NEW! Detecting Colonial Stagecoach Stop Relics,"Diggin New England" T2

[cougarjim1]

I like your videos and your T2 inspired me to buy one. I have about six stage coach stops near where I live in Oregon. I have used other Machines on some of them. Now I will try the T2. Thanks for the videos. Maybe you could give me some tips on the tone settings?

[danthman114]

that second button still had the cloth on it!

[jamielinda1]

you sound like john Wayne pilgrim

[Shengah35]

you guys are funny and maybe too serious..let the poor guy have fun and make his vids they way he wants, I really dont understand why people feel the need to bash people. He never said he was the best relic hunter. Hes just having fun and sharing his finds with who might be interested.

[HollyTNUSA]

Love your accent! Southern Dirt Fishing Lady doesnt hear that often!

[treeman610]

I love that you used Dee in this vid,You must be a fan of Randy R.

[SHNewEngland]

@treeman610 Yes,80's metal.....that was my era. Thanks for noticing what song it was.

[HitOrMissEtc]

That tool looks like the thing a farrier would use to clean a hoof before shoeing/trimming an ox or horse. Might explain the ox shoes being around it.

[WARFOX101]

I have a good Internet bud who lives north of Boston, Andrew H. He hunts old sellers from old farm sites that have since grown up by the woods. He once found a two hundred year old gold ring made by a jeweler who is still in business today. Great finds man love watching your vid.

[lostnflorida]

Good finds..my brother lives in Ct. and was doing some gardening in the back yard..found a cannon ball from the Revolutionary War.

[WoodlandDetectors]

Another great video Bill!

[IgnitingTheSnowflake]

That tool at 8:33 looks like a lockpick to me. Anyways, cool video.

[nosebleed420]

he kinda looks like slingblade...biscuits and mustard, mmmhhhmm lmfao

[nosebleed420]

lol this dude better be carefulm he might find the bodies of the people he kills. he looks like a serial killer for sure

[shnazer1]

I soak relics overnight in vinegar 

[planetrockford]

Interesting video.

[TheBill2468]

all you signals are in spots with no dead leves as if you buried things to record

[SHNewEngland]

@TheBill2468 Obviously you have no clue whatsoever how relic hunting works or you'd know everyone uses a foot to clear the leaves away to try to get a better reading. Plus, you don't listen- @ 5:42 I call it a "clear off". Besides, if I was to ever plant something, it would be Spanish silver & gold- not a rusty hoe, 2 flat buttons and an ox shoe.....

[JBernard79]

@TheBill2468 I don't understand why guys like you have to leave dumb comments like this. Personally I like to see people find stuff, rather see someone else find it than have it rot in the ground. I guess clowns like you are just bitter, probably swinging an Ace 250 and finding memorial pennies all day.

[75tm400]

Some of the nicest stuff I have found was without my metal detector. Just find an old dump and start diggen.

[robertricketts]

The iron hook looks like Scythe blade handles I've found down here in Virginia.

[darylmac4]

Hi Bud, good vid's keep them coming. The one relic looks like a Raine loop from a coach.

[oldcoon2]

Interesting finds. Nothing quite like colonial relics.

[dosghost1]

that would be a hoof pick for a houses hilt it has not changed much sense then, good find if restored

[nuggetnoggin]

AWESOME VIDEO, awesome hunt, this make me want to see the DVD more.

[riverrunner814]

Hi the hooked pick you found looks like a horse hoof pick. I used a tool similer to it on my horses

[WITCHDOG]

Very nice iron finds but that brass shoe buckle was real nice. please check out my finds of 2009 and see what you think of them. Happy hunting for this coming year.

[RecoveringRelics]

Cool finds Bill! What is electolysis? Hope to see more come from this site!

[SHNewEngland]

I use a battery charger to remove the rust & preserve the iron relics we find. Otherwise they continue to rust away.....

[manner1232]

@SHNewEngland Can you do a "How To Video" on how you do electolysis?

[Rocknranchman]

That hook like artifact might be a horse hoof scraper I know that they had to maintain them horses! Great find!

[Rocknranchman]

Happy relic and coin finding new years to you! Great video! I know many use those army surplus shovels to break ground -but it sure seems like you might want to inter a target site a little more gently. I know many have damaged artifacts like old coins and so forth. Something to consider! HH and God Bless

[derek7521]

Mr Ladd I'm reasonably certain your 'iron 'hook' relic at 8:22 is a spike tomahawk. A very nice one at that ! I've dug a few in my day in upstate NY.LOL @ "hunted out" ...no place is hunted out , not even the sites I've hunted ! I enjoy your vid's and I know your no beginner but plz carry a bottle of water with ya to rinse off your buttons and coins. Or find a puddle of water. My bud would have rubbed dirt off a 1797 1/2 dime I dug if it hadn't been for my ear piercing girly scream !

D.

[icollectstuffdude]

Love the last button! Great video.

[robbiebrainard]

mettafirerescue,,,,, is way out of line, HE Does not know what he is talking about. He is nobody. Go get a life loser!!!!!

[metaldetector101]

do you live in pa? i think  i know u i am not a psycho don't worry

[artifactman660]

this comment is for metta, if hes on private ground and has permission whats that to you? its laying there in the ground, would prob. never have been recovered now its out of the ground where it will be cared for. and who cares if he sells it. its the USA where we have the right to do this! dont watch if you dont like it, think before you talk,tool!!!

[artifactman660]

cool video,what kind of detector do you have?

[SHNewEngland]

I have many detectors....using a Teknetics T2 here. Thanks for watching.

[piecartbox]

You ever detect the Lexington area?

[SHNewEngland]

I have not yet....I thought I heard they don't like detecting in that area? Privite property probably OK?

[pontilboy]

Hey Bill great job! Don't let the bastards get you down :)

The mindset of most of the detractors is just unbelievable. People would rather see stuff buried and gone, stuck under a cheap new "McMansion" than in the hands of us grubs. Screw 'em! BTW Louie's checking into the "field" :)

[RelicHuntersJournal]

Hey Ladd, great video!

I thought you were dead? LOL

[SHNewEngland]

Back from the dead....to rile up the archie-types! :)

[MettaFireRescue]

Does the 'SH' in "SHNewEngland" stand for "Saving History" or "STEALING History"? I hope you get arrested for trespassing and/or theft. Hopefully you havent sold/auctioned enough to make bail... THIEF!

[SHNewEngland]

Typical Archie response. Take the time to read- "Private property with permission" before you label someone a thief. I suppose we should leave it all in the ground to rot away? Sorry, nothing gets sold, instead I bring items I "save" to schools to help teach kids history....something an archie never does.

[fledoux62]

Why do you label him a thief? These items were recovered from private property WITH permission.

In Va I recover lots of CW artifacts the same way. Many are camps and are vanishing due to development. These are things that would be lost for good if it wasnt for relic hunters.

[fledoux62]

Also many books on Artifacts, Civil War artifacts in particular, were written BY relic hunters, many of these individuals were the ones that identified previously unidentified relics, books by Howard Crouch, Sid Kerksis Steven Sylvia Mike Odonnell Bill Gavin Alphaeus Albert, and many others Seems many Archies think it belongs to THEM only

We dont need big grant money either Contrary to what some people believe, we are not looters or thieves. Some are, but the majority are law abiding

[libsbite]

Does the "Metta" in "MettaFireRescue" mean that you're another wanna be fire fighter that couldn't get past the Academy basics? Before you begin labeling others as a "thief", maybe you should get your facts straight and stop making ASS-U-MEing that someone is stealing history because they enjoy the hobby of relic hunting. Hopefully you will pass the next round in the fire academy.

[MettaFireRescue]

Speaking of getting "facts straight": I'm the Chief of an ISO-rated Class 1 (look it up) fire department in the Southwestern US. I dont have a problem with 'relic hunters', I have a problem with people stealing historical artifacts and thinking "finders-keepers" is a legal position. If you really, truly care about history then give them to museums or schools. Dont sell them, dont auction them off, dont keep/steal them. Theyre not yours. They belong to the community. What is an "Archie"?

[SHNewEngland]

OK, Chief. Unfortunately you choose the wrong guy to try to make an example of with alot of assumptions. Like I sell everything. The "community" is not doing a thing but covering the stuff with strip malls. I'm saving the stuff & using relics to teach children. I've donated stuff & it ends up hidden in a drawer or museum basement. Yes, on privite property it IS perfectly legal with landowner OK. I don't sell a thing. Take your attack to the sellers on E-bay if you feel so strongly Chief archie.

[SCdigger]

You go get 'em...good job.

[CalfCreek4x12x08]

mettafirerescue, you are from th USA. this video was takin in england. the laws could be completely different there. and im not so sure digging relics is illegal if it is done on private property. could you maybe send me a link that talks about whether or not it is legal to hunt for relics on private property? im assuming that since its illegal to dig public lands for artifacts (thanks to lawdog for the information regarding that), then it must be for relics too? please send me a links.

[SHNewEngland]

The day these archies pass laws that we can't dig a hole in the backyard that I pay high taxes on is the day I quit! It's Privite property WITH PERMISSION again. Legal detecting just irks "people" like him, so they make rude comments. I dug old bottles in my own garden. To them even THAT was taboo 'cause EVERYTHING belongs in the ground to get covered by the next parking lot. Museums have NO interest in 3 1900 bottles. I'd get laughed right out the door- something Fireman-Archie has no clue on.

[CalfCreek4x12x08]

i agree, its ashame that some places make it illegal to hunt artifacts and relics in the grounds. it destroys them. ts a law in florida that you cannot go diving in the OCEAN for artifacts. can you believe that!?!?! that law makes no sence!

[beautydaddy]

"sence?" You should go detecting for a spean-n-spell.

[m8s4lif]

Just wondering, what would give the museums or schools a right to own them? And how come they would automatically belong to the community? Or, do you really mean the commune? If it doesn't belong to the finder, or landowner, then it would belong to whoever lost the item, or there family. But not the community.

[NiagracountyNY]

What a joke.What a Mad Little man you sound like..Go off on a subject you have No clue about...People like u are scary .Out to ruin anthing you Dont understand and arent willing to Learn about..

[Yulelah]

Great video! i would love to find some coins like those buttons, i mean that old. Congrat on your hunt and finds.

[DFXrunner]

Why would you post a response like that , calling someone a thief, before YOU got YOUR facts straight? How do you know this guy sells his artifacts? You didnt , did you? And made a totally moronic comment. And museums sell stuff all the time!! Dude...... please just stick to FF.

[TreasureFiend]

Awesome hunt bud with lots of great finds!!! I don't know how many times that I have hunted huntedout places and came away with goodies (my sites arn't half as old as yours though) LOL

[icollectstuffdude]

Nice finds! Thanks 4 the video! : )

[huronhorde]

i believe that hook was used to switch off horse shoes. great condition! ex. finds!

[SHNewEngland]

Thanks, That  "hook" has had us stumped....another was just found at a Civil War site. That gives us an idea of time period too...

[huronhorde]

your welcome.

[scorpiotoyou]

great vid! love your relic hunt. to bad i cant find stuff like that here in California....
