Looking for a Mine on the side of a New Hampshire mountain

[@Moe-nm4nv]

Excited to have found this channel. I love the geography of New Hampshire.

[@davidparadis490]

In NY, there is the lost Blenheim silver mine, which was covered up when the British Army was coming...to my knowledge, it still hasn't been found...

[@travelingtravy8791]

Great job Charlie. My old man lives in a cabin on Lake Francis in Clarksville, NH . He tells me stories all the time of stonewalls that go on for miles . Also a wagon wheel that a tree has grown through and lifted in the air. These videos really inspire me to see what I can find using the resources available to me . Keep up the great work 👍 S.D.N - LIVE FREE OR DIE

[@ginagelinas9942]

Keeping the wonder alive... Thank you Charlie!

[@ronfad1756]

Old topo maps is what i use . I am not a metal detector just an explorer and find that old topo maps are of much help they show a lot of old mine and quarry sites that i love to explore.

[@gailoursler2750]

Yeah!!! I get to take a hike today without getting out of my Lazyboy!!! Lol Been a rough week and now I get to relax with your video. Thank you Charlie.♥️

[@jdhinckley1954]

Great narrative! I'm always looking at the surrounding landscape as I drive through VT, NH, & ME. You can see the old logging roads, and certainly the old railroad right of ways. Beautiful old slabs of granite. I totally understand what is so interesting. Thanks for sharing!

[@xpxp1]

excellent video. 😎 beautiful scenery. 🏞️💯

[@christywerpy63]

Hi Charlie, I found your site looking through "metal detecting". I watched this episode hoping you'd find that mine. Amazed at the HUGE slabs of granite littered across the landscape. Even at that elevation there were farms and stone walls built. Awestruck...The fortitude and perseverance it took to move and stack those stones, clear trees for a homestead and/or barn let alone providing for oneself or even a family back then. It was neat to see the paths our forefathers created to travel. Really enjoyed the journey with you. Good hunting!

[@stevekersten5515]

A great start for the NT channel, Charlie.

[@terrylemmon38]

Looking forward to following you guys here on your new channel, as always quality videos on Not Thursday and Stealth Diggers will be made. Thanks for all y’all do for the hobby

[@NotThursday]

Thank you Terry

[@austinpatch7585]

this so cool

[@hermitdan2472]

Always like your "Squatchin" videos! Thanks for the history and knowledge ...

[@ecotangokeithfugittrkkf733]

Really can’t thank you enough man ! Greatly appreciate your part in doing what you do. I always look forward to seein what ever you and the Gang put on Video 💪

[@steveinthemountains8264]

I look forward to many NT hikes & bushwhacks in the months to come. I'm strapping on the snowshoes later this morning and am hiking up to Kearsarge via the Lincoln Trail.

[@NotThursday]

Have a great hike Steve

[@MrAussiedarren]

Just as enjoyable to watch the 2nd time around. That was an excellent series DC....SDN 👍👍👍

[@NotThursday]

Thanks buddy ! you know i appreciate it

[@joesargent285]

@@NotThursday hi glade see your in the woods I'm from NH I've gold panned Alot in the past years ago and I had a map made of all the mines in NH the original copies in the library I made a map we did find one mine in Maine that wasn't on the map it was a gold mine the map I'm talking about classified every mine back in 1800s I don't want to plaster it on Facebook give me a shout and I'll tell you on the phone which Library the mine in Maine was pretty cool way up tin Mountain but will pain in the river never went back good luck

[@joesargent285]

Ask the older people who are still alive and you will have goodl Luck on info older folks know there history if any one is still alive worked for me for years looking for stuff in the woods

[@ColinHarperSummerson]

Well done for persevering Charlie, youre probably the only one thats tried to find the mine, one day you will find it, great video, looked a beautiful place to explore 👍

[@bobbybaldeagle702]

Have you ever thought about wearing a yellow pair of glasses when you're out there looking for things.... I can remember back in the day when I started wearing Yellow glasses when I was out in the woods it made everything so much clearer and I could see further and through the trees better... Especially with snow on the ground .... I must say kiddo I really enjoyed this half hour video you sure covered a lot of ground... Those rock formations were awesome on that side of the mountain how jagged they were and they look just tossed around by nature it's really neat... Someday when I'm physically able to travel again I'd like to jump on my Can-Am Spyder and head up your way it sure looks like pretty country... For many years I've rode across this great country of ours but I've never been up the northeastern part.... I'm not as young as I once was but I'm not as old as I'm going to be. So as soon as God works a miracle fixing me up I'm going to be back out on the road again I got many of Miles to cover yet with my knees in the breeze... Thanks again for another great video 👍👍... So with lots of love and many prayers be blessed kiddo... BBE 👍 👍🤗 🤗

[@NotThursday]

Thank you so much Bobby and yes back in the days before filming everything I always wore some type of glasses out in the woods. Mostly to protect my eyes but now with filming they just bother me unfortunately .

[@jessiepayne737]

Really enjoyed the series, very well done and informative. Thanks Charlie for taking us through the research and search.

[@ClaytonCountyHistoryHound]

Excellent combination of the search. Enjoyed watching. Take care and be safe.

[@5280Adventures]

I really enjoy exploring these areas through NT. Its fun to put all the puzzle pieces and signs together to figure out the stories. Thank you for documenting this site and exploration. Its been fun. #IWANTMYNTV #SDN4LIFE

[@NotThursday]

Love your tags as always Tony #IWANTMYNTV

[@lorrainetaylor5750]

Nice if you find what your looking for, but I am loving going along on your adventure 👍

[@chrisjordan4574]

Excellent video.! Love the way you make sense of they lay of the mountain side! Keep looking 👍

[@NotThursday]

Glad you enjoyed the vid Chris

[@Ktmoney123]

I’m liking theses exploring videos, hope to see more

[@jaybales3160]

Nice hike and scenery. Second time viewing but want to give the numbers for recorded viewings.

[@NotThursday]

That is much appreciated

[@wbenken7655]

It’s interesting how well you can see details of old cart paths, tracks, cellars and hopefully for DC, old cave entrance. When the first 1” of snow falls or the last 2” are melting, the snow super highlites high and low spots! Good luck tracking that entrance- may the force be with you.

[@paulthomas2337]

Very possible the actual mine was a big rock quarry which you found split rocks which were hauled out on those carts to use for making buildings in the local townships. Quarries are often called mines too!

[@ericpouliot3666]

if you follow the trail to the open ledge face with the view you just keep going around to the other side of the ledge at the point. There on the top of the mtn on the hillside where it is wooded you will find the mine. Its easier if you climb up from Madam Sherri Forrest and past Indian pond versus coming up from Wantastiquet mtn.

[@MatthewPfeil]

I have three devices playing this one vid on repeat right now. It was 4 while I was doing some house chores, but I needed my phone to make this comment. Hopefully that helps out. Lol!

[@bobdip1798]

Mine all Mine LOL! That Trench and Cave may be what you are looking for. A service/storage Barn/shack would be Associated with a Mine. A foundation.. Tailings piles, if you can get reference to What Kind of mine it could be will give clues. A research series on youtube may be Cody's lab mining Videos the First few shows how only a fer years effect the enterenc not to mention centuries

[@steveclark4291]

I would love to just come out there to hike that area looking for it and enjoying the the adventure doing so !

[@gutfinski]

Minerals found on that mountain in Chesterfield were basically azurite, malachite, and chalcopyrite which are copper-bearing minerals. The cost if processing the ore was prohibitive although with the current price of copper, today it might be profitable.

[@TrooperBri]

Oooohh. I like the dark blue/purple logo at the end.

[@crazycressy7986]

What was minded at the mine ? have you done a Google image searcher of the mines in New Hamshire ? theres loads on there ,yes it could be an open mine like on the plato ?

[@ecotangokeithfugittrkkf733]

Bucks County PA.. thanks !

[@chriswartick7624]

Your awesome man!! Thanks

[@beepseatsfindingfoodtreasu8756]

Still catching up on the videos, I think you were right, that would be the tailings pile. And it would have provided the space to turn the oxen team around. Good location for loading up the ore. I'd try finding out more about the smelting operation. They would have kept a more detailed observation of the mine. They were recording the amount of recovery per ton. Just another clue to try to follow up on. Best of luck finding this one.

[@craigtalley]

I used to walk the woods looking for civil war camps there were no maps of where they were! I got so I could tell where the would probably be! The hardest ones to find would usually have more relics and were worth the hike! Love the new channel great idea!

[@steveclark4291]

Is the ground over the edge real rough from possible waste material being pushed or thrown over the edge ? Which would allow access to whatever they might have been digging out making that plateau area .

[@davidl2078]

I was thinking quarry, that split granite has the signature. These people were meticulous so if it was recorded that they finished the job, there would be little left behind unlike the abandoned quarry I found in MA. Where there was tales of precious metal so they left discarded hearthstone pieces everywhere.

[@LixxFungis]

Awesome channel awesome idea! I live in deerfield and love exploring my small town

[@NorCalTim]

As with all your videos this one was just as enjoyable the second time around

[@NotThursday]

Thanks Tim

[@MNpicker]

That was fun.. Very cool place 😎

[@williamking2249]

Lots of Beech trees good video👍

[@NotThursday]

Thanks William

[@chunkynothing5773]

Trying to help the view hours. Ive watched this video 3 times. Cool info and history.

[@NotThursday]

Awesome and thank you so much

[@danssmokintreasures]

Thanks for the video Charlie.

[@1989Falkor]

Native Americans mined flint I know for sure. My dad has wrote a book on it. They dug trenches into the hill sides here, maybe that one spot in your video is one.

[@Luciddreamer007]

I had to stop the video and comment immediately following the tales from topographic oceans reference Alan White long time Yes drummer passed a few days back The tales album was his first and he had three days to get ready for it …. Charlie ….. Now I know your cool 😎 Keep your brilliant & informative videos a cumin’ cause this Connecticut Yankee turned Arkansas Razorback LOVES them !!!

[@jenniferturner1213]

Doesn’t look easy to find, that’s for sure! Great job! ~Ninjen~

[@NotThursday]

Not at all

[@steveclark4291]

If it was far enough back years ago nature could have reclaimed it a lot too ! That ditch like area could be an old strip mine ! We have those in southeastern part of Kansas where coal was dug out many years ago !

[@steveclark4291]

I already am enjoying the channel ! Thank you ! I love it very much !

[@clutchrider39]

Impressive searching. Has anyone noticed. No cigar! Haha. After climbing and retracing, I wouldn’t strike one either. 👍🏼✌🏼

[@NotThursday]

Lol and thank you John, no bugs no smoke needed

[@hedgehogville]

www.mindat.org/loc-9394.html If this is the mine, the page includes gps coordinates. I hope it helps!

[@NotThursday]

That is not the one Connie, but great research on your end.

[@beepseatsfindingfoodtreasu8756]

At times the opening may be small just large enough for a man to walk with a wheelbarrow or small cart. Add to that the natural sluff that comes down from weather it may only be a small or closed opening now. The waste rock would have been used to improve the way out of the area

[@AbandonedMaine]

Finding any old mines out here in Maine is turning out to be quite frustrating.

[@kevinstrickland4881]

I watched the hunt for the old mine again and well... didn't find it this time either. Maybe next time.

[@NotThursday]

Hopefully this spring Kevin

[@stringfrenzy]

Nice work

[@snowman7019]

Just wondering if the town line was the stonewall?

[@rahrah5576]

nice recap

[@paulakennedy293]

Another great channel. I watch most of the time on my big screen TV instead of going the computer so I don't get to comment much now.

[@davidparadis490]

I'm assuming the plateau isn't on the south side...wonder what side of mountain plateaus usually show up on...in part 2, I was thinking the plateau could be the tailings of the mining operation...then you hit upon that idea in part 3...dig a test pit to find out...

[@johnharms6178]

good job-

[@timmyshaw5562]

Great Video

[@txtiger6927]

just adding comments, that cut stone is still cool as hell

[@coreyrandlett4200]

Great video. Just found your channel, great stuff. I live in NH and done a lot of hiking in these woods. The idea of looking for lost towns and history has always interested me. Did you ever find the mine?

[@flaminglaughter]

I lived in NH for 23 years. This looks like the Monadnock region. Is it?

[@tylersadler862]

Where are you looking Iv been trying to hunt down a mine as well. I’m in nh too

[@BinladenObama]

Heve you ever thought about using a drone to search the area?

[@rapiddog1491]

Sasquatch is gonna get you.

[@murray3841]

Dude I’m a vet and live in my and I’m getting into finding stone tools. My jasper came up in my research I want to check it out

[@mezellenjohnson2753]

If there was an opencast mine Charlie up there somewhere would or could logging activities over the years have wiped any signs of it away? Just a random thought my friend, good luck on your quest, Mary-Ellen LFOD

[@QuestForDetails]

im sub 981 just saw it go to 982 looks like success and a happy tomorrow good luck !!

[@suebarrett1485]

Great video! 👣👀

[@NotThursday]

Thanks Sue

[@mikemc7704]

You said you couldn't find the mine? But I think the piles of rocks that you walking by and did not give any thought to. It could be a possibility that under one of those piles of rocks could be the entrance to the mine. You may have to deploy a strategy to pin point the piles of rocks were an entrench could be. You may find it. I know you have done research that can help now go out there and find it.

[@ericpouliot3666]

its not anywhere the granite rock piles at the bottom of the ledge. Its at the very top of the mtn (mine Mtn). probably 100 feet east from the mine ledge.

[@MerrylBustin]

Nice replay Charlie!

[@susanzampell842]

Is there a reason you don't say where this is?

[@beepseatsfindingfoodtreasu8756]

The plateau was the waste rock. The mine is located in the immediate area. And they may not have tunneled they could have sheared off the rock face until they pinched what ever material it was out to make it not worth continuing.

[@briantheminer]

Running in the opposite direction to your hi-tech detecting, have you ever tried “dowsing” with rods, that plateau area for instance, easy to do. I’ve only done it a few times, but to my colleagues amazement, located the 2 tunnel entrances to an illusive mine we were looking for

[@jake4x41982]

Hey thats my turkey platter ! Story: The minute man statue in Concord at the Old North Bridge Is of Captain Isaac Davis of Acton. He was the first killed at the bridge, first officer killed in the war & first killed in opened planned battle. A few years later is widow married Samuel Jones. They are my direct ancestors. Kinda Star Treky, if he didnt get his head blown off I would not be here now. Anyhows we owe him a debt of gratitude along with the other Rev war men LFOD !

hey Digger Charlie I SUBSCRIBED brother ,looking forward to seeing many awesome video's (BIG thumbs up in Alaska )

[@jimgriffiths9071]

OK, so the Mine is still unlocated. The first explorers must have stumbled across a quartz seam in the granite. This is a very intriguing thread.
