SILVER FOUND! But will Cathy find a Marble? Metal Detecting Coins & Relics at the Old Farm House.

The river is RECORD HIGH for this time of year, so we've gone back to the old farm (ca.1800) to do some metal detecting. It was the right choice! Some nice finds! (and a few mysteries...maybe you can help us solve them?)
Two days at the same location.
We would prefer to be in the river, but it's about 4 ft too deep right now : (
Wish we could send all this rain to those who need it!
Hope you enjoy the video!
Cathy & Drew

Blueberries, awesome!! Thank you for sharing your digs

[@patriciasullivan7967]

Cathy love your live digs.Metal detecting is our favorite thing to do. Nice finds👍

[@massriverpickers]

Hi Patricia, You're on a video binge today! Glad you like the metal detecting. I still like the river better, but metal detecting is right up there too. Our river is over my head now🙄☔(in places) That's why we're not out there. July is usually one of our best months in the river. I went out detecting today.. found something quite unexpected, for a farm find, in July. (You'll have to wait and see. Lol) -Cathy

Thanks for sharing in my joy! -Cathy 😃

[@kathisease9924]

Wow those blue berries look amazing:D Love the coins and of course the marble, "we can go home now..."

[@angelamillard6418]

Cathy, you are the only person who could find a marble with a metal detector! Those blueberries look yummy!

[@sherrydeken5956]

Nice video guys and those blueberries look scrumptious.

[@karynbrown7519]

I love the big hand forged square nails!

[@massriverpickers]

Hi Karyn! Thanks for commenting on the square nails! They really are some of the oldest finds, and hand forged. Not sure the bent one was supposed to look like a seahorse though! 😄 -Cathy

[@amandabell8827]

Fun video, so happy you found a marble! I won't be around for the next few weeks as I am going on holiday with my family to celebrate my 60th birthday but I will catch up once I get back. Those blueberry's look delicious! 😋 x

[@massriverpickers]

Hi Amanda, Thank you for telling me you're going away... I'd have worried otherwise! I so enjoy our little comment exchange each week. And HAPPY BIRTHDAY! 🎂🎉🎈💖😃👍 Perhaps by then we'll be back in the river. (I hope) Glad you enjoyed the video. I STILL found a marble! Can you believe it? Too funny! Enjoy your holiday! 🌞- Cathy

@@massriverpickers Thanks Cathy! see you in a few weeks 😁 x

[@cynthiaswearingen1037]

Cathy, I'm not sure about most of your UFOs, but the first one is a lantern part. Awesome Barber dime and a beautiful old marble! Very nice blueberries!!!💖

[@massriverpickers]

Hi Cynthia, Thank you! It does look like a lantern or lamp part. Quite pleased with the dime and marble! Definitely going back for more blueberries! -Cathy😋

[@digginthepast1235]

Unidentified things , I'm going say oil lamp part , some peice of hardware , and a maple syrup tap . Great find on the silver good for you .

[@massriverpickers]

Thanks Kevin! Only the second Barber dime I've ever found. Yes, lamp part sounds right. I'm researching "tree taps" now... I hadn't thought of that! Thanks again! -Cathy

[@MrMadfarmer]

I am so amazed you found a marble when you were metal detecting. Here in Manitoba and the rest of Western Canada we would take every drop of water you do want to get rid of Cathy . Are you going to make pie out of the Blueberries for Drew it would taste so good Cathy...

[@massriverpickers]

Hi Randy! I can't believe I found that marble, metal detecting! I was meant to have it! (Here comes more rain 😦☔) Blueberry pie and pancakes in our future!

[@danafredrickson42]

That's the top piece of an oil lamp and it smashed down the wick goes through that square flat part

[@bruceritchie4382]

When you first said ox shoe, ( I thought God bless you from a sneeze ) I have never heard of an ox shoe. Your hands must be wicked tiny, cause a few of those blueberries looked to be the size of a plum. You can always be guaranteed to find more trash when metal detecting, then the good stuff. It's how I got into bottle digging. your area looks so serene and comfy. The deep woods of Mass. I love it. Was Drew standing next to the oven : ) Yummy. Thanks for such a wonderful day out in the country

[@massriverpickers]

Hi Bruce, It's both.. I have small hands but those are the biggest blueberries I've ever seen! They are not wild.. my Dad planted rows and rows of them years ago. They are the size of a nickel (or a little larger, some of them) We went back again.. more finds and more blueberries. I will put that vid up next month, as I found something Chritmasy in the ground! Can you believe I found a marble while metal detecting?!😃 Ox shoes: very common farm finds.. Do you watch @stealth diggers? They find lots of them: They call them pork chops Lol because of the shape. Oxen have cloven hooves, so they need two shoes per foot.

[@bruceritchie4382]

@@massriverpickers Apples, pears, grapes, blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, rhubarb, all the fruits of New England. I asked my younger brother Randy ( 60 ) if he had ever heard of ox shoes and he indicated no. I thought they looked like a pear cut in half. If that was your dads property, it was beautiful. It reminded me of where I grew up🐂

[@massriverpickers]

Yes, my Dad's property. He also planted an apple orchard, pears, and peaches. It's a beautiful place, 3 out of 4 seasons. Winters are brutal. Yes, out in the woods. LOTS of woods. The house dates around 1800 or so. The ox shoes could be civil war era or even earlier, I'm not sure.. but your brother is definitely not old enough to remember the ones I'm digging up! -Cathy😁🐃

[@danafredrickson42]

The first one is a top to an oil lamp in the wick goes down inside in that bottom square piece got flattened but that's where the wick goes through. 👍 on the silvers!!! Sorry the only one I know is that first one

[@massriverpickers]

Thanks Dana!😊
