OMG! i found a colonial cellar hole metal detecting that's untouched & loaded with finds

[@NavyVeteran1776]

You know why I like your channels? It’s because y’all are legitimately happy when y’all find stuff. It doesn’t have to be gold or rings or coins. You are out to find history. Many channels I watch are all about the coins/gold. Keep on keeping on.

[@impunitythebagpuss]

These guys and GMMD get more excited over a button ,a shoe buckle or a half cent than all the gold and guns pulled off beaches!

[@jugghead-1975]

That's awesome... and realistic! Quickly becoming my favorite hobby! Right up there with hunting and fishing 🎣

[@14Daysin]

who gives a fuck about a buckle from 1700

[@kishascape]

Yeah I get tired of the delusional treasure morons. Just ruins the hobby for losers who buy a detector with unrealistic expectations.

[@VintageFLA]

I agree, it’s fascinating to learn how these early settlers lived.

[@Eddygov1105]

I am fascinated with the finds from the colonial times. I can just imagine the shoe buckle on a colonial man's shoe! I wanted to let you know that I like the quick and efficient way you present your finds. No useless stuff.

[@michelebogle9279]

I agree. This dude shows what he finds right away instead of making a production out of it. I love the old finds to instead of the constant looking for gold and guns.

[@leonosbo]

though I had some problem with sea water It also kzbin.infoUgkxa-FNYUOM93a388gi9a4brtSCEVmrHgJH land for finding any things very easily. (thought it would work as normal due to it being water proof within certain parts of the detector), on dry land and sand worked well. My first one, so still have lots to learn

💡I looked it up, so I thought I’d share.😊 *Crotal bells* are various types of small bells or rattles. They were produced in various Pre-Columbian cultures. In Europe they were made from probably before the early Middle Ages and though many founders cast bells of this type, the Robert Wells bell foundry of Aldbourne, Wiltshire produced the largest range. Crotal bells, also known as rumble bells, were used on horse-drawn vehicles before motorised vehicles were common. They were often made of bronze with a slot cut down the side. These bells were used to warn other horse-drawn vehicle users (mostly on country roads) that another vehicle was approaching.

[@NavvyMom]

LovingAtlanta Yes! I'd never heard of crotal bells until a few months ago, when Jason over at Modern History TV did a video about them. Check him out if you haven't, especially if you like horses. He does some amazing stuff.

[@LovingAtlanta]

[@jacobreisser8034]

Interesting video. I do a lot of detecting in the UK, mostly Victorian, Georgian, medieval and viking artefacts. I'm lucky enough to live close to a few civil war sites in Somerset, also one of the main areas of Roman settlement. Plenty of silver, bronze and copper coins but I've only ever found two gold pieces, a Sovereign from 1876 and an 1802 Guinea. Still waiting for the Roman hoard, though a few have been found close to where I live. The largest was a few years ago near Frome, several hundred coins were dug up in a field. I live in hope!

[@mississippimud7046]

This is so cool ,I love the buttons you found .I have my grandmother's button collection the oldest is a homemade civil war button.

[@elenasimon1270]

My 5th, 4th and 3rd great-grandfathers lived in Campton, NH. During the revolutionary war. Josiah and Chiliab Brainerd were born in Haddam, CT, moved to Campton. Both fought in the war. Enoch Brainerd was born 1786 in Campton.

[@AdmiringEarth-lm5fh]

They are the strangest names I've ever heard. Chiliab? Was that a typo?

[@justdoingitjim7095]

I found the remains of an old log cabin in the Allegheny Mountains. Using my old Whites Coinmaster I found a broken pair of wire frame glasses, some lead musket balls, a rusted skinning knife with the handle missing and several square head nails. Nearby was their trash dump with loads of broken bottles, but none of them were intact.

[@Tugela60]

Was the person who lived there still lying in their bed?

[@deadhunterparanormal7821]

Yes , you need a spot on the History channel . A pleasure watching you find old stuff, the camera work all of it. Woohoo!

[@terryrussel3369]

How Exciting. We have a few colonial and early American sights around my town in W. PA. Years ago they excavated and rebuilt a small two-story stagecoach stop now called "The Old Stone House", built along a road that ran Pittsburgh to Erie, PA. I think that was in 1822. It was rebuilt using community donations in the 1960's and is now owned by Slippery Rock University.

[@suzannekosic4088]

Wow! Awesome finds in such a small space! I love the buckles. To find so many whole buckles in itself is amazing! My first time watching “Not Thursday” and I’ll be back!

[@VintageFLA]

That large Tomback button with the flower is gorgeous and it is in fantastic condition.

[@megb9700]

I grew up in the woods of NH and found sites like this with so many artifacts when a fire destroyed a family or some other disaster. Great finds! I’m curious about the historical side too.

[@williammathis2787]

Where in Nh

[@keithrayeski3147]

New subscriber. I am also in NH. My ancestors arrived here around 1637. All that was once part of a large kings grant, is now gone to the ages, like my ancestors. Sadly, I never got into the detecting so I have no idea what might still be in the ground around a couple of ancestral homesteads. If we’re still here a couple hundred years from now…our descendants will not know the thrill of finding things like this…with all the plastics and Velcro used today. 😁 Fun dig….like always, if only those relics could talk.

[@BradGryphonn]

I like watching these sorts of videos. It gives me comfort knowing that the dumps we created outback on 'ranches' will one day be someone's treasure.

[@m998hmmwv7]

Its a wonder they ever kept their clothes on with all those missing buttons and buckles lol

[@lordhelmet9066]

Dead bodies have a hard time keeping there clothes together most of everything found from that time was dropped by a dead man

like lots of people who lived in that time, their land is now govt land. might have had something to do with it.

The buckles and the flowered discs most likely belong to a horse bridle. The buckles look right and the discs look like bridle rosettes. Along with the uniform buttons, it appears you may have found the remains of a horse and rider 🤔

[@kymesue9575]

I keep freaking out everytime you stab the shovel into the ground. Breaking stuff as you go. Fun finds for sure!

[@timeforchange3786]

Amazing! Love it. I bet the family went to Tennessee or out west for new land. I know y'all don't like to give away where you search but it would be so cool to know some information on the people who owned the land. I have several ancestors who were prominent families in Virginia from the 1600s, with good reason to believe they came from Massachusetts. A few moved to Tennessee around 1815 after receiving land from the 1812 war. It would be so amazing to see their land searched.

[@bmh67wa]

I still find it amazing how many old buckles and buttons you find. One would think that people had a hard time keeping their clothes on back in the day.

[@Dog.soldier1950]

Clothes were expensive. Worn, passed down until they were rags

Some nice buttons and relics. Plus another shoe buckle brought to completion. HH and be well

It must feel absolutely wonderful to find an unknown site and find a dozen relics from just one part of the whole site Charlie. I love the shape of the pewter spoon bowl, and the two pieces of the buckle not forgetting the other buckles and the buttons. I'm looking forward to seeing what else you find next and I hope I remember to keep an eye out for tomorrow's episode (my memory is awful lol).

Do you ever detect near ports or river ports? I live down in Maryland right near the old Port Tobacco. The first silver coin I ever found here was a 1545 1 reale from Mexico City Mint! In great shape/ holed. Still blows my mind today. At was buried in the river sand for who knows how long yet you can still read 90% of it. I found a few large cents here and there a well.

[@Chris_at_Home]

I grew up in Eastern Connecticut in the 50s and 60s. and there were old foundations all over. I was back there ten years ago and took a friend with his metal detector and he had luck. As a kid I remember my dad finding a 1612 English Half Penny digging in the garden. At first he thought it was a metal slug from an electrical box. The house was build next to a very old road. The town was incorporated in 1708. We had a cabin in the NE Kingdom of Vt and I remember finding old dumps with bottles made the old ways out in the woods.

When I was in 9th grade I used to go metal detecting with my best friend. The detector was his and i would just tag along. We lived in an area where there were Civil War army camps and battles. He would find bullets and buttons, but not much else. One time he let me operate the detector and within minutes I got a hit. Dug up a complete brass shoulder board that only had a slight dent in it. He immediately took the detector from me and never let me handle it again.

[@hannakinn]

Your finding all those buckles and buttons made me think that the house may have burned down or the people passed away and the place was abandoned. My grandparents were born in 1900 on their Farm my grandmother always kept the buttons off of any item of clothing, she had jars of buttons she'd saved. The fabric from clothing went to make quilts after the clothing was no longer useful as clothing. My grandmother saved every button and buckle off any item of clothing or accessory. It seems unlikely that the family on that site would've simply thrown away clothing with buttons still attached. Even wealthy families would've given clothing to less fortunate people or to slaves if they had any. Tough time in history but it's what happened.
