A long abandoned colonial site on the side of a mountain surprised me today while metal detecting. First of all the hike in was rough ! it took almost one hour to walk just over a mile. You have to see the conditions to believe it. When got there I turned on my Fisher F19 and started detecting. I found a couple of pewter buttons which is great and kind of what I expected. This site has been deserted so long and everything found digging here before has been pretty much 1700s relics like Tombac and pewter buttons. I was the shocked to dig up a small copper coin. Looks like a British half penny or something but in such bad condition I really couldn't ID the coin. Then the big shock when I got a mid tone button signal and out comes a civil war eagle button. A 2 piece eagle with the I in the shield for infantry. What the hell is that doing here? wow ! I have not dug one thing from the mid 1800s at this location before but I am glad I did today. You never know with the history of these old New England farms and who ay have been here after the farm was abandoned. The landscape history definitely show that people did not live here long and this location has never been mapped.

Nice finds! Bushwacking into spots like this is tough. I do use my machete some when the going gets bad. My new Nox 900 has cam locks on the shaft so it slided up short - makes it easier to get through brush. I rechecked a colonial site near my home and found a .44 sharps cartridge with the double rim strike. This gun was used at the tail end of the Civil War - some later found their way to Nova Scotia - I have found a few of these cases with the new detector.

People did a lot of walking back in the day to get where they were going! Some soldier just heading home camping along the way, lost his button! I like stories!

In 1939 the US did a survey and found that there were about 246 thousand miles of stone walls. 240 thousand were in New England. By 1800's the Europeans had cleared about 75% of New England. Deforested for building, fences and heating. Imagine how different it must have looked. Fields and mountains with just stumps and rock walls.

I think that lady's name is Brittany or something, she's holding an OXEN prod and probably a stalk of corn, maybe,.. I think. It got less confusing when they just put the "ONE CENT" logo on the back 😂. GREAT VID, GREAT FINDS! I wish you a future filled with things, stuff, and otherwise awesome what-cha-ma-call its! I'm in historic Oxford GA (home) and presently headed across the road to hunt the park. Thanks for your relentless searching and posts ❤

Charley, I've been watching and enjoying your videos for quite some time now. I've seen you fight your way thru all the heavy growth many a time. On that note, may I make a suggestion ? May I suggest that you get yourself a machete to keep in your backpack ? That way when you have to fight your way thru all the thick heavy bushes and vines you can take the machete out and chop your way thru it all. Just a thought.

Maybe it was a “deserter” civil war soldier who went up to the woods to hide. Found the old structure imprint and camped there. Never know man. Makes your mind wonder. One of my favorite things about this hobby.

That civil war button is a infantry because it has the capital I in the middle of the shield !

@connorsrelicsandtreasures9862 22 күн бұрын

I wonder if a civil war veteran was living here on the property and may have become a farmer and he may have dropped stuff while he was working on the farm.

@krockpotbroccoli65 17 күн бұрын

Or he got home from the war and was out hunting years later with his tattered old civil war jacket on and just happened to lose a button on top of a colonial homesite he didn't even know about.
