Congratulations on the large cent, putting slick ricks in your pocket certainly works Charlie. I agree when you called the woods beautiful and mystical, I have always thought that in the natural world I was walking in our ancestors footsteps. I enjoyed and admired the wonderful wall, they certainly knew how to build them and they make more sense than wood and wire to me lol. Take care my friend, good luck and happy Not Thursday to you Mary-Ellen LFOD
I think I have figured out why I really enjoy your videos! I have nothing in common with your hobby. I don’t understand 1/2 of what you are talking about, but I’m learning!! I always think to myself “why am I going to watch this one, they are all the same!” Then today I realized - - they may be all the same, but they are ALL different. I am a history buff also, and your finds are really intriguing. I like all your group, Diggers Dame and Keeb are always interesting, your wife is funny and sweet and the rest of the gang are good for a laugh. The scenery is super. Altogether different from our woods - Florida. Yours are prettier, but ours have a special charm. so thanks for your good work and great film techniques! I hate that you have to keep walking back to get the camera tho!
Charlie rambles in the woods, because it must be done. He takes old paths both bad and good, because it must be done. The walls he finds are stacked real well, tho sometimes it's way hard to tell. He rambles far afield for fun, because it must be done. Charlie hunts the hills and dale, because it must be done. He finds his targets without fail, because it must be done. He hunts for every cellar hole, on old home sites, his daily goal. Sometimes it's rough, but still it's fun, because it must be done. Charlie shares his every find, because it must be done. Through brambles thick or cart path kind, because it must be done. He hikes and hunts most every day, to show us history in his way. To him it is the best of fun, for him it must be done. Thanks Charlie, you are ever an inspiration. I always look forward to another episode in the continuing history of the old New Hampshire hills. Have a great day!
Well done Lesa. Maybe written in old script on a piece of parchment - then frame and send to him. Then he can hang it up and show it in every Not Thursday video! Cheers. Chuck in NE Kansas
Nice slick. If walls could talk! It would be interesting to learn the history of that place. The pewter spoon was pretty cool. We keep it all! 1700s sites must be stunning to hunt. Here in Idaho we have some 1800s sites, but most are historical and/or heavily hunted. Appreciate your efforts on this video. Love the pocket tumbler too!
It just amazes me how they built those walls with such precision that they lasted 2 and 3 hundred years to see those in person is such a great blessing and I know you don’t take it for granted thank you for sharing this awesome stuff with us stay safe keep them coming 👍
I have watched your videos for maybe a year and may have missed the answer to my question or comment . The walls are awesome .We the viewer don't see too many rocks laying around . .Just how did they build a wall so long and in such rugged locations . I'v love this subject covered again . From the hilly southern part of Indiana ,Thanks for all the stories . Your the best .
Hi Charlie that is one nice spoon you dug out, that’s the sort of relic I would love to reshape and polish, not too bright but just enough to look clean and bright. We sure are missing the meetings at your place, and the visits from people around the country, not to mention our beloved KEEBs. Also the great talk you and the boys have over the treasures you find. We can just hope this darn COVID goes away, had my second shot today and ended up crook/sick. Be good stay healthy and COVID free .
Charlie I learned something today!! Thank you for schooling me on soil erosion in mountain areas and it’s affect on sites 👍👍👍 Never thought about that before! Excellent adventure and loved the spoon 🥄 and buttons😁😁😁 Love NT!!!
Enjoy your vids. I live in New Hampshire as well. Would you please consider describing what directions your heading during your treks, I.e., “I’m heading southeast to a cellar hole that is sited on the western side of a 2000’ mountain.”?
Great episode and finds! When I see stone walls made from lots of smaller stones like the one at the end of this video, I always wonder if those were built by the children as one of their chores. They could not lift the heavier stones, but they could certainly stack the smaller ones. Love NT!
I'm always impressed with old stone walls. Being a relatively "lazy" modern American, Its hard for me to imagine all the effort our ancestors put forth on their homesteads. Scouring the woods & collecting the tens of thousands of rocks are an amazing feat in itself, let alone building a 3 to 4 foot high 2 feet wide wall that seems to stretch forever...WOW!... I'm from southeastern Pennsylvania & our woods still have quite alot of pre-colonial & colonial walls & homesites still around also. Almost every weekend I'm out following them, I really need to buy myself a metal detector so I can participate in digging instead of just watching videos! What's the longest stone wall you've come across? Last year I found a perfectly straight 3' high wall that was just over 2 miles in length! I doubt it was a property line wall though, I was thinking more along the lines of a old village boundary marker wall. I've even come across a few 4' high granite obilisk markers in the middle of nowhere, I was thinking they might have been very early markers from when the area was being surveyed for the very first time. I've taken a few pictures but keep their locations secret to prevent people from stealing them. Unfortunately it happens.
I grew up in northwest Massachusetts where Mass, Vermont and New York come together. Now live in flat central Illinois. Would love to go back home and do what you do. There is a lot of history there which the Appalachian trail running through my home town.
Just stumbled upon you channel recently and I’m hooked. I have always been intrigued by metal detecting but never tried it until last September while on vacation at Cape Cod with my then 4 year old grandson. I borrowed a friends detector and each day we searched the beach. He (we) had a blast. Just a couple of questions, what section of NH are you in? Just curious cause I’m in Bedford, and what brand of cigar are you enjoying? Keep up the good work....
Yeah! Walking in our ancestor’s footsteps. I am also surprised at those long, long stone walls! It must have taken months of brutal, back breaking labor, not to mention transporting the stones to the worksite over such steep terrain!
Cart pass... that has got to take some hours before you can recognize such features so well.... amazing knowledge you have gleaned from your explorations!
Hi bud, Great vid, love ur determination , but what I was wondering whilst watching ur vid, why was a low wall built and it went on and on, what was the purpose of it ?
Ah yes, the old pocket tumbler, I remember doing that with a US half cent many years ago, then you and I tried with a hand full of what you called, slick Ricks. Nice digs man.
That wall is amazing!! We have lotsa rocks in our fields as well.. i have always thought about building a small wall in the small grove of trees close to the farm..
Charlie, what are the chances that you and some from the group follow the erosion path from that hillside cellar hole. If there were items from the site, i.e. other coins, buttons, buckles, etc. they would have been deposited down that way. a tree or rocks may have been enough of a barrier for those items to be deposited there. also that low area on the hill side from that high wall may have targets. Just Sayin'.....Brad
The coin with the just visible silhouette, if it is copper, looks like a flowing hair US large cent. I could be wrong, but that is what it looks like to me. It makes sense as you said the sites were late 18th early 19th century.
Why don't you use electrolysis (I think is what it's called) like other detectorists that I have watched? They seem to be able to reveal the coins without dinging and scraping them up? I'm just a novice so I really don't know what the best way to do it is
I'm thinking to myself-hey I know that fellow from another channel, I'm glad that I stumbled across your other or new channel and I've subscribed. Keep up the great videos kid and I'll keep watching, best regards from Lloyd way up here in Ontario Canada.
I treasure the slick rick u gifted me I don't "marinate" in my pocket it is to special for me to drop somewhere. Is in treasure chest. Thanks so much Charlie be well
A pocketful of copper coins, lord how I miss that feel and sound...grew up with those in Scotland in the 60s and 70s, before they decimalised our lovely currency...all junk now, no soul...I could guarantee a Victoria penny of the 19th century at least once a month, and spent hours admiring the detail, or lack of it Ha!...Thanks Charlie.
How long do you suppose it took them to build that wall? You ought to detect along the wall at random spots, for curiosity sake. I always enjoy your no-ad videos. Pocket tumbler. LOL
around here pretty much every site has been pounded by others for years. i don't know how many times people have told me " don't bother, that site is hunted out"....no site is ever hunted out. i have gone back over the same sites over and over and still found stuff. don't be discouraged because someone else has hunted a place. sure, it might not be as good as it once was, but there is a 100% chance that there are still things to be found. you just have to go slower.
Yup...understood......my amazement was just thinking about the work involved in the building of the walls, cellars and homes. I do enjoy the beauty of the area but surely a struggle for many who tried to settle and make a go of it all.
Really enjoy not just the videos but your enthusiasm, the way you explain things and how Educational you are. Thanks for another great video!!!
I agree Chris . The way he tells the story MAKES the story worth staying for .

It must have taken considerable time to build such a magnificant wall. Good call on the pewter spoon DC. Thanks once again for taking us with you.

How did he NOT heart your comment! It was awesome!
Beautiful exploration! It's amazing the areas that they chose to build their homes being so steep
Nice to see the pocket tumbler. That goes back a while.
Miss you and the crew. My new life just eats up all my time and $$.

Glad you got back to see what you. Had to. Leave behind. It would have been bugging me until I got back!

Nice finds and video! Thank you taking us along!
Thanks for the hike, I needed some woods time😎
Don't forget to run your detector over those rock walls, you never know where someone might have hid something.
I am learning so much from your videos. I live in New Hampshire and I love the hunt and the dig!
Fitzwilliam has amazing strips of old home sites and the rock walls tell a story
Have you tried metal detecting the wall to see if there's anything
Good finds and those walls were
Amazing in the condition they remain today after 200 to 300 +
years .Take Care Charlie Jen and Stealth Diggers !
Enjoy your vids. I live in New Hampshire as well. Would you please consider describing what directions your heading during your treks, I.e., “I’m heading southeast to a cellar hole that is sited on the western side of a 2000’ mountain.”?
PERSISTENCE PAYS OFF!!!!! Love the pocket tumbler idea!!!!!
Is it just me or are all your videos awesome? Thanks for all the filming and editing ( the hunting is fun and not work)!
Great Ramble DC and it was worth the re-cap finding that spoon bowl. Those colonials certainly worked hard at putting together those walls :))
Hey Ozzy, fancy seeing you here!
@@PartTimeDetector I'm a Stealth Digger fanatic lol
Great episode and finds! When I see stone walls made from lots of smaller stones like the one at the end of this video, I always wonder if those were built by the children as one of their chores. They could not lift the heavier stones, but they could certainly stack the smaller ones. Love NT!
or after years of plowing the fields the rocks get smaller.

Keep up the good work....
What sight do you use to find places back that far in time.
I would get a bit of that rose . I like finding olde roses around homesteads. They are olde perfumed types.
Great video. The three Colonial items on the top of the hill. Awesome finds 👍
I find it amazing that there are that many rocks to make a wall like that and wonder how long it took to fabricate it up
I just found your channel it’s really good. I will be back to watch your future videos.
Yeah! Walking in our ancestor’s footsteps. I am also surprised at those long, long stone walls! It must have taken months of brutal, back breaking labor, not to mention transporting the stones to the worksite over such steep terrain!
I am amazed your pocket did not spill in 3 years. Great video!
Cart pass... that has got to take some hours before you can recognize such features so well.... amazing knowledge you have gleaned from your explorations!
I'm not sure but I think that's the first time I seen a spoon dug and didnt not get the spoon toss.. awesome video as well
Hi bud,
Great vid, love ur determination , but what I was wondering whilst watching ur vid, why was a low wall built and it went on and on, what was the purpose of it ?
Most walls were property lines back in the day in New England.
New to your channel, and loving your videos. Very informative and some great finds. Thanks for your work.
Never disappoint. What a wall! Thanks Charlie
I find it funny that you have a pocket of coppers and I can't stand to have change in my pocket. The pocket tumble sure gives them a nice look.
I pulled my first spoon a while back. I should send it to you. It's modern. Love a pewter. Coins are good too. 👍
Ah yes, the old pocket tumbler, I remember doing that with a US half cent many years ago, then you and I tried with a hand full of what you called, slick Ricks. Nice digs man.
That wall is amazing!! We have lotsa rocks in our fields as well.. i have always thought about building a small wall in the small grove of trees close to the farm..
Beautiful place!!! Keep Digging up the History!!!! ENJOY YOUR NOT THURSDAY!!!!
That’s so cool to go back to that target, over a year later!!
Beautiful area. Thanks.
Great hunt. Thanks for bringing me along.
You have a great camera the picture is so clear. 👍
Thanks for the hike. Cool pocket change. Expensive tumbler. Lol.
Does the inside of your pocket get dirty from the coins, ken from australia
Great wall. Enjoyed watching N.T once again 👍
Just a quick question. Do you think detecting the area of the gorge where the water went from the cellar hole be worth the time?
Why and how was that wall built, and how I mean where did they get the rocks from?
Vermont, are you kidding the whole state is a pile of rocks! Beautifully arranged.
Worth waiting for Charlie nice spoon bowl
That was dramatic landscape ?
Whoa! That was tight! Great vid DC!
Thanku for the video charlie. Love that you found an episode and a largie. Man that dandy button was huge! HH!
Pocket timber is working Charlie!!!
Charlie, what are the chances that you and some from the group follow the erosion path from that hillside cellar hole. If there were items from the site, i.e. other coins, buttons, buckles, etc. they would have been deposited down that way. a tree or rocks may have been enough of a barrier for those items to be deposited there. also that low area on the hill side from that high wall may have targets. Just Sayin'.....Brad
Not Thursday but I’m actually watching this on a Thursday LMAOROF
Such a beautiful place. The wall must have taken so long to build. Love the finds 🌸😊
nice to see that pewter spoon finally come out of the ground...
Great video. Thank you for sharing. Happy Hunting.
Just getting into metal detecting any beginner tips
Hi Charlie,
Nice finds, love the pewter spoon, the colour was amazing,
Enjoyed the home to, 😊👍🏻🥄
Thanks Charlie. Great stuff as always.
The coin with the just visible silhouette, if it is copper, looks like a flowing hair US large cent. I could be wrong, but that is what it looks like to me. It makes sense as you said the sites were late 18th early 19th century.
I am really getting used to and loving my 8:00 am Not Thursday!
Tight is bit of an understatement that wall is sold!
The fun thing about metal detecting is........ you'll never find it all. Go back next year, and you'll find something else.
Are you sure it's a car path and not an old wagon trail? J/c.
He said "CART" path.
Very good hunt and exploration Charlie
Another great adventure and a new place to check !
sir,you probably watched the movie the shawshank redemption....im curious where that stone wall is..you curious?
Rotfl lol great comment
Do you realize all the ginseng you walk through and dig next to starting at 10:30? Wow it looks loaded up there!
Congratulations DC nice work
That's the problem with finding coins up here. Everything is saturated in moisture. Which erods the coins.
Why don't you use electrolysis (I think is what it's called) like other detectorists that I have watched? They seem to be able to reveal the coins without dinging and scraping them up? I'm just a novice so I really don't know what the best way to do it is
Signed up to your channel!!! Awesome that your holding stuff someone else held soooo long ago!!! Far out!! Blessings 🙏
I'm thinking to myself-hey I know that fellow from another channel, I'm glad that I stumbled across your other or new channel and I've subscribed. Keep up the great videos kid and I'll keep watching, best regards from Lloyd way up here in Ontario Canada.
I treasure the slick rick u gifted me I don't "marinate" in my pocket it is to special for me to drop somewhere. Is in treasure chest. Thanks so much Charlie be well
A pocket of slicks is pretty cool. I've never heard of that before.
A pocketful of copper coins, lord how I miss that feel and sound...grew up with those in Scotland in the 60s and 70s, before they decimalised our lovely currency...all junk now, no soul...I could guarantee a Victoria penny of the 19th century at least once a month, and spent hours admiring the detail, or lack of it Ha!...Thanks Charlie.
The wall is great! That took a long time I'm sure! Congrats on the spoon bowl after going back! Happy dog gone diggin!😊😊
How long do you suppose it took them to build that wall?
You ought to detect along the wall at random spots, for curiosity sake.
I always enjoy your no-ad videos.
Pocket tumbler. LOL
50 + years to build them. 2 generations
a pork chop for the plethora and now we find just like Chrissy you got brass in pocket. what more could you ask for on a Not Thursday?
Thank you so much, really enjoyed this
Nice wall, ty for sharing this video
Thanks again Charlie:) 👍
Pocket tumbler that’s a new one! I hope you get some detail great hunt that was a hell of a hike!
Gees you should call that place welcome to the jungle lol
Looks just like my property in Maine. Wall, creek and car path
Great job bud, " were going back to dig that signal, why? because it must be done! haha awesome man! thanks for sharing!! HH413
Good video Charlie.
Nice hunt, pretty cool you were able to find that spoon again. HH Amy
around here pretty much every site has been pounded by others for years. i don't know how many times people have told me " don't bother, that site is hunted out"....no site is ever hunted out. i have gone back over the same sites over and over and still found stuff. don't be discouraged because someone else has hunted a place. sure, it might not be as good as it once was, but there is a 100% chance that there are still things to be found. you just have to go slower.
They certainly knew how to build walls back then GL&HH buddy
You have such a great area to hunt in.
Keep the detector volume up!
Proven to deter Samsquanch, careful on the quiet sites, hungry babysquanches season.
Amazing walls....would have been a beautiful place to live, but very challenging.
Yup...understood......my amazement was just thinking about the work involved in the building of the walls, cellars and homes. I do enjoy the beauty of the area but surely a struggle for many who tried to settle and make a go of it all.
Awesome Video 😎 👽✌️
