We Got ‘Em! - Metal Detecting Colonial House Neighbors and Finds 1700’s Coins, Old Silver, & More!

Several years ago I got permission to hunt some large Colonial Farms that butted right up against the Delaware River. I went back to these fields several times and always managed to pull some awesome period coins and relics. Next to these fields are 2 large1700's houses but at the time I never got access to the yards but I always thought they would be packed full of incredible finds. Fast forward 7 years later and as it turns out Doug's cousin happened to purchase one of these 2 old Colonial houses and is quite friendly with the neighbor of the second house. So off we go to metal detect the grounds after so many years of waiting and man-oh-man was it worth the wait!
We also invited our friend Merrill (KZbin - Metal Detecting NYC) to come down and join us. I always liked his style and have been meaning to get together with him for the longest time and what better place than this! With 5 detectorists and 2 large properties this will be a multi-part video but hold on to your hats and each video will have some incredible coins, silver, awesome relics, and one will even have some GOLD!

It was such a thrill digging with the Quarter Hoarder crew! What an incredible day! And I learned that planting banana trees really does change the course of the universe! 😊

[@michelereed5894]

I saw Merrill on Nicola White’s KZbin video a few months ago when Nicola visited the USA from England. Merrill had taken Nicola to Dead Horse Bay in NY. It was a fascinating hunt on an unusual shoreline. I have to say, Merrill couldn’t have been nicer to Nicola. He was very knowledgeable and informative. I hope he had a successful hunt with you guys in PA!

[@trolltaker]

Same here! I saw that video too.

[@KayInMaine]

Oh yeah! I remember who he is now. I watch Nicola's channel too. :D

[@eoysny7781]

Merrill is such a great addition to the crew!!

George Washington was born on February 22, 1732. That coin pre-dates George Washington, amazing!

I was born in 1949, so that even predates me! 🤣

Merrel was a great addition to this video. I’ve watched a lot of his KZbin videos, good man. Great finds and great hunt. Keep poppin.

AWESOME! Richy Rich is knocking it out of the park as a novice. You should spend a few minutes at the beginning of the show giving water bottle lessons to Doug...... That would be funny. You could line some targets up around your rig and get a free car wash.

[@maxsands3861]

WTG Rich your coin IS older than George he was born in 1732 AWESOME! Not to mention an incredible coin spill and then a reale. Today was your day!

[@billhare]

Yup! Though on the actual day he was born, it would have been February 11, 1731 - according to George’s parents and everyone in the colonies as well as England and other countries still using the Julian calendar. His birthday of February 22, 1732 is ALSO the correct date, adjusting from after the 1752 calendar change. Moving new year from March 25 to January 1st, and removing 11 days from the September calendar had to be a shock to the system of anyone whose life ran over that 1752 line!

[@michaelwest5072]

Your hunts never disappoint!! Looking forward to the next one.

[@stevenstark9017]

Another great video guys. Congrats to Rich finding his first 1783 1/2 reale & Jason's KGll, Matt's 1812 button. Even Doug's little silver feather charm

[@granddad-mv5ef]

Doug, that charm is a quill. I am thinking the owner was probably a newspaper reporter or possibly an author. Rich, you must be gifted! Just incredible. AGAIN I can't wait for the next episode.

[@jeanponce2017]

I thought it was a quill also. They're not far from center city Philly. In the back of the Ben Franklin house there is Franklin court that leads to another early stone home called Carpenters Hall. I went inside to see everything and they sold souvenirs that were reproductions of colonial artifacts like coins, skeleton keys, candles and quill pens. I saw a silver quill charm darn near exactly like that one. When I was leaving outside on the cobblestone carriage road I saw some money. I thought it was some souvenir of early paper currency that someone bought and dropped it walking away because they were almost new but folded in half. As I picked it up and unfolded them it was 4 $100 dollar bills. That was when the brand new big head bills just came out so I didn't recognize it until I looked it over. That was one lucky day. After that we detected a park near a house Washington rented while in Philly and the finds were amazing. Some guy we didn't know was also detecting pulled out a french gold coin about the size of our $10 gold eagles are. He was so pumped or scared lol IDK but he was gone in 3 minutes after cleaning it. I used to kill that park until it became part of the Fairmount park system then we got kicked out. I miss those good old days. And that was before detectors were as good as they are today so who knows what's still there. It's between the old mint and Betsy Ross house they are all within a 3 block area. Now it's all tourist attractions selling copies of the Declaration of Independence and quill pens. But yeah I think you nailed it it's a quill pen charm. There were other charms like the skeleton key, a paper scroll, the liberty bell, an Eagle and a candle in a candle holder that you can build your own bracelet with which ever charms you want to add. Each piece was sterling silver And there was a small cannon charm I almost forgot. My money is it came from there the place is next to the site of where the liberty bell used to be I'm sure everyone from the area has been there several times. Ben Franklin's buried tomb is there with an opening in the stone wall for people to see it. Philly is my favorite city with the culture and the preserved buildings and incredible detecting if you can find a legal spot to hit now. I get chills seeing these sites on the Delaware because militia and red coats walked everyone of those streets and there's forts right on the water. That's a great site the water area is going to produce killer finds. I'm predicting it now before they come and hunt it. They'll dig plenty of musket balls watch?

[@granddad-mv5ef]

That woods Hibernia was in incredible shape and to dig a kg2 all toasted after is a shame and I was certain he had a standing liberty or another barber quarter.
