A good exploration out and about, an interesting insight that paths and tracks about camped grounds then settlements may be on the same lines as once first used as today's, or very nearby. Of a couple of German settlements near us, one failed fairly fast, Hallam North, don't know what name it went by, the other very successful, and eventually a wealthy area carrying many old families' names, Zion Hill, later known as Harkaway, belfry 1869, bell rung every NYE, called "Concordia", recast 1935, and it's still there. Maybe as where you're looking the track names and localities were lost, levelled with machinery, or a long decay after a short burst of activity with scatters of signals yet to be reached by eye or machine detection. Excellent seeing you out on the searches, we ought do much more too, but for aiding the families, but those kids are themselves hooked now on treasures of all sorts, historical, environmental, natural and precious varieties, that's been our constant pleasure to inspire. Good luck exciting all these senses too!, and be safe and well. Gabi of Narre Warren.
Hi Gabi, yes it’s always a bit of an adventure exploring new ground, don’t know if it’s going to be a complete flop or yeild some treasures, I have been to other settlement sites and been lucky to find a brass razoo 😅 just no signals, yes there is a lot of lost settlements forgotten to history quite often on the roads between towns there is area names that once apon a time were little towns, but I guess with the railroad and the increased speed of travel on the roads they were no longer necessary. 👍🏼 Hope you are keeping well
Looks a fantastic place to detect. Best wishes from Lancashire, England.
Well done William. Bit tough going but you nailed some stuff. Congrats on the coins, thimbles and buttons. Good luck next time out 😁👍
You never know what could be at a new site until you give it a go.A few relics and a couple of coins from there,so you did well.Cheers mate.👍
Great finds! Very enjoyable to watch.
Thankyou good to hear 😁 by the time i finish editing and listening to my own voice I wouldn’t know if it was interesting to watch or not haha 😅

@9:34 That looks like a men’s braces/suspenders fastener.
Yeah I thought about that later… you are most likely right
@17:46 reminds me of an old skinning tool
Sometimes it's good to explore a bit to find new productive areas 😊
Yes it’s always exciting exploring a new spot :)
