8,000 Artifacts Found Hidden Under This 1740s Cabin - What Will Our Metal Detectors Uncover Next?

In this exciting adventure, we travel to Northern Maryland to explore the grounds of an incredible 1740's log cabin with rich local history. This cabin was once the town's general store in the late 1700s so there was countless foot traffic coming and going, along with generations of families living inside! One of its most recent residents lived all of her 90 plus years in this very cabin, seeing it evolve with indoor plumbing, electricity, and other modern amenities! Now, the current owner is restoring it to its original state and has already uncovered over 8,000 artifacts during his excavations. From colonial silverware to old coins, marbles, buttons, and pottery-this place is a treasure trove of history!
We'll be teaming up with him to metal detect the land surrounding the cabin, hoping to add even more valuable pieces to his impressive collection. The ultimate goal? To help him open a museum showcasing the vast history of this incredible site. Join us as we dive into the past and try to uncover more relics of early American life!

When I was remodeling old churches in Baltimore in the 70's, I found where some tradesmen had hidden their names on woodwork and other places, as they built or repaired the structures and a few guys even left a date. Of course, being before the internet I never found out anything about the craftsmen from locals, because over a century had gone by. But, I decided right then to sign my own work in a hidden place, just like these guys did. But, I took it a little further adding my current address along with the date and my name. It's been over 50 years and no one has tried to contact me, so I guess my work is still holding up! I dug up lots of old bottles from old privies and found lots of coins under the base boards on the walls. I even found a plastered over hiding place that had a rocking chair, a dome top radio and an old double barrel shotgun. The locals said it was probably used during prohibition days to hide bootleggers or contraband. Unfortunately, I didn't buy my first metal detector until the 80's.

[@mikew9468]

Pretty cool that a young man like that is interested in all that history.

[@pm8465]

Hats off to the young guy, endeavouring to keep the history alive. As a resident of Nottingham, UK, my ears pricked up with the store name. Never ceases to amaze me the number of UK place names in the USA, even down to what are here small villages.

[@wicked_digger]

What an incredible home! Love that the owner is so into the history and had so much information to share! Some great coins and buttons and everything that he has pulled from that floor is incredible!

[@show-metreasure3438]

Jason, amazing permission!! All I can say is, don't forget to crawl under that front porch!!!!! They used to spend a lot of time on the porch back in the good ol' days!!!😊

[@jeanponce2017]

The first thing that caught my eye was that front porch and what would be under it

[@jamesdowell9676]

Jason vary cool finds and property owner. He needs to find the location of the refuge dump and the privey so they can be excavated. Perhaps pass on to pod caster "Under the Plains" or give owner his info. Surely there is a ton of artifacts to be found much deeper than you cover. Keep it up we all dig it! 😆

[@restoreamerica1558]

That 1872 Indian may not be the Holy Grail, but it’s the second best date and worth several hundred bucks depending ! Nice find!

[@soupcitybags4300]

That's gotta be one of the sweetest antique stores I've ever seen. Awesome video Q.H.C.!

[@jerryinsc]

What you guys should be looking for is outhouse locations on this property. If you could find those you could find a bottle bonanza. Just be careful digging them. I've never dug one but have friends who did that and the finds were mind blowing.

[@comfortablynumb9342]

Sounds potentially hazardous to your health digging into an old sewer hole. That stuff could be holding hepatitis or something else. Yuck. I'd wear a Tyvek suit and mask.

[@jerryinsc]

@@comfortablynumb9342 They would be holes that have been covered up for many, many years. You do want to wear gloves and protective clothing but mostly due to broken glass. It is a slow process because there are potentially very valuable bottles and other items in these things so you don't want to risk damaging them. I think it's a little digging and a lot of very careful scraping. Do some research on it and talk to others with experience if you can. I don't think there is anything to worry about as far as disease unless you cut yourself and don't clean it and it gets infected but that can happen digging in any soil. Keep your tetanus shots up to date.

[@chadjones4236]

Couple of guys I've worked with that's what they always looked for and they found amazing stuff 👍

[@chadjones4236]

[@johnholmes6897]

What a beautiful place. I was a typical kid that hated History as a subject in school. I didn't care much for what Ben said to George and why. But there was that one day... A friend of mine and I cut school ( history class of course) we went out on our dirt bikes and we both wiped out in the same spot. Long story short, we stumbled on an old revolutionary forge. We looked around and found 6 cannon balls. We grabbed 1 each a fit back in our bikes, broke every rule in the book and did 60-70 mph on side roads to race back to our history teacher who in fact, we forgot that we were currently cutting his class. Well, we ran in and showed him what we had. He promptly forgot we cut too. Lol This was in the early 80s. We brought him back to where we found them and within a year the did this big archeological dig. They found bayonets, balls, everything. It was in the "frontier" back then and the Britts had no idea it existed. This forge and many others were partly responsible for winning the revolution. I've been hooked ever since. I know archeologists hate metal detectors, however, if used correctly they can add so much to a dig. Not to mention if they should even dig there.

[@HappyQuailsLC]

I know that practicality would have been King in those days, and a space beneath a new floor at some point in the distant past would have created an ideal opportunity to discard some waste, that would have otherwise required hauling, dumping, breaking up and probably burning. But if by any chance, someone foresaw the future interest that might be paid to common items at some untold future time, it would have been gratifying for that person to know that his or her efforts would indeed be discovered hundreds of years later. And marveled at... as well as the fact that the well built and cared for building would remain in fine order in the fantastically distant and incomprehensible future of 2024.

I wish you could go to the Wheel Pump Inn at Germantown outside Philly. That was an inn and tavern from the mid 1700s and into the late 1800s. Some of my ancestors owned it for a time during and after the Revolution. American soldiers passed by it after the Battle of Germantown, and my relatives gave free ale to the soldiers passing by. Unfortunately, someone new has bought it and not using it as an inn.
