Metal Detecting An Old Homestead

Ойын-сауық

Here I return to the old well I found last year and explore the homestead with a metal detector. I find several old coins, buttons, tools, pottery and may other interesting artifacts of the years gone by.

    Killer hunt. Love the old home sites. Seldom find them any earlier than the early 1800's around this area of TN. I have been in several virgin home sties from the early 1800's (little ghost town) near where I live and get tons of flat buttons, but can't buy a coin from the period. Lots of pewter as well. Anyway, another great vid. Enjoy, and look forward to each. HH

    Nice finds! Say I finally got around to getting my fathers old Metal detector made in the 1970's a Whites Gold Master Metal Detector back up and working. The thing has 2 battery packs in there one for 2 x 4 and the other a 2 x 3 with nine volt connectors and such. I had to get both the battery packs replaced, and put on a couple of new 9 volt battery snaps on it. Now the thing works nicely.

And heck, what a great mosaic table top you could have made from those chips and it would make a wonderful conversation piece about your adventures!!! Something to treasure and hand down through the generations.!!!

    I got my first metal detector at Christmas and finally got the chance to use it a few days ago. (I was so excited) I watch tonnes of videos of detecting on beaches and knew this was my turn to find some goods. At the end of a 3 hour walk up and down the towel line I came back with a battery, 12 rusty nails and 3 bottle caps. Sadly I wont be posting my finds on KZread :(

    Thanks, for the ad, my first day out yesterday, I found oyster shell, what looks like bone , one several delepatetated penny, looks steel, but is missing where date should be,, I found out very little history of the area so far,, mostly a wide range of Indian territory near Nashiminy creek, I am focusing on a patch of woods, near there, but it seems it was a dump site in the 60's !and 70's. So shredded foil is killing the batteries and still don't understand, this Bounty hunter metal detector, Hay thanks again..happy hunting.

    I have a pile of pottery pieces laying ii my front yard now. The ground has frozen so I have to wait t get back out there with my new Garrett ACE 350. I originally found the spot with my Old Garrett Gold Scorpion. I want to get back to South Dakota to get the pottery chips in a lake. At one time the lake was a big tourist location. The pieces I found were old Chinese stuff with Oriental types of figures on them. I also want to get permission to go on my Grandpa's old homestead. I have one old ice skate from that location. There is also my baby cousin is buried there. I want to place some type of headstone there. It is to bad the old log cabin on the river is now under water. Besides my Dad and Grandparents living there the Lewis and Clark expedition camped there. That is another whole story in it self.
