Your experience, effort, curiosity, and insight are always appreciated and informing. Your mindfulness guided you back to that on spot instead of moving on. Glad you found the button, and the nail that reinforced the time period. The walls reflect their values back then and it’s astonishing. I’m always wondering how hard the work animals struggled as well.
The tough and adaptable hacked out an existence back-a-long, though many might not have lived to great years. Your videos are thought inspiring, which is excellent. Thank you.
You put together good videos.Thank you for the tour out there. Whoever built those walls, either had a lot of help, or it took him a long time with a team of cattle.Some of those rocks are gigantic, that's insane.
I am a retired land surveyor in new Hampshire. Mostly surveying central new hampshire. Your insight has really got brain wondering what the heck is the truth! I have mapped out stonewalls for miles, typically thinking that they were boundaries. Never thinking to dig and see how the base was made. We would just say...wow, look how big those stones are. It must have took 4 oxen and a dozen men to move that stone. Meanwhile, their cabin was litteraly a trappers hut. It doesn't make sense! I would like to discuss this with you. The truth is out there. And we want to know!
I hope you detected around the base of that old-growth tree, I always start at the base of the oldest trees when I am in new areas, and always come up with the oldest finds.
Stacking on the inclines is way easier than the flat as you have mechanical leverage . When the timber was cut and stumps pulled rocks from the virgin soil was picked by anyone that could for pay and the teams of horses / oxen and stone boats made quick work with 4-5 men. Iron bars and actual strength. The one tree you showed was older growth and most of what I saw was 3 rd growth. The oldest trees are generally left in the corners for marking. Elm and chestnut were the largest generally and most are long gone from disease. We have an ancient elm on our farm here in Ny . Often trapper shacks were built in 1600’s in pursuit of fur. And they were generally using native animal and human trails. The Iroquois bought lots of pew pews from the trappers in those times and extinguished their competition. Fort Ontario in NY was built in 1727 so the army and navy of British and French had been sauntering about long before that with fur trappers in Ct . My mothers family arrived in 1620 with the King of Englands directive to settle and build the first inn. Coles Hill. Plymouth Mass.
Thanks Charlie, I assumed the almost verticle wall was pre-historic, but, now I think its to do with live stock. There are examples of steep wall in Yorkshire and Scotland, but your part of the World, is more impressive. The strange kink in the wall is either a mistake, or a meeting place. I assume the steep ground, was the reason why that area failed, as in winter you could be cut off for three months. Whilst in summer midge flies and forest fire. Tough people then.
East bound and down, loaded up and truckin. 🎼🎶🎵. Smoky and the bandit, East bound and down by Jerry Reed. Ok, flashback. Happy Not Thursday 2025. ❤️🙏🇺🇸
Cool video! You should sew a Bigfoot Researcher patch on your t-shirt and make a second video talking about how Bigfoot built this wall. Did you hear that???
@@jimbeekman4863 you are correct that would garner tremendous views I don’t personally believe in Bigfoot even though I once lived on the Bigfoot Scenic Highway in Northern California It sells a lot of wares there that’s for sure.
were the loggers looking for specific kinds of trees for specific purposes? @Big Dan kinda answers my question at least size and age wise.. what did the first peoples in that area use for direction finding? ..besides the sun and stars.. they mustve known the land like the back of their hands, passed down from generation to generation. the elevation of Billings MT is 3,123 feet. If I understand correctly the trek was up 1500 feet.. NH is closer to sea level?? I'll look it up.. 1000ft.. 6,288 ft at the top of Mt Washington, 0 feet at the atlantic ocean. am i figuring correctly? where he was is 2500 ft above sea level..? (11:45 mins).. of course he's doin it just to do it! =) what other reason would there be? =P =) I was taught to walk sideways down an incline.. that was a long time ago.. could be wrong!? I'm questioning if and why there would be habitation on the literal side of a mountain/hill- on a 45degree angle? at some point in time square nails were used to hold wagons and the like together..? a big shrug of my shoulders- idk!! 5 mins left of the trek-- the people would not want their oxen to wander away so they built rock enclosures with small wood structures with chimneys to keep themselves warm and make bread..
I just rewound and also saw lots of Moose wood or viburnum momentum or something similar They also produce red fruit like that I believe on top of the leaves
What kind of psycho decides to make a farm on practically a sheer cliff face, cutting down huge trees by hand, stacking insanely heavy rocks into walls... Charlie you found a sasquatch farm.
I have so many cellar holes that aren't mapped. It's nuts. Contact me. I just enjoy the adventure. I only have a subsurface instrument that detects furious metal.
Your kids used to be dirty interesting. Not anymore. Metal detecting is interesting. You crunching through the same nauseating woods and staring at Rick's us NIT interesting. Maybe to you but nit to someone who really wants to see metal detecting. Get another hobby or find a new site which would possibly be more interesting. Maybe actually metal detect.
Are you drunk or did you have a stroke?? Trying to be rude with atrocious spelling and grammar is hilarious..someone should teach you some manners but I doubt many people enjoy being around you..happy new year to you and hope you do better with your social skills.

Those people were unreal. Happy New Year Charlie and team
A nice new year's day hike. I can't wait for spring. I always feel like I'm there with you.
Keep it up Charlie. Happy new year.
Some of the rock walls of New England are in crazy places. It definitely took some work for sure
I hope you detected around the base of that old-growth tree, I always start at the base of the oldest trees when I am in new areas, and always come up with the oldest finds.
Same!
Happy New Year to all the NT/SD gang and fans. Can't wait to go on another years worth of hikes and finds. 😊
Thank you Charlie for the adventure , seeing some beautiful scenery and a few nice finds !

Coles Hill. Plymouth Mass.
Good perspective. I agree. Family's were large and everyone pulled rocks to make fields.
Another conundrum to contemplate. A most interesting trek in the woods
I love to see you find new spots to detect. I hope this one will turn out for you guys!
Cool video! Keep exploring because history is fascinating at every turn.
Good morning ☀️ and Happy New Year 🎆 really like the hikes you take us on ❤Charlie 😎🤙
Great save! Another site
Such a great video. I really enjoyed this one. Hopefully more relics are in the future there.
Hope you and Jen have a Happy New Year!
Have yourself a Blessed New Year 🕊️🙏😊!!!
Happy new year charlie,, keep it up 😮
Mission accomplished.
Happy new year Charlie. Hope you have another good year of metal detecting with the crew 😊👍Al from Vt
Happy New Year! Great find.👍👍
boom let's go let's go treasure and adventure ✌👵
Great job finding that spot i agree you should go back maybe with a bigger coil to get alittle deeper. 1 button may be more finds
Beatiful scenery.

Great hunt Charlie!!!
Beautiful walk and so interesting ❤
History amazes me. Great video, Happy New Year 2025. Have another great year, and keep the videos coming.

History amazes me. How people lived. Thank you for the video ,and Happy New Year 2025. May this year be better than before.
I'm with you. I don't think the settlers built those walls.
🤝
Interesting. Enjoyed 👍
WOW! TOMBACK….a NEW SITE

See if you can find a lidar scan of the area. I'll bet the walls are obvious.
Have you checked out tom wessels videos about reading the forest floor?

blacksmiths/farrier station?
😮A friend of mine broke up a huge quartz rock to bring pieces back home to put in his garden.
Why would anybody in their right mind build a wall up there.
I would think maybe some desirable trees were there at the time of wall building.
What town is this in?
I'm pretty sure at the 16:10 mark on this video, you were standing next to a pretty tall ginseng plant.
Birch tree. New England.
You can see 3 red berries. I know what a birch tree looks like. @@frankmonroe8320
I saw black cohosh yellowing near there
Northern cove hardwood forest and northern suboreal forests
Ginseng habitat for sure
I just rewound and also saw lots of Moose wood or viburnum momentum or something similar
They also produce red fruit like that I believe on top of the leaves
That Rock , talks .
It's talking to You .
Twice It , talked to You .

OIC. You only allow nice comments.

Oh look totally normal rock walls

maybe not for you, this is the content i've been waiting for on this channel
Sounds like you’re the one who needs another hobby. Jeanne.
You didn't take your laxative this morning.
Maybe you need an enema.
Nit-wit.
Are you drunk or did you have a stroke?? Trying to be rude with atrocious spelling and grammar is hilarious..someone should teach you some manners but I doubt many people enjoy being around you..happy new year to you and hope you do better with your social skills.
BORING!!!!!
