- Finding relics from the 1700s & 1800s metal detecting a beautiful colonial New Hampshire house.
After touring the inside of our friend Georges home we were on a mission to find relics out in the yard to give back and put in the house. This is a very historic section of Dunbarton New Hampshire right around Pages corner, so we were very excited to see what we could find. Being we were right next door to the Molly Stark house makes the neighborhood glisten with history.
We metal detected around the old barn, the old well, cart path and of course the house. We found old buttons mostly but a few other interesting items like a toy gun. At the end of our digging day we got to bring the artifacts we found inside and put them on the fireplace .

What an honor... This truly puts a smile in my heart... All of you are THE best... Thank you for what you do for us... 🙏😷🌹
Great video lots of fun. 73s
what an awesome follow up to the tour of this old home. it was heart warming to see items recovered and hand delivered to such an appreciative home owner. And as someone else mentioned the "soup bowl" was the laundry pot. The A teams rocks
Another great video ! Thank you !
Awww... George was so happy.
What a happy episode.
Very cool video great seeing Jennifer out with you guy's, glad she found a few things
Great episode!
Really enjoyed this one, Charlie.
George seems like such a great fellow.
Interesting property!
I am super jealous, there is so much history there. Great place.
My Second Viewing
I was in awe again and
Found myself smiling
Often .
As always, a great video.
George is such a gracious host! What a beautiful home, and how nice you were able to return those relics back to their home! Love it!
Way to go NinJen a tomback ! Wow you are hot on the finds ! Nice !
Jen is so amazing and humble
Cant wait to see the next dig there.. thank you George for sharing your home and yard with us!
Very enjoyable too watch
what an extra special dig...thanks to george for allowing you to dig up some history
Cool watching you decipher the clues and find the sweet spot.
Sherlock Charlie is a relic detective
If that was my house I'd be scraping that modern layer off the yard so I could detect the old stuff underneath.
Somewhere in the Siscatchiwah underground, you can find the Not Thursday A-Team if you need them. LOL That was an episode worth waiting for. I hope there will be more videos from this wonderful site. Thank you again George, for the permission and making this sll possible. - SB
It would be way cool to live in a colonial built house!! The history you're surrounded by is crazy!! That super detector SB was using might be just what that place needs. Enjoyed!!
thank you.
Very good video, congratulations on the discoveries. Looking forward to your next hunt.
What a lovely day! I hope you go back and really dig up some history.
That was great! :-) Thanks, guys!
That was fun too watch
Enjoyed the episode 👍
That was well worth the time to watch. What an awesome site and Im so happy you have been able to save some history. Another great adventure. #iwantmyNTV
Not a soup bowl. The pot was a laundry wash pan heated from beneath for boiling sheets etc.🌷
Quite intriguing. thanks for the insight. It's possible they used it in any number of ways, bathing the babies?
@@GMRUNNER George, you have an absolutely beautiful home. You are an amazing steward and caretaker of this property. I hope you add some videos of your home, it's full history, it's construction, and futures on your channel, just as you brought the Not Thursday crew in, maybe have this old house, the dunbarton historical society, and possibly even historical re-enactors. There aren't many homes in such pure shape as yours, I fully-truly loved this video, thank you for sharing your home with us.
@@dbeaumontresident847 Thank you for your kind words.
Enjoyed so much 😊
enjoyed very much !
I use a plastic bag to put dirt on. That way, all the dirt goes back in the hole and doesn't mess up the yard.
I was wondering why more diggers don't bring small tarps for that purpose...seems like a no brainer for lawns and gardens!
One of the best Not Thursdays!
What an amazing property. Thanks for sharing, GL, HH and take care.
When I was a kid, living in Southern New Jersey, I found a metal button. I added it to my collection of random "treasures", and forgot all about it for decades. About 5 years ago, I came across my can of "treasures" as I was moving. I decided to take a better look at my button. On the front of it, there is a gloved arm, holding a saber. Around the edge of the button, it says Massachusetts Volunteer Militia!! I have it in a Shadow Box, in my living room now.
wonderful...it belonged to someone who had a life.
Thanks for taking us along guys. the excitement on Georges face is priceless. cant beat that!!!!! GB&HH
F5
The A-team of detecting i love it.
That was a cool place, and nice folks!
Another WOWZA! Thanks again, George!
Great work, NT Team!
Great to see Jen out detecting again! It's amazing how long it takes sometimes to crack the code of what lies beneath. Perseverance is so important in this hobby to be able to save this stuff. Great video DC, and be sure to congratulate Dame on his CVR for me ;-)
Jen is amazing. She adds a wonderful humorful presence to NOT THURSDAY and is not too shabby at finding treasures.
@@GMRUNNER I couldn't agree more!
Swing til it zings!
This is so cool👍🏼👍🏼 Love that soup pot!! Living in the midwest..We dont get to see that kinda stuff..Grandpa had a big cauldron in the "celler" that would render fat and lard from pigs... cracklings😎👍🏼
I grew up in new england around old houses . The cauldron was used to launder clothes, and maybe a different pot to render as well.
The next time you go to detect this property you should borrow S Bills White TDI Pro for the areas that were back filled.
You guys and gal are peaking my excitement level...sweet episode.
Great video Charlie.
I too love that soup pot! Wow! Glad ya found some relics there for george. Loved that little ball button Dame!
Lol, Dunbarton. You should look at the Hamilton House in south Berwick. I have drones, cameras, connections, and unlimited vacation time if you hit the seacoast.
Awesome finds gorge is so happy . love the history of his place very lucky man
Congrats on getting a few more relics back where they belong. Let's hope there's more hiding in that undisturbed area.
I found a mercury dime, button with a design, an angel token and a half draped cent in the yard area Charlie singled out afterward He's amazing!
Way go Digger Dame a spoon bowl !
Hey I’m familiar with that part of N.H, even though I’m a Concordian one of my favorite go to places for metal detecting is about a 30 minute drive north. Try Sanbornton, There are hundreds of colonial houses there
Those octagon copper roof tile clips DO give off a great signal. They are used to hold down the bottom edge from wind lift. The flat part goes down with the pin sticking up between two tiles. The next overlapping tile will be predrilled to accept the pin and gets bent over anchoring the rows of tiles together.
I was actually wondering how that was supposed to have worked. Thank you for clarifying this 👍☺
i like it. call the a team from the stealth diggers. your right about the soil all that time and renovations being done outside will get more newer top soil.
Did not disappoint. Love the toy guns.
I can't believe I am the first person to be there on this great day and fines whit all of you.
I’m glad I didn’t miss part 2 of this house! I hope you will be able to go again before it snows!
after Charlie showed me where to dig, I found a half penny, an angel token and a button design..
George Marchand that’s awesome George! You have a beautiful home!
I like watching your videos. ✊
It took a lot of detecting and determined hunting but you found the undisturbed ground in the end Charlie, well done. The buttons were lovely to see as were the other relics and I wonder what else is there? strange having no cellar hole under the original building but no two houses are always the same. A wonderful video from a beautiful place, thank you all for the fun and education. Take care my friends, good luck and happy hunting Mary-Ellen LFOD
when we bought the house, the old room floor terribly slanted. It was like the railroad car at Clark's Farm in Lincoln, NH. When we had the floor leveled off the bare earth was exposed and I metal detected it. I found an old shovel but little else and surprisingly no indication of a cellar hole.
@@GMRUNNER thank you George, and thank you so much for allowing Charlie to film your beautiful home. I've seen very wide floorboards in older houses here in the UK, I love wood and to see the bark still on the wood and how well looked after it all is was a thrill. Take care my friend and good luck Mary-Ellen LFOD
@@mezellenjohnson2753 my pleasure. Charlie, Dame and Jen are very wonderful and authentic giving people. It is an honor to help promote their good work.
Nice finds. Go back. Have a diggin great week!!😁😁
the great state of new Hampshire great video take care and HAPPY HUNTING everyone from your Vermont friend.
Great accomplishment gang! Maybe it will open some new permissions
that would be so wonderful.
What an interesting place. I'm glad you found some good stuff, even if it was thin upon the ground. It is to be expected that the yard and surrounding landscape would change over time. Folks are always "remuddling" their properties. I'm just glad you found what you did to add to the history collection of this wonderful property. Weird that there wasn't a cellar under the original part of the old house. Maybe they had one outside, away from the house, and it got completely destroyed by the making of that swimming pool? The original owners and those who came after, were certainly folks of means. What a fine place. I'm so glad your friend George let us come along for the fun and adventure. Thanks for another great Not Thursday. Have a wonderful day!
That is great stuff and nice finds at a great old house.
Who knows how many times that property was hit before George bought it 🤷 Thank goodness you found the undisturbed old area of the yard. Now there'll be even more period related relics saved from the dirt in the future, thanks tho you Digger Charlie 👍
Jen and George both finding capguns, that was pretty cool 😃
Great.
Nice dig on a beautiful property! You found the sweet spot in the end! Hope you make it back to dig that area! Thanks for taking us along❣️ HH⛏🎧
yes. after Charlie should me where to better did, I found a half penny, an angel token and a button with a design.
That is an awesome property
As many times it's been roofed, there's been a lot of iron picked up by magnets. Probably a good amount of stuff roofers didn't notice was old and unusual. Take it from a guy who's run crews that didn't have a clue and didn't have time to do anything but swipe the magnet and continue on since people get bent getting flat tires and take it out on roofers.
I just love watching you all! I would love the opportunity to detect with the stealth diggers! I’m just on the other side of the pond in upstate NY, Saratoga county. A lot of history here!
I love the house and property. You can just vision what life was through the years. Could there be more buildings that are no longer there? Such as slave quarters. Another awesome video.
Nice, well done to the NT Team
Wow love that rare toy gun, made to shoot around corners.
Very good chance someone hit it first
You should hit that after the rain great finds. Carl HH
Wow nice relics Charlie! 👍
I looked up that toy pistol and they list one on eBay 1955 just as old as I am.
same year I was born
I live in NH in a 1820’s original farmhouse. I highly doubt the property has ever been searched with a metal detector. Need to give it a go
a lot of history there too. You could discover a little coin cache somewhere...
George Marchand it’s been on my mind.. my barn predates the house by 60 years. it’s a 85 acre piece. 500 yards from the house there was a dump from approximately 1790-1815. Ive found some awesome ceramic jugs and hardware just walking the woods
@@mrzjohnson4 There is a depressed ravine about 50 yards from my barn that I've found scrap metal in, so I never bothered much with it. Charlie from NOT THURSDAY mentioned that if I ever had that area excavated and went a couple feet down that I might find bottles and other items going back a couple hundred years. Intriguing thought what valuable bottles or glassware might be there?...Your comment about the barn predating the barn is interesting as well. My wife Esther is watching this Washington state family build a home in the wilderness. I just glance at the program here and there and commented on how much progress they had made on the house. "She said, "That's the barn." I said the house is finished?" "They're building the barn first because that's what they need to live from. Makes me wonder then if the barn might of had its start in the 1775's or earlier if the house was started around 1780? You should at least be checking around posts and gardens for any caches. Some coin and stamp shops even rent metal detectors. some lower end models can perform well enough.
I was so surprised no old coins were not found. Great relics though. George needs to post pictures of his interior if he decorates for Christmas. How beautiful and festive would that look?
I found a half penny and an angel token (late 1700's early 1800's) after Charlie showed me where to dig.
George Marchand oh that would have been awesome to see
Nice old house fun hunt for sure!!!; )
That is really cool great observations something to keep in mind thanks charlie and that's exactly how you should make soup I love soup
soup is good
Calling shotgun on the return trip! Looks like a great patch o' history.
How long have George and Ester lived there? Maybe detectorists hit that house before they owned it?
15 years. I doubt it has been detected.
Who ya gonna call? Stealth Diggers!
I have to disagree about the front of the old part of the house. I noticed that part of the house is a salt box. All the salt boxes I have ever seen have the front door on the tall side not the one story side. Many times the one story was added across the back of the house after the original build hence the original front door on the tall side. Also the "soup pot" is most likely the laundry pot.
Wow I just notice that you are in Dumbarton that's where I live, they must have named it after this town...... mind blown lol GL&HH guys
I believe that is so.
Thats not a soup bowl. That was their hot water tank. it would have been kept hot all day everyday
Perhaps the fireplace type thingies were smokers for preserving meat.Should have posted this on the tour segment.
come find my time capsule i buried and explore my yard too! I live in Danville, New Hampshire in a giant colonial house also built in the 1700’s! We’re moving on December 15th so if you’re ever in the area
✋Hi👍😁
Sometimes unbelievable to see you guys freaking out finding a single button.
Well, living in a country with a much longer history you would find dozens of metal items of the last > 5,000 years - even if you don’t use a detector…but I am looking forward to see you investigating more New England sites with traces of the first settlers. It is interesting to see that these settlers were living in the wild wearing clothes with tons of buttons and buckled shoes according to the fashion of the 1600s and 1700s :-) Good luck from Germany!
Definitely, no Roman artifacts here! The couple across the street Alex and Suzanne are from Germany. They're the best. My son Michael lived and worked in Germany for 5 years.
understood...but to put it in European perspective, it would be equivalent to say finding a button that might have belonged to Napoleon or some other influential figure.
Ask a local University anthropology/archaeology program to come with their ground penetrating radar. This would allow you to better target your test holes.
nice thought but I doubt this particular property would hold much interest for them but still an intriguing thought especially since we have Caleb Stark's family home and Clough State Park with a good number of colonial cellar holes.
@@GMRUNNER I wouldn't make an assumptive comment as I don't know about the university. Sometimes it can just be about practice, not about in situ content.
@@jewlsseven1 good point.
Hey SDN what about that cart path?
Soup bowl, and wash machine.
you may need a Mine Lab 5 or 7 thousand for depth.
It only comes out of the ground once!
I'm sure babies were bathed in that bowl.
Deer.... in GRAVY !!
lol...after the parents
What did it say on that large button?
I.R.C.C. 2 GOODYEAR 1861 Perhaps a Civil War button?... Google I.R.C.C 2 GOODYEAR 1861
Thanks!
A Japanese woman is 117 years old and still alive
122 years is the record. A French woman, died in the 90s though. Recently an Indonesian woman made headlines for being 117, as well as a Bolivian woman. The Japanese woman seems to be the only one as active as she is in her age though. I bet she wins.
Yikes, I was like # 666.
Am I the only hunter that uses headphones still?
No, some of us attempt to keep brain inundation of frequencies to a minimum, and ear mileage below average.
I used headphones
does anyone else fast forward past the blah blah blah to watch the digs
Is this your home or are you just here to not work a real job.
heh...a little of both?...
