Hidden For Centuries! - Metal Detecting a 1700’s Homestead For Coins & Relics Lost Ages Ago!

As we driving back from one metal detecting spot, Doug happened to see this old house tucked backed off the road. It was clearly built in at least the mid 1800s but with no research done this was simply a stop on a whim. After talking to the homeowner and getting permission, we found that the house was built actually 100 years earlier than we guessed, way back around the early 1700s and she owned acres and acres of land surrounding it. Now most of this land is planted with hay, including the spot where the original homestead was, but there is enough room around the big house to keep us busy for an impromptu hunt!
If you'd like to join Doug and I at any of the mentioned upcoming metal detecting group hunts, here are links to the ones we're attending so far:

I don't know if it was ever a thing to do with lead plate, but that lead square on a loop of string reminds me of the thing that hangs down on a wind chime, or maybe something similar that might have been used to try to keep birds away

In the early colonial times German settlers did a practice for good luck, like the horse shoe over the front door. They would bury a small cache of coins in each cardinal direction away from the house. While building the house they would often place a cache in the masonry over the front door.

The plaque you noticed on the side of the house appears to be an apotropaic marker (symbols of protection to ward off witches/evil, so-on, so forth) given the age of the house. But I could be mistaken.

Hats off to you guys and all other humans that work extremely hard to literally find and exhume history from under our feet! I absolutely love history and the hidden stories that it holds just waiting for someone such as yourselves to unearth it from the dirt! You guys are doing a wonderful thing by digging up artifacts that were once lost to time and learning about them and teaching others about what life was like for those brave and courageous humans that lived through some of the toughest times throughout the history of our country and other countries around the world! So again,I tip my hat to you amazing humans for just doing what you do! Never stop being you and digging up the past to learn and teach about what it was like to live in "ye olden times"! Great content and as always,Keep on keepin on my friends!😊

1:02 mark, the first item could be a chit of some sort. I don't know what state you are in but slaves and indentured servants had chits to travel to towns and other plantations or homes. At the 8:15 mark, that smooth disk could be a part of a steam valve used as a burst valve.
