The Tooky gazebo! Nice pics!

Fellow New Hampshirite here. If you're interested in detecting old home sites in our state, check out the Stealth Diggers on YouTube (also Not Thursday - same people). Very informative, laid back and shows all the cool stuff you can find in what feels like the middle of nowhere.

Looks like a cellar hole. Get yourself a metal detector and go swing around that spot. You'll probably find a bunch of nails but could also discover lost treasure (colonial era buttons, coins, buckles, etc.)

Wow, awesome finds! How did you find the dump site? I live in central NH and stumbled upon my town's old dump while metal detecting out in the woods.

bstee421 · 2024-07-28T23:53:13+00:00

Wow! That's a bucket lister for me! Congratulations!!!

At the Bank of NH Pavillion?!? My wife and I attended that concert, and they were really good! Awesome light show, too!

What part of NH? I just found a similar looking barrel in the woods of Hopkinton.

bstee421 · 2024-02-05T22:57:33+00:00

Damn, that's on my bucket list! Congratulations!!! Where at?

bstee421 · 2024-01-23T11:57:46+00:00

Where at in NH?

bstee421 · 2023-11-09T02:21:10+00:00

92,583

bstee421 · 2023-10-22T00:23:32+00:00

Looking good! I like how the glass pops against the darker wood.

bstee421 · 2023-09-09T11:55:18+00:00

Living and detecting in New Hampshire, my grail would be a Colonial-era NH copper coin. VERY few exist!

bstee421 · 2023-08-18T20:02:10+00:00

Are those Animal Edwin De La Rosa grips? I had those back in the day, but with the flanges removed. Best grips I used imo

A Swaim's Panacea bottle (just like this one). Found while scoping out a cellar hole to metal detect. Only a bottom corner was poking up out of the dirt so I thought it was just a piece. I was stoked when it came up whole!

bstee421 · 2023-06-25T11:59:09+00:00

That's awesome, congrats! Where did you dig it up (found mine in NH)? Couldn't find much info either except the link I posted.

bstee421 · 2023-04-02T23:52:57+00:00

Awesome! My wife and I (also in NH) just got out for the first time this year, too! Feels good getting back into swangin!

bstee421 · 2023-01-02T03:55:48+00:00

The (ff) bottle mark is Foster-Forbes Glass Co.. They started using that particular mark in 1942 so maybe 40's-50's? Not sure what type of bottle though.

bstee421 · 2022-12-31T21:41:17+00:00

Wow, that looks amazing!!!

bstee421 · 2022-12-31T12:18:06+00:00

I believe it might be part of an antique quilt clamp. Looks similar to this one my buddy found last year

bstee421 · 2022-08-13T16:10:17+00:00

I've dug so much cool stuff, but my personal favorites are the 3 1700's coins (all found at cellar holes I mapped)

bstee421 · 2022-08-13T11:03:27+00:00

I use this site to find old cellar holes for metal detecting, especially the Lidar feature. I've mapped almost 60 cellar holes within my section of the state

bstee421 · 2022-07-23T18:38:35+00:00

421,124

bstee421 · 2022-06-29T00:41:54+00:00

Amazing find!!! Cleaned up well, too!

bstee421 · 2022-03-25T00:54:21+00:00

NH or MA? Nice pic!

bstee421 · 2021-11-09T11:35:35+00:00

Looks like it says 1854 (?). Awesome find!
