You wont believe what we found under the house under a rock metal detecting a colonial spill

  • You have to see this because it does not happen very often. We were out metal detecting a colonial cellar hole up in the New England mountains at this old home site and it had not been metal detected before. There were signals everywhere with buttons and shoe buckles buried in the ground all over. The last signal of the day on my Fisher F19 metal detector happened to be right in the middle of the footprint of the house, meaning we were under the house at this point. We start digging and the signal is still under a huge rock so once we move it we start digging up all these buried buttons from the 1700s/ One right after another and they just didn't stop coming. This old house must have burned down hundreds of years ago for all this stuff to end up in the ground right under where the house was. An amazing metal detecting digging day that you have to see.

    Do you suppose they were burned out? The large chunk of melted lead Dame found at 1st.
    What a wonderful reward for all the work you 2 put in it.
    The way you work together is nice to see.
    Charlie your buckle was the largest and nicest I've ever seen.

    The buckles are big, the gentleman who lived there must have been a large man and the first buckle is a real beauty Charlie. The second was iron but after all the years in the ground is in remarkable condition Dame, great finds for each of you. I lost count of how many buttons you both found there, all different types all different materials yet all roughly from the same time period. The axe head is a large one and I suggest it belonged to the man who owned the large shoe buckles, I dont envy Dame carrying that out of there. It will be very interesting to see what else you find there, another virgin cellar hole and well done to the map maker, he was right again. I really enjoyed watching you both and Charlie thank goodness Dame was with you to help move that large rock!! Good luck and happy hunting and hiking my friends God bless you both and NinJen love and hugs to you all Mary-Ellen LFOD

    My mother use to busy us (when we were children) with her buttons. We had to remove all left over thread and fabric, then sort them, and string those that matched (to save her time). This was a rainy day job when we could not play outside during the summer. We spent a lot of time playing with those buttons. With large coat buttons, we made button yo-yos. Mom always went to her button jars for buttons to go on new garments she made. Buttons on strings were toys to children back then.
    Mom always took the buttons away from us when we lost interest in doing the task she had given us.
    Just like Mom, I have saved many, many buttons through my years. I removed mine fom old garments being reused as rags. I usually clean off all thread and string the matching sets before putting them in my collection. I wonder what will become of all my buttons when I am gone?

    Wow guys!! What a site. Check that leather in those buttons. If it's fairly similar, and because those buttons came out of almost the same exact spot, it's likely that those were cherished buttons that were put on a leather string or strap to be used at a later date. I dug up a jar of old sewing things and in there, there were 8 different buttons all on a leather string. I'm sure that ranks right under finding a cache of coins. Great job!!
