2nd Colony Metal Detecting

11/27/2025

To say ive been slacking with posting my lunch break finds would be an understatement. I was out of commission for some time there with my knees blowing up like balloons, turns out I had lymes disease that went untreated for over a year. With that being said I have been back at hunting on my lunch breaks again for a couple months now and I have quite a few finds to share once I can get caught up with cleaning and taking photos. This was my most recent find from Wednesday. The only old target that came out along an old road bed. I unfortunately was not gentle assuming it was more ammunition related targets and broke the buckle into 3 pieces. Keep an eye out for my post coming in the next day or so to catch up on my last couple months of finds!!

Found this 1985 20 peso coin a few months ago. I'll tell you what, it came out looking awfully yellow and just about gave me a heart attack 🤣🤣🤣 you never know what is going to come out of the ground next!

Here is the follow-up to the cellar we found right before christmas. Some pretty awesome finds, and there was definitely more to be found. Unfortunately, it appeared to have been used as a loggers landing in the past, and the majority of the yard area around the cellar had been scraped back into a massive mound, burying anything that had been dropped by the original inhabitants. None the less, awesome hunt and I had a blast with the boys before christmas!! Check out those old glasses!!! My most complete pair yet!!!

Definitely have a good feeling about this one 🫨🫨🫨 we took a walk on our lunch break today to follow some old colonial walls and an old road that lead into no where, in the middle of no where in NH. This beautiful old home site we found isn't on any maps I can find and was quite the hike off the beaten path to get to. I'm doing my best not to get my hopes up, but there is definitely a good possibility this site could be virgin ground. Unfortunately we only have about one day of work left in this area, which means only one half hour lunch break to find what we can. I didn't have a machine in my truck today, but I've already charged and loaded my gear up, and I'm super hopeful for whatever we find on lunch tomorrow 🤞🤞🤞

Just realized I posted the video of the half dollar but never shared the wrap up from that day. Not a bad couple hours in the heat on the 4th of july!! Got to get out and swing the machines with Chris for a few and found some awesome things too!! I love this hobby!!!

I had an early day at work and was able to get out yesterday for a couple hours. This permission is one of the first I ever got almost 4 years ago. I have beat this 2 acre property up so hard for so long and yet it still produces some awesome old finds!! If anyone knows what the relic from the last few pictures is or has any kind of info on it please let me know!!

Got out for a couple hours after closing up the campsite for the season a couple weeks ago. I've been working the area for a couple seasons now and I've found some really cool old pieces but no old coins. This time I dug a TON of trash, junk metal, and ALL the bullets but I managed to not only pull my first old coin from the camp ground, but my first braided hair large cent!! I also dug my first 1966 Iceland 2 kronur! Needless to say I was super excited and I'll mark that down as a solid hunt! Some times you just have to slow WAY down and pick through the j***y areas to find the treasures!!!
