy buttons & tombacs were on their Sunday best waistcoats etc. and the farming clothes would've had maybe wood or bone/horn buttons, dunno if they would've used any ceramics or glass or maybe lead for work clothes. I think most of the stuff you and I are finding was probably gilded especially those with intricate fancy patterns. My theory is that these were dropped randomly over time during family get togethers for holidays, outings to church on Sunday, other social gatherings at the house where kids would be playing, singing, dancing, etc. Life was harder then, so even going out in your best waistcoat with dandy buttons required getting on and off a horse or in and out of a carriage or sleigh, then probably having to fetch water or go to the outhouse or feed/milk animals while still dressed up from that outing. I've found 4 of the exact same button scattered pretty widely, so I think that's attrition from the same waistcoat over time with buttons being added as replacements for the lost ones. Some commenters had some morbid theories too, and I highly doubt that you and I are finding anything like that given the scatter pattern and depth.

I’m completely gob-smacked. What a day! Congrats guys.

What. A. Day!

What an amazing awesome day for you guys nice going 👍 some incredible finds !!! Really is so beautiful where you guys are

Wowzers! What a site, Ebenezer's Ye Olde Needlecraft shoppe all types of buttons in stock all types of garment repaired LOL, amazing day! Thanks guys really enjoyed that !! Nice Shoe Buckle Dame! Cheers

So jealous, great job on video ..someday I hope I find a large cent ...someday ,someday...

hey stealth diggers sweeeeeeeeeeeeet hunt guys ,great finds , So glad I can watch and be a part of your adventures (thumbs up from Alaska)

Sometimes there are moments so astounding it can't be put into words. This was one of those moments for me watching you guys dig. It then began to make me want to ask questions. Why such a plethora of buttons in that one corner you were diggin' Charlie? Was it a wardrobe full of clothes and they burned? Was it a place where they kept spare buttons? Was there a reason for all the dandy buttons all over the place too? This certainly looks like the guy had money in spite of so many daughters. Maybe he spent all his money on button filled clothes for himself and his girls?! ha ha ha All I can say in the end is Ebenezer's place is amazing and I am so glad you guys found it.

I found a horseshoe similar to that one in a abandoned logging camp in NE Minnesota. It measures 7 1/2 inches wide by 7 1/2 inches long. It has cleats for hauling sleds loaded with logs on the ice roads.

What an unbelievable day!

Boy Ebenezer's wife really sucked at sewing on buttons didnt she! Congratulations on all the great finds!!

What a great site to dig Wow. Congrats to all you guys for an excellent hunt 👍👍👍 SDN

Those girls lost a lot of buttons, GREAT video guys looking forward to the next!!!

Nice job guys. Congrats on all the goodies.

Ebaneezer HAD to be a button maker. Unbelievable virgin site. Great great research and beautiful site. Great job Charlie, Dame, Waynos and Tim.

that was a diggers dream site. great hunt. name that ebs button home/lol

I have not even watched it yet, and I do NOT believe it. You told me too. UNBELIEVEABLE !

Crazy hunt ! Very happy for you all

Awesome hunt and finds guys thanks for sharing enjoyed watching 👍👍👍👍👍

Holy crap guys!!! Wow.

A true button bonanza! No such thing as a bazinga there!

Incredible site and incredible hunt. So many relics. Thanks for sharing it all!

Wow. Awesome button day for all. Great coin Tim & buckle Dame.

wow! what fun!

WOW just Wow, what a day guys I think you could of set a Genesis record. Congrats on the dig lot hard work on research and it paid off. Be Safe and HH.

GREAT ONE! Congrats to all! Btw, where’s Smokin’Joe been?🤔

Wow that’s amazing it doesn’t get any better than that!

I knew it from that snow vid. That place is a jackpot! Congrats guys! You deserve it from the time put in. And Dame's homework to discover Ebenezer had that many daughters, plus the number of buttons found so far, actually answers questions to my virgin site vid. That hot spot of buttons just inside the footprint of the home matches the same one we found. It had to have been the women's bedroom, or a sewing corner?

Awesome adventure and great finds ! Thank you for a great video !

Very Nice finds.

With that many girls in his family you'd think someone would have learned how to sew the buttons on better so they wouldn't keep falling off all the time. 😂🤣😁😆

One last thing: from what I’ve read about Colonial times and the 1800’s, your huge horseshoe was probably 1 of 2 possibilities: 1) the obvious first guess is a Clydesdale, but the 2) 2nd possibility is a Belgian horse. Those horses were here in the 1800’s at least, and wow, they are big, strong horses-especially valuable for farmers trying to plow inhospitable lands.😎

There must be some acidic soil on that site, most of the finds look pretty beat up! Great fun to watch though, thanks for sharing guys 👍

👏👏👏👏👏👏 congratulations you guys ya like kids in a candy store digger dame his face was a picture great finds well done great to watch
