  • While metal detecting a deserted peninsula that contained many old cellar holes, Thor discovers a very old Spanish hammered coin that dates back to the 1500-1600's and was likely part of a pirate treasure haul. This area on the coast is well documented to have harbored many pirates and their ships during the golden age of piracy. It is rumored that Sam Bellamy himself had buried and lost one such treasure haul in this general vicinity. We also find many more interesting artifacts.

    "Don't rub it till it dries," is good advice but instead of rubbing the dirt off it you can just pop it in your mouth and let your saliva gently lift the soil from it. That way you can see what it is right away without any risk of scratching the coin. Oh, and always wear gloves.

    • @WhittsOfTheDim
      @WhittsOfTheDim 4 года назад

      bobinmaine1 hey I found that coin on reed street in Springvale (close enough to Sanford ) it was about 14 inches down. Where I found it is a mill house duplex (1920) now but I guess it used to be a carriage house back in the day that burnt down. I think I have a video of it on RUclips if you go to my page. I’m not to good with this internet stuff but I’m always looking to go out and find some good stuff let me know. I got a 1781 Spanish half reale last year. At one of my locations. Always looking for a detecting buddy!

    When I hear Billy's accent and see the fox den, it makes me think of a cute story. We're from Michigan and we stayed on the coast of Maine for a couple of weeks, years ago with our 4 young daughters. They met a friend with a strong Boston accent and as they watched a couple foxes playing near the rocks, their friend says, "foxes eat boards". Our daughters told us later that their new friend was confused thinking that foxes ate boards ("birds", with a strong boston accent)...lol.

    I was detecting a small park in Bangor Maine when a fellow stopped to talk about Blackbeards treasure on an island off Machias. Its booby trapped however and he warned that it will kill you if you dare try it.

    Foxes have scent glands that stink, no doubt about that. Lol

    Nice place and good birds! Hard to tell on the large Cobb but appears to be a Spanish Cobb around 1700’s! Was it weighty? 👍
