Hi treasured friends....
this time we hiked deep into the forest, where once stood a little schoolhouse....one of my favorite treasure hunts to date! It's the next to last hole that made my day
Thank you for coming with is and happy hunting!!
Another entertaining adventure for sure... im surprised at the age of those finds as i didnt think any schools existed back then... that 2nd last find is huge...ive never found any of the large ones hole..... ? - do yous guys keep your finds from specific spots separated from your other finds?? Just curious. ... great hunt , great video....
Hi! I was surpised too to pull a 1700s coin out of that location...could have been farmland first and later on a school (?). That bell is our second to largest one we ever dug, and it sounds amazing. I keep track of our finds in the computer and on my phone, but they get put in display cases by type (buttons, coins etc)....otherwise we would have to use too many cases. We intend to donate them to historical societies after a while and only keep "special" finds that are meaningful to us, such as the bells, in my case (I love them!). Thank you for watching and happy hunting to you!!

Hi!! No - we literally ran out of daylight, so we didn't swing the path - and it is VERY long (quite the hike!)...there are actually quite a few paths, all flanked by stone walls, that crisscross the area - a definite location to return to!! Thank you very much for watching!

Thank You for the 12 minutes of relaxtion, Did you detect the path going in and out??????after1----------
Hi Elton! I am still not sure what that item was - but when I googled the closest I could find was a protractor (the top part), but might very well be a circle compass also? Either way - I love it (but not as much as the bell, lol). Thank you for watching and Happy Hunting to you!!

Nice finds.Was that one item a top part to a circle compass ????????????????????................Awesome hunt guys.
Another fine video, Dominique! Don't know much about bells but I'm supposing that is an animal bell? and from its size, a pretty big animal too! I've picked up few things living in New England my whole life and one is that where you see the stone walls was once cleared pasture or fields. Most of southern New England, at least, was deforested at one time (not sure how far up NH you're hunting) and the woods we see now are re-growth.
Two things made me chuckle about this one . . . first when Mark made it a point to tell us he was going to run to you this time (he didn't say "Eeeeeee!"), and second the closing shot of you two walking away I thought of "Survivor Man" and the fact that somebody had to go back for the camera!
Lol Pete!! Yes - I had to double back for the camera more than once....and only you noticed that! The bells (crotal bells) were used on any horse-drawn wagon to alert people of them coming through, and i find them all over the state - this one was number 63 since just last July - I love them, some of them are quite old and ornate, some more plain, but all beautiful! So glad we live up here in new england...sometimes we literally just walk around the woods and fields and follow the stone walls - you never know what you will stumble across!
I thought it was funny that Mark said he was going to run to me and then ran all of three steps before slowing to a walk.
I am so glad you liked the video and thank you for watching! happy hunting to you!!

Thank you!! We are very lucky to hunt in New England with its amazing history....and superfriendly people which makes obtaining permissions and researching local stories not only easier, but also fun! I am glad you liked the video!! Thank you very much for watching

Some more sick find's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Man you guy's got some good spots for sure!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You just have to feed him more Dunkin' . . . the more caffeine the better! If he starts running in circles in the woods (without his detector in his hand, of course) it might be time to back off a bit!
