There was something under this rock so I started digging and whoa !
Metal detecting relic hunting this old cellar hole that is all that is left of this deserted New England farm looking for old stuff buried in the ground. I was working along the rock walls with two different metal detectors today with different size coils to see what I could find. I got a signal with the small Fisher 5 inch coil and started digging. Well what I found was not only made of brass but it still was connected to wood......Holy crap it has to be from the 1800s at the least and amazing the wood has lasted this long in the ground. Dug some more and found the other half, wait til you see this. Metal detecting old abandoned places like this you never know what your going to find.

    that hinge had a phillips screw in it. They weren't invented until the 1930's. It is beautiful. Glad that Jennifer is back on site again.
  • @user-ti3cs8fz3q
    Cool display piece Charlie! Great to see you and Jen out together again. Really miss the group digs followed by some shack fun with you and the gang. Good times!
  • Good to hear Jen’s voice again. Miss hearing and seeing her. You two find awesome things together. Congratulations on your finds. Sorry about the doo-doo.😂
  • @malyman24
    Amazing save. One of the nicest ones I have ever seen. Way to go. It's nice to hear Jen still detects.
  • @tinman7130
    Dueling detectors and the dulcet tones of Jennifer. DC latches onto a latch that's spectacular and Miss J gets a colonial yo-yo. That's a great way to start the week of Not Thursday.
  • Thanks everyone for making me feel welcomed back.. your all so kind. much love always.. ~Ninjen 🩷
  • @tmi9466
    Jen!!! I've been going back and watching old videos where she was present more often and was hoping she was doing well. Nice to hear her voice! 👋
  • I noticed that I was dropped off your channel. Glad that Jen is back. I will love to be with you again. I want to see your new discoveries, so I will close so I can watch.550 TX

    Man what a great day. Nice to see and hear Jennifer. That tiny latch was a great find. Plus Mission Accomplished and so much more. Thanks for the video😊
  • @markattardo
    It looks like there are phillips heads sticking out of the box parts. Fantastic finds all around👍👍
  • @MichaelaC531
    It was so lovey to hear Jen in the background and see her finds, it's been ages. Great little lock.
  • @captjeff2321
    Good to hear Jennifer out hunting with you amazing how places keep giving it up!
  • @KidDig
    I would try to save the wood by soaking in resin. So cool to find something old still in its intended state. Also cool the see Jen!!
  • @markvpinkham
    I would have never expected that to come out of the ground. Awesome!
  • @bobgaylord8883
    The latch & drawer pull with the wood on it has Phillip's Head screws, which weren't invented until the mid-1930's.
  • @relicrat
    Awesome finds. Small trunk maybe? Thanks for sharing!!!
  • The 45-70 cartridge you found may have a date stamp from the 1870s-1880s
  • @laurene5806
    It was so nice to hear Jennifer's voice and see her hand (LOL)! I was wondering where she was. Great episode!!
