Hey Guys: Use a battery powered reciprocating saw for the tree roots. Just an idea. I used one for tree roots to remove in my yard.

@vair63guy That's not a bad idea...thanks :)

Those are four wheeler ruts from hunters...

[SHNewEngland]

@MeyersBlake Yes, that's obvious- but they are called "Cart Roads" here for a reason. What I meant was these were the same colonial roads traveled before & looked probably exactly the same as then.....

I wanted to start coin shooting but it's illegal to take things from public property if its over a 100 years old I heard. I could ask for permission to check out private property but I feel weird asking home owners.

rickster348,

And why should archaeologists have a monopoly on historical artifacts?

[SHNewEngland]

I have never been bothered for "coinshooting"....but private property is the way to go. All of our sites, even foundations are all private property...

Well done, nice video. Thanks for sharing with us and look forward to seeing more.

Best,

Chris

F##k "progress"

[vilekyle22]

I really liked how this was done.

Worked on a old house and the carpenter found a coin in it used by the british but mostly rejected in the colony especially by the irish.He gave it back to the historical society that owned/ran the historic house. Like he told me, i may be a screwball from the crazy 60's but i'm a honest screwball.

Nice finds on that site Bill, good job. I am always saddened to see modern "progress" killing our heritage. Once it's all gone we can never get it back.

i live in berkley mass, mostly all woods 10 years ago, now the woods are almost gone as they keep up with new developments, you can't open a store around berkley mass, but you can sure over crowd this once peaceful town, now all day i hear hammers, saws, seems like hundreds of trucks driving by, my water pressure keeps going down, the coyotes, wild turkeys and deers are running out of woods to keep sheltered my taxes also keep going up, thanks to liberal assholes!

Hey nice job! What kind of detector do you have? How much was it?
