- In this week’s adventure, we’re metal detecting in the woods. What’s the BEST way to find colonial relics and coins? By following the rock walls, of course! Sometimes, your usual plan just doesn’t pan out, or maybe the cellar hole you were looking for is inaccessible… but metal detecting in New England rarely disappoints! Go with your gut, follow the rock walls, and fill up your pouch with the treasures of yesteryear! Hope you enjoy this week’s episode!

You find some really good stuff, congrats on the SB!
Thanks Mud Dog! So much more to come, I ended up having an excellent Fall! 😄
Favorite find last year was a 1773 Holed Half Reale at my childhood home in Michigan. Have found a few colonial era things from the first settlers of the area, who came there in the 1830's. Great video as always!
That’s so cool! I would love to find stuff at my childhood home, but when I detected it, I was digging beer cans a foot deep. Shame, because it’s all on 1700s farm land!
Congratulations on the shoe buckle!! Nice variety of finds for sure.
Thank you! Was an awesome day!
Great finds, Stef! Laura cracks me up. Sounds like she’s a good friend. Much luck in the coming year! Thank you!!
Thanks for watching! She’s hilarious, it never turns off! 😂 Great example of “friends are greater than the finds,” right there!
Congrats on all the finds! Awesome seeing Laura out on the hunt with you again. Keep up with the videos. We enjoy seeing your finds.
Thanks Norma! We always have a great time - I certainly hope she will be in several more videos in 2022. 😊
I love my trade arrow that I found!!! but love just about everything old I find.... Great hunts love the shoe buckle
That’s awesome! I’ve dug 3 kettle points now, but one is especially beautiful (it’s the one in my intro and I use it as the bullet points for my outro). 😊 It’s a beautiful blue/green, one of my favorite finds!
Love that background been looking for something like that
For a site like that, or graphics? 😉
Very useful information, very educational.
Keep safe out there everyone💖🍻
Thank you! Stay safe! 😊
Happy New Year, Stef! Shoe buckles interest me as much as coins, finding a complete one is amazing. I noticed yours was well worn, making it even more rare. But the piece of frame is so adorned, I have the impression of wealth. What a great beginning to 2022 for your channel. You know if I lived in New England metal detecting would be an obsession rather than an interest. I am happy you are there to save as much as possible, thank you!
Thank you! The buckle was definitely my favorite find, I’ll take them over coins and day! Love digging in New England!
Best find, complete #6 crotal bell. Huge
That’s awesome! I only have one complete crotal bell but it’s cracked. Maybe 2022 is my year. 🤞🏻
Your not the only one with finds on your nightstand!! I'm guilty as charged 🤣 Awesome video and wow what a sweet shoe buckle!! See ya tomorrow!
Thanks Charles! I feel like we’ve talked about nightstand-worthy finds, either that or I’ve just always been open about it with everybody, LOL! Seeya tomorrow night!
Great finds steph looking forward to more of your videos
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed! 🙂
Hi Stef another great video. Nothing like some nice finds to get your friends calling you names. LOL. Scored a horse brass last year with VDL Co engraved on it. The Van Diemen's Land Company owned some huge land grants in the early days of Tasmanian history. The hunt for related items continues in 2022.
Thank you! Haha, it’s true, if your friend calls you names then you know you’re having a great day! 😂 Hopefully it’s her turn next time! Sounds like a cool find - hope you dig many more desirables out there!
Nice hunts. The buckle and ox knob are great finds. Well done. 👍
Thank you! I forgot to mention it in the video, but that was career ox knob number 20. 😂
Shoe buckles are becoming one of my biggest buckets listers since I’m Midwest and that partial frame is a really cool frame. Good dig!!
Thank you! Hopefully you can make it to New England at some point and dig a shoe buckle - it never gets old! 😄
Hey Stef love the Buckle and the small piece of Buckle you found. Very ornate. The Ox nob is awesome. Love the Mercury also. Take Care Stef
Thank you for watching! 😊
Hi Stef! Welcome back! That was one really nice shoe
buckle!
Thanks Lisa! Good to be back! 😊
Awesome finds Stef!! I really love the shoe buckle
Thank you! That one definitely made my day!
Great finds. Especially that buckle.
Thank you! 😄
Great hunt! Congratulations!
Thank you! We had an awesome day!
Awesome hunt and finds Stef great job i enjoy your videos and good Luck in 2022
Thanks Jimmy! GL & HH to you in 2022!
My best/favorite find was an 1899 10c large french coin with decent details and beautiful patina on an old farm I lived on as a child in SW Missouri. I got my first detector last June and have fell in love with the hobby. I appreciate what you do for the hobby and enjoy your videos. I also might be interested in the equinox bundle you said is coming out soon
Awesome! I’ve always wanted to find something at my childhood house, but the one time I detected it, it was all fill dirt (beer cans over a foot deep, yuck!). Thanks for the kind words! My next video probably won’t be able to reveal the details (to be fair to all dealers, we are expected to launch the promo on the same day, which makes sense). It’s going to be GOOD, though! I’ll try and remember to post it in the Community section of my channel on the 15th. If you follow me on Facebook on Instagram, it’ll be there for sure! 😄
Awesome Stef!
Thank you! Any day with a shoe buckle is a great day in my book!
@@StefDigs Absolutely!! 🙂
Beautiful shoe buckle frame - congrats! My favorite find from last year is the 1770's Hibernia I found at Digstock. This year I hope to find either a shoe buckle frame or a skeleton key. (Or a GW button but that goes without saying! ) About a month after Digstock I was watching someone's detecting video on the E Coast and realized I had missed the opportunity for potentially finding ceramic pipes or arrowheads because I'd never find those things where I live. I'll be scouring the ground in NC in March for them! Great to see you back Stef!!
Thank you! You know, to be fair, I saw no clay pipe stems at Digstock and I’m always looking for them - always looking for points too, and although I saw none, I know that some were definitely found there at the event that was held 2 years before. Fingers crossed that you get on a shoe buckle or skeleton key! At least worn skeleton keys, they were made well into the 20th century, so you can find them almost everywhere! 😄
@@StefDigs Whew, that makes me feel better! I had convinced myself I had been stomping on pipe bowls and other goodies while I was detecting in NY. I will for sure be on the lookout next time! And I can't imagine what your bucket lister in February's video must be, since you've already dug a GW button. The anticipation is going to kill me! 😂
@@elisabethcole2571 I’ll give you a hint, and it’s not a very good one: it’s one of 40,000. 😂 Good luck, LOL!
Another great video..thanks..I found a really nice old brass knife the other day..yours made me think about it...lol ... keep it up..
Thanks for watching! And nice! It’s not often we actually pull out good looking pocket knives. 😊
Great video....remember so many rock walls growing up as a kid in Ct. In Florida not many rocks walls..
Thank you! I love living in New England… so many spots are overlooked because everyone is focused on the cellars, but there’s plenty of treasure hiding wherever the walls are!
Great finds! My two favorites from last year was a gold Stuart crystal pendant, and just recently a beautiful Nova Constellatio "Liberty and Justice"
Thanks Jim! Stuart crystal is high on my bucket list - well done on an awesome year! 😄
Enjoyed watching
That's a cool buckle.✌
Thank you! We had a blast that day - weather was beautiful, too! I dug that in a t-shirt, lol!
Great video!
Thank you! We had a great day - it’ll be Laura’s turn for the next big find! 😊
I live in Canada ..right across the river from Detroit Michigan. I found a 10th Regiment of foot British button. It's strange because they were stationed over at Fort Detroit for only 2 years ...1772-1774. Then that regiment left for Boston and participated in the revolutionary war...1776. So it is super rare to find one here! Probably one of my best finds ever!
That’s an awesome find! Was hoping for a USA or regimental button in 2021, but that’s going to roll over into the 2022 bucket list.
I should’ve preordered my deus 2 from you but I’m a FOOOL! Awesome dig as usual.
Haha, well just buy your accessories from me as they become available then, lol! 😆 Thanks for watching!
Very nice!!!!!
Thank you!
pileated woodpecker
Thank you! We have them slamming their heads against our house often enough, lol. Makes sense!
Sounds like that cold is kicking you butt girl lol . this was a kool video u could tell Laura was getting a little miffed at how her day was going lol . Love the buckle btw . My fav find for 2021 is probably the 1600's pewter powder flask or my 1828 largie. And btw i hope you holidays were awsome!!
Great finds! Holidays were alright, hope yours were, too! And yeah, I think she was a wee bit miffed, haha. It’s just her turn next time!
Nice finds Stef ,Western Ma.? Laura looked perplexed when you found the shoe buckle . Looking to find a nice relic and some new permissions ! Have a great #2022 I'll be watching !
You have a great 2022, as well! Not western MA, but we were in MA. 😊
Steph I hunt in the woods a lot. Also came across the defined piles of stone. I very much think they are graves. I’ll hunt up close to them but never ever disturb them. Pa here. Love your vids.
Thanks for watching! Some could be graves, I suppose, but generally speaking those piles are field stones that were plowed out by the farmers year after year as the ground froze and thawed, bringing the stones to the surface.
Great vid! Glad you edited out my profanities... LOL!
If viewers saw and understood the TINY piece of RANDOM public woods we happened to stop at off the side of a main road surrounded by residential housing with only a wandering stone wall as a sign of age - they would better understand my reaction that I not only couldn't believe we found ANYTHING but I could not believe you found a $#@!! complete shoe buckle. It was ridiculous. Ugh! Fun day though Bud.
If my editing software hadn’t been acting up tonight, I’d have left in more details on that random piece of land. 😂 And CRAP! I completely forgot to do a shout out to those guys in the green van that drove by honking and whooping when they saw us leaving the woods!
Speaking of the profanities that day, I’ve been saying, “f*** my a**” more than I care to admit, so thanks for worming that one into my brain! 🤣
Thank you for your new video I am always fascinated by that old ground back east, in California it's hard to find old relics or coins or Treasures
Thanks so much for watching! It’s a lot of fun to document my hunts and share them with everybody - I never forget how lucky I am to live in New England. 😄
I always enjoy your hunts and finds. I do follow you so, pretty sure my favorite that you’ve found is coming up soon in a video! I have many favorites of my own. I’d have to say staring at a Morgan and then a trime. The difference in size.
Thank you! Yeah the size difference is insane for some of our early coinage - it’s no wonder some of the tiny coins went missing!
Nice buckle, and deeep spoon, wow. Found lots of chewed bullets in the corn fields. no surgery going on out there😂
Tc and happy hunting my friend
Thank you! Yeah, that depth was insane - power of the Nox! 😄
Wow nice buckle.
Thank you! Shoe buckles always make my day! 🤘🏻
Love that buckle!! Hope I get my first complete this year!!! I’ll settle for my second complete frame 😂
Thanks! Yeah, I don’t mind a complete frame! 😊
Rumor has it a neighbor, now deceased, buried mason jars with money on my land at my mountain retreat--Will be detecting there and an old burnt out homesite in April.
That’s awesome! Hope you find it - stuff dreams are made of!
New subscriber here! Great video with some awesome finds!
Thank you so much for subscribing! 😄 Much more to come and plenty to binge, haha.
Well worth the wait Steph! Especially when we can't get out to dig and you can bring a friend along for the fun! I love the shoe buckles and the piece was really ornate. 👌 I sure hope that you can find a whole fancy one like that someday if you have not already! My best finds last year were my white whale 2 cent piece, a 1861 British half penny, and a American one from 1828 in a field that was a settlement and was a ghost town after the railroad bypassed it for the next town. I want to get on some seated coins this year and any silver half or whole dollars. Hh!
Oh, I’ve always wanted to hunt a ghost town! That sounds like a ton of fun - here’s hoping for some big silver in 2022! 😄
Thanks 😊 I actually have two different ghost town areas that I have found items at. About a half hour away from the spring DTH group hunt camp that is going on this spring. Hint Hint 😉
@@kirkgassman1612 haha, wish I could make it! Probably can’t this year, but it’s on the travel wish list!
The bird in the background was a Pileated woodpecker, they are HUGE! If you ever get a chance to see one, you'll never forget it, they are a very impressive site to see. I love the shoe buckle, as well as the fragment. HH
Thank you! Evidently I was the only one who didn’t know, lol. I’m pretty sure I learn as much in the comment section of my videos as people learn about oddball relics. 😂
I was going with a Red Bellied Woodpecker and not a Piliated but I think I'll defer to you. It's awful close. Added the Piliated to my life list a couple of weeks ago in Glastonbury Ct. It was drumming on a dead oak and loud as heck. He gave me a long time to keep the binoculars on him. Great Bird.
I actually never thought about that to detect along a rock wall but yes you would think they dropped stuff when they build them i got a ton of them Here in the Berkshires New England
Yup, I just look for any (potentially VERY old) foot traffic - seems to work more times than not!
Gotta say the buckle fragment is my favorite thing that you found. It mite only be a piece bit it's a beauty. My personal best find for last year has to be the 1876 Seated quarter that's featured in my wrap up video titled Can you say bucket listers. Oh and my house looks like a scrap yard 😂😂. Happy hunting and be well Stef
Thanks Ezra! It was a beautiful piece - I’m still looking for a Seated Quarter, not an easy coin to find, so congrats! 😄
@@StefDigs you're welcome and thank you. I was on a serious silver drought. Then one day my Diggin started with 2 Mercury dimes back to back and boom Seated quarter. After that nothing but junk on the day but boy weren't those 1st 5 minutes exciting 😂😂😂
@@EZDiggin haha, detecting is always funny like that, no way around it! 😂
@@StefDigs the sad exciting truth
Best finds? Some interesting bale seals and a ton of clad.
I like bale seals - never seem to find many where I am, for whatever reason!
Wondering - how much higher could coins get pushed up, from frozen ground? Would this mean new signals over before-hunted ground?
Absolutely! I don’t know exactly how much they rise, but they certainly reposition themselves after a freeze. That’s why no spot is ever truly hunted out!
I saw what I thought was a native artifact and you immediately pointed out those stone piles right next to it, which I've been told are native ceremonial or burial sites. The stones are too big to be field stones.
Could’ve been! Looking back, it’s more likely those stones were pushed to the side of the walking trail, and I did see evidence of logging. Tough to say, though.
I do think you and all of us in New England need to be very careful about rock construction. I'm no expert, but to me those did look like they might have been burials or something. I think from now on, I'm going to uncover, photograph and cover again.
Yeah, it’s something that should be carefully respected for sure. I think it’s a pretty bad idea to uncover them and photograph them if there are bodies underneath, personally. Wouldn’t do that in a million years, myself, but to each their own.
In NYS it seems like they built rock walls, and rock things out of boredom.
Interesting - was definitely purposefully built out where I am, usually property boundaries or they line old cart paths and roads.
👌😀👍❤

Hey, I’m pretty sure I know Laura. Small world.
It is a small world if you know her, hah!
That bird you heard was a philated wood pecker
Thank you! Received a lot of comments on that bird - with all of the woodpeckers we have around here, I’m surprised I haven’t heard them make that noise before!
Red bellied woodpecker
I was apparently the only one who didn’t know what it was. 😆

Thank you! I think I’m the only one who didn’t know that judging by the comments, haha.

My hope for 2022: locate my lost wedding ring. I lost it 6 months after getting married 2016.
Oh no! I sure hope you find it - fingers crossed for you! 🤞🏻
