Up From the Depths! - Metal Detecting an Old Colonial Town RICH with American Revolutionary History!
Ойын-сауық
This week we are heading back to Bordentown New Jersey to metal detect an old home that sits at the southern entrance of this historic city. Joining the group are the current property owners along with some members of the local historical society in hopes to find lost pieces of everyday life from throughout its storied history!
Bordentown boasts a rich history that dates back to its founding in 1682 by English Quaker Thomas Farnsworth. Initially known as Farnsworth’s Landing, the town emerged as a significant river port along the Delaware River. By the mid-18th century, it had grown into a bustling hub for trade and transportation, benefiting from its strategic location between Philadelphia and New York City. During the American Revolution this town was set ablaze by British soldiers on more than one occasion but the several of the stone buildings survived, even through to modern day. Many notable Patriots called Bordentown home, like Francis Hopkinson, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, and Thomas Paine, an influential political philosopher. Also several artisons like Patience Wright and then her son Joseph Wright who design some of America's earliest coins. In 1837, the Bordentown Female College was established, one of the earliest institutions for higher education for women in the United States. The city also has the first free public school in the state, started by American Red Cross founder Clara Barton. So much history for only a small one square mile area, but hopefully through our detecting we can help add to their story!

I love that the neighbors and members of the Historical society stopped in for a swing of the coil.
The best part of that hunt were all the nice people you got to meet! The homeowners are a class act.✌️
Angela was a delight! I'm always impressed by people that have a knack for saying the right things at the right times. Angela & Jason could host their own talk show!

Thanks. It’s not often we get so many residents to join us but I really enjoy the days it does happen!
What a nice family and permission for you guys. Love when home owners are excited to see what’s in their yards.
Great to see everyone come together and make some wonderful finds with wonderful company! swing on!
The "Rich Silver Baron" continues to mine silver!
The narration at the beginning of this video sounded very professional. You should do more of this.

Thank you. It’s not my normal wheelhouse but I do plan on doing more of that going forward. It’s just sets a better tone for why we go where we go.
This is so fascinating and entertaining. Truly promotes the hobby. Funny crew as well.
What a brilliant intro! Bordentown is such a special place steeped in history. Really puts our findings of the day into context. Thanks to your team, we now know our yard is an amazing time capsule. Thank you, QuarterHoarder and Crew! You guys rock.

Half the town came out for this one and they were all great people. I’m hoping for more days like this throughout the summer!
Jason, I really enjoyed the history intro. I look forward to more of these in the future!
I particularly enjoyed your intro with some of the history of Bordentown. I lived in Annapolis for 25 years, the pre-Revolutionary history is very deep. Whenever you are in a town like that, I think most of your viewers are interested.
Enjoyed the video! You know we love those silver coins, haha. Take care!
Hey guys another great video! The car keys you found with a pegasus on it was probably sponsored by Mobil oil for a Ford vehicle but I also know the Porsche 356 also had a pegasus on the key incidentally that is the same model of Porsche that James Dean was killed in! keep on keeping on fellow detectorists
Great community! Great people! Good times! ♥
Excellent hosts! I expected older stuff because of the town's history predating the home, but maybe Benjamin Franklin was there saving his pennies? Fun fact with those old silver coins - stack $1.40 face value in any denominational sequence and you have a troy ounce. That's $29.11 at the time of this writing.
Great hunt guys, Rich is a silver magnet. Love Bordentown
Rich had a great day. Stay hydrated friends. God bless you
Thats a fun dream hunt with friends and shows how great this hobby can be. Thanks, QH.
Great finds for everyone. Wish all home owners/city people were like this to metal detecting.
Because of this HISTORY... THIS IS IMHO THE GREATEST VIDEO YOU'VE EVER DONE!!!!

Thanks for speaking at our club meeting here in idaho tonight! So awesome!
Such nice people. Nice day, and digs.❤
The neighbors were cool !!!
Het Rich great silver finds.
Just learned this myself about 1960 (my birth year) dimes. Denver strikes had a repunched mint mark variety worth $20 in XF condition. Two vertical lines visible in the center void of the “D”. Nothing key but a keeper nonetheless Rich keep killing it. Team of champions. Most excellent historical intro QH!
Best dirt fishing shows ever
Best video intro ever!
What nice homeowners!
I’ll be retiring in December and after following this channel for quite some time, I’m fully interested in getting into the metal detecting hobby. Thanks for the great content!!!
Top notch QH crew & company!! Always a wonderful adventure!!
Nice intro and nice group of people.
Loved the history section at the beginning, but makes me a bit sad as it was independence from Britain, my origins. We don't hold grudges though 😃 16:42 looks like a ladies cardigan button, a larger hole in the shank for wool thread. What a wonderful hunt in that lovely historical house. See you Thursday.
What an amazing little town. So many potential treasures!! I can’t wait to see what you all find next.❤
What an awesome family. Great video guys looking forward to Thursday.
See you Thursday thanks
“Pamphleteer” is a new word for me and I look forward to using it this week in as many ways possible. Thank you

Wow,had no idea Bordentown NJ had so much early history.
You guys have more find! And some awesome finds!
What a great hunt! That’s the great part of this hobby even if the finds hadn’t been good, the camaraderie is what counts
Nice find that knife looks like a Buck110 they are well sought out for.
Great hunt again. Nice job on all the finds.
Awesome finds everyone. Talking about the Barber Dime I recently found a 1897 “O” mint Barber Dime with a montage of 666,000. It’s in rough condition but after figuring out what it was and what the mintage was I was pretty stoked. Especially since it was my first Barber dime I’ve found.
Thanks for all the history of the area you are hunting!! Nice
Awsome finds guys congrats on all the great silver coins
Excellent video thank you for sharing this six stars
Love watching yall!!
Fun to see the homeowners get involved. Great video
