Looking to find where old colonial homes once were takes a lot of time and work. Finding cellar holes themselves out on old dead roads is pretty easy but finding a footprint from a house in the middle of the forest is a different game, In this video I spend the day following walls and hiking miles back and forth swinging my Garrett ATGOLD metal detector. Im looking for iron in the ground . a concentration of it is a good indicator that there was a structure there at one point in time.
Walking through these old woods we follow many old stone walls that are a huge sign of life in the past, patterns of how these farmers built there farms. Metal detecting what was old fields can produce relics like buttons, coins, spoons, tools & general farm equipment.
Today I don't find directly where a house was but I do find evidence that I am close because of the things I am finding in the ground. Dug a tomboy button from the 1700s and a few other relics.
