Thanks for the sub! But get that detector out of the Box!!!! You’ve got lots of old history over there. Folks were in your area long before they fought the rugged wilderness way over here!
poor Mackie. Hope he got some soothing ice-cream. My wife would kill me if I brought our boy home covered in mud, never mind the porcupine. The indian nut area looks sweet. Great video
Mackie is recovering well, but will never accompany me back to that area again! His encounter with the porcupine cut short hour adventure… Before we had a chance to investigate what I believe to be another barn and house foundation farther up that same old road! But there’s always next time… Oh, and I definitely stopped to let Mac swim in a pond before I brought him home! I might be dumb, but I’m not stupid! 🤣🤣
💥💥💥💥That stove top pretty much confirms that nobody else has been there. Who would walk by that without picking it up to investigate? How old do you think those apple trees were earlier in the video? I'm now your 700th subscriber.
Thanks, Lee! It’ll be great having you around with us! Apples are slow growers, so I’m guessing very late 1800’s. But as I looked again at the LiDar pic, I noticed a grid of slight humps across the little creek by the house foundation that I’m pretty certain was a good sized planted orchard. The two by the barn could have been “volunteer seeds” left by people or livestock manure. Can’t wait to get back in there…
Thanks Matt! I’ll give the winter snow a chance to flatten out the ferns and goldenrod, and get back in there in March, after ground thaw! Mackie needed some veterinary assistance, as there were just too many quills way back in the top of his mouth. He was a real trooper, but it got to the point where he just couldn’t allow me back into his mouth. He’s back to his enthusiastically, affectionate self now… Although I will not bring him back to that specific location, because porcupines have a very small range. If he was there once… He could very well be in the same area again… Lesson learned!
I wish the day hadn’t ended the way it did… But it was a gorgeous afternoon! I can’t wait to get back in there. It looks like there is another house and barn. Farther up the road for another time!
So what do you think the large square area along the road on the left, just past the 4 way, is on the Lidar? Right angles look elevated as opposed to depressed. Mush have been something like a fenced in area, livestock pen maybe?
The boundary is stone wall, so I think that was pasture or agriculture. However, across the little creek to the left of the homestead foundation…that looks like where the planted orchard was. A grid of slight rises usually means apple trees. I will check it out the next time I’m there.
@@HistoryintheHandMetalDetecting They just released the 2023 merged multi-directional lidar, here in New Hampshire. What used to look like the remaining corner of a stone wall at a right angle, is now clearly visible as a cellar hole or building foundation. Everything is crystal clear.
Thanks Scott. He needed to see the vet. There we’re just too many quills way back in the roof of his mouth for me to access them. He was a trooper through it all.
Great video! Have you ever found homesites that never mad it on a map? I found a few interesting things on lidar that did match up with old maps. Will be checking it out soon.
Sometimes the old mapping only covered populated areas…at least that I’ve been able to find. So, yes. I’ve found roads and foundations that were already abandoned before the 1860 maps were drawn…and never made it onto a map. But it’s SUPER rural here.
I felt bad when I edited video. He’d had a mouth full for over 10 minutes before I noticed. He was a trooper through it all, and is back to his enthusiastic self again!
It’s just an option on the USGS site. Try this link: zoom into your area, and once at the area you want to search, select the "layers" option from the ones along the top of the map(it’s the one that looks like a stack of papers). Then scroll down the list and check the box next to “3DEP - Hillshade stretched.” It’ll take a second, but it should convert to LiDAR of the area! apps.nationalmap.gov/viewer/
I just got back from finding ANOTHER house and barn foundation…and in a few minutes I found 3 harmonica reed plates, and a pewter barrel spigot. I’ll definitely go back when the ferns are down next spring! Let me know if that link works, Dave.
It's important to remember that the size of the cellar hole has nothing to do with the size of the actual house. In other words, the square footage of the basement is often much smaller than the square footage of the living space. Early homes had a central chimney stack. If you look along the back length of the wall you might see something that looks like a stone bench. That would be the foundation of the chimney stack. That would also be the center of the house and the load bearing foundation wall for the entire home. The peak of the roof would be directly over that load-bearing stone wall. The Colonials were much more sophisticated than we give them credit for. The foundations in my part of Southern New Hampshire are built and located in basically the same places that they are in your part of the country. If there's a stream next to the foundation, there's also a well next to the foundation.
Once I found the cook stove and bricks, I knew it was a residence. And I’m still skeptical about the 1st 2 foundations…as the stuff I initially found may have indicated more of a workshop or shed; at least for now. Another reason to return, and continue the investigation!
New subscriber. I'm in NE Pennsylvania. Bought a metal detector 2 years ago, and it's still in the box 😂😂. I miss my Golden. They're the best!

Very entertaining video. You are very knowledgeable. That would be on my list to hit after Christmas for sure. Hope your buddy is ok. Take care.

great idea brother. I'm watching from hangtown California
Cool, thanks for watching! I wish I was THERE this morning…it’s in the 40’s and I’m COLD!😂🤣
Very interesting material👍 Greetings from Warsaw!
Thanks for watching a "way over here" video!
Nice day in the woods. Its always fun to go exploring. Poor Mackie, thats got to hurt

@@HistoryintheHandMetalDetecting I'd definitely hit along that wall. People sit, bury stuff, looks a very promising spot.

I remember you, deepskyal, from Treasurenet, many years ago. Good to see you're still around.
@@leesmith2798 Multi-directional Lidar? I'll have to check that out.
shuda been a DJ. talk talk talk.
Check out Hoover Boys videos…they’re non-stop finds, with less talking.
🎉🎉thanks. Excellent lesson on using lidar.
Thanks Martin! It really helps narrow down possible hot spots for detecting.
Great video, you found some good spots there!
Thanks 👍 can’t wait to get back in there and snoop around some more!
I hope Mackie is doing well
Thanks Scott. He needed to see the vet. There we’re just too many quills way back in the roof of his mouth for me to access them. He was a trooper through it all.
great video :) enjoyed
Glad you enjoyed! C’mon back anytime!
Poor dog ... surly he'll think twice before going after that creature again.
hey Steve! Cool video again! Nice help from lidar :9
Cheers from your south European supporters!
Hey, thanks! It ended before we could check out another possible Barn/house/orchard location just up the road.
But there’s always NEXT time!

Me & my old dog Bo found two pork u pines in woods. Yikes. He had a nose full. Not a good memory. 🎉
I felt bad when I edited video. He’d had a mouth full for over 10 minutes before I noticed. He was a trooper through it all, and is back to his enthusiastic self again!
I am down in Southwestern PA. Could you add the link for what LIDAR website you are using? Thanks.
