A compilation of all 6 days we spent exploring, metal detecting and discovering lost places from the past in this huge NH forest that we call the Abyss. It all started out with a day of hiking and finding an ancient stone bridge hundreds of years old that lead to a wagon trail. Using metal detectors as we searched out this are knowing very well that people were out here working, living and settling. These sites go back to the 1700s and were in use or populated up until the mid 1800s. With all the searching and following the cart paths and reading the land we found a site that had no cellar hole but with the metal detectors we found nail iron in the ground. We ended up spending days there digging up artifacts from the 1700s and 1800s but still could not figure the site out. Oh yeah , we don't want to forget the black bear that walked up on us after digging that 200 year old coin....whoa! A lot of what brought us into the are was using old top maps that showed two structures along the river back in the early 1900s. We assume they were loggers camps being that was about the era the area had been logged but never found the location. An amazing experience finding sites that have never been mapped before and proof of people living out here.

You keep saying that the land is not good, but we'll say 200 years ago there were probably no trees on that land to speak of. They probably used that land for cattle, so it didn't matter what the land was.

@bobjones8372

Roughly 70% of the East was cleared farmland, 150 years ago, now it's 70% overgrown forest most of them are filled with old homesteads, roads, and even whole towns.

@Relicgarden

I’m really diggin your channel, I love the fact you don’t go hunting with the latest greatest most expensive gear on the market. Yet you still have the capability in hand to detect the items your in search of, nice. All my favorite videos are hunts with you and Dane involved. Great blue collar working man’s video’s containing detectors and accessories the average dude can afford and obtain without taking out a bank loan. Hittin the like button on all your vids keep goin guys!.

@maraengelson5799

Could the day 4 bear area be an old moonshine area? You've got water, a Mason jar and people hanging out making music in a remote area... maybe a bell trip line warning...it could've been a generational production area.

@Bassfishingthefingerlakes

Well in New York where I’m from the military put up the stone it’s hundred acre parcels giving to the military guys French American Indian war when the natives where defeated the land was giving to the soldiers a lot to them never came to get there piece and some did. And put up saw mills and farmed it like where I from there was 45 saw mills at the height of clearing hope it helps

@tedc7714

Those places were abandoned in the depression. People could not pay taxes or the bank....

@ducksauce1290

That button that left that impression in the metal. That metal wasn't lead was it? Somebody got shot, or was shooting buttons maybe.😲

@Barber1979

That wasn't a knife, that was a late 1700's early 1800's straight razor, stubby tang

@philh664

Loggers durring that time would have clear cut. Igf you look all the trees are small. So you could be in a farm field. Ground got bad and people left for fresh dirt

The Crotal bell and the Jews Harp is 1700's Very well done. Thanks.

@Dopa-MiningFam

Just a thought - if you take pictures of each item in situ and have an apple phone with the location tagging option enabled you can then look at where each item is in relation to the gps map to kind of create a visual of where the dwelling may have been

@DetectaBull

Not Thursday The Movie. Awesome is all I have to say. Can't wait to get the movie merchandise like the Charlie & Dame action figures with the star wars smell from 1977 😁

@damoose1829

Thank you Charlie and Dame. Great video. Like the long videos. Spent 3 days watching. I have acquired two Fisher F19's with two coils and hope I have as much luck as you all did here. I hunt very similar terrain in Western NY and a old map helps But if not available or 🤔 🧐🧐🤔🤔🤨🤨😉😉🤪😝

@cherisurdahl9791

If you look up old old pics of NH, you see it was open in places where it now looks fully grown up and grown in. Mother Nature takes back areas quicker than we think she can.

@tg242ovlov

As soon as you said action figure smell I thought of a Tie fighter pilot 😂

@dhankins51

such an interesting place and diverse finds! Great job Charlie and Dame

@davidlacey146

There may have been a rough cabin/hut where an outcast type lived, a helper during haying, wood cuttingand other tasks on the nearby farm that were extremely labor intensive and an extra hand would be helpful, preferably one that could be paid in rum. Almost everything you found supports this picture. The one item that is an exception is the tiny knob from a lady's hatpin.

@goldendredger

It would be amazing to find an old logger that logged this area still alive. And could do a little hiking to get out with you and tell some stories of what they saw in the the area while logging. Heck even if to old to hike out just able to look at a map and tell you what they remember.

@kevinshowers6477

Dame has the right idea on finding early round nail to see what time period. You find iron signals dig one to see what kind of nails they are for time period. The Jews harp my Grandfather gave me one like the one Dame found Circa 1920's. Awesome finds Charlie. It is like a jigsaw puzzle finding the missing pieces..
