- Walking the old wagon trail with my metal detector today I found a spot with a few artifacts relics from at least the early 1800s. Nail iron in the ground I could hear with my Fisher F19 , so somebody was doing something here hundreds of years ago. I spent some time exploring the old deserted New England colonial farm lands reading the landscape history as I went and found something interesting. The massive megalithic stone wall at the back of this location was incomplete but staged with massive stones. you can see that somebody laid out the first rocks spaced apart and then late people filled in the gaps. Kind of rare to see out here and adds a bit of mystery to the old abandoned place. I could not locate a cellar hole but this one isolated area had old things in the ground and it was oddly enough off the side of the cart path by 100 feet or so.

Thank you Charlei! Very interesting analysis. Most of us are focused on what we can find with the metal detector. You have gone way beyond that, you are focused on what you can find out about history in your area. Cheers.
The way you talk to the camera during your videos makes me feel like I’m there walking beside you. That’s what I love about your channel. Thank you Charlie!
@@DiggingTimesPast a real arkelogist
It's kinda funny, I was thinking that awhile ago. I really enjoy it. It's almost like I know all of them. Even though I'm a stranger.
Hey Charlie, I have watched a lot of videos from other youtubers, your channel and Stealth Diggers are the best. I appreciate how you explain history, objects found as well as the landscape. Seeing you actually locating an object, showing the ID on you Fisher medal detector, carving out a plug in order to find the relic and using your pinpointer goes far beyond what other youtubers do. Your videos are a great learning lesson on medal detecting. I hope you get a commission on sales from Fisher!
Roll on Spring-time! The UK winter gets "boring" weather-wise after sixty-five plus years. One happy note, the scenery here gives promise of better weather to come: before the next Glacial LIA arrives! Also, I found two Viking lead-alloy gaming pieces yesterday with my old 'war-stallion' F75. After getting us both lagged in mud!
It must be so amazing that you were standing in the very first settlement ground.
Love the video.
Thank you Charlie 😊
Buttons and buckles, good finds Charlie!
Enjoyed 👍
I love my Not Thursdays with Charlie.❤️🙏🇺🇸
Please read 'White Pine the Tree that Won a Nation' by Andrew Vietze Charley! It explains a lot. Nearly all 'cart paths' were started firstly for 'Logging Team Roads'. All the early grants from MA were for the Lumber initially with heavy stipulations as to when and how the land would be cleared and what choice wood the King possessed. The boulders may have well been firstly left by Kings Surveyors who had teams with them as they laid out the roads and plots. There were fortunes made in Lumber. Houses filled in along these roads. Sheep came much later in early 1800's to replace the wood industry. They had to clear the land first. They made wide straight paths with burms and forded streams with boulder bridges because the teams to haul the logs were huge 20 oxen. Seemingly 'useless' paths ended near/on hills because that's where the trees were. All paths lead to paths that lead to Exeter and then Portsmouth for ship masts from all the old growth Pine. I'll send you a copy of the book if I have an address ;)
Great video on this place. Thanks for explaining the who, what, and why of this area.
Always a great adventure 👊🏽😁
Thank you Charlie for the adventure , seeing some beautiful scenery and a few nice finds !
Boom let's go let's go treasure and adventure ✌👵
Really a busy place apparently in spite of not a lot of distinctive visual clues. Good for you.
That wasa proper relic hunting vid👌🏻
When I was young all the older farmers would relate distances in rods. I've not heard that in many years.
Rods and chains and furlongs (furrow long). Showing my age here🧑🦯🤸♂
Interesting hunt and finds!
Very interesting videos , I like that you explain to some depth about the terrain and the folks that inhabited it. Glad you mentioned the Oxen, I was going to ask how did the big boulders get moved/located. I'm from the south and there isn't anything like this down here.
Thanks for the interesting videos. Was this video from last summer?
Broke my ankle a few weeks ago, if I can't be out at least I watch n enjoy
Your speculation on it being the area they parked their wagon is a good postulation based on the relics and the lack of a cellar hole. Few nails perhaps they put up a small structure before moving on
Prep work sure makes sense
In other videos you said there were 200 acre squares, would one person own the 200 or was it cut up
How does that tight necklace not drive you crazy in that humid weather??
So do you ‘hedge’ your livestock in like they did in England?
maybe the settlers on either side of the walls not finished, made agreements with each other to share the land. . ? the squares, if I'm understanding correctly, are pretty small.. another thought along with that, the settlers, in defiance of the grants from the govt intentionally left openings.. to allow more room to thrive? could the buckles be oxen tack?
1st in...Pathfinders
2nd....me. But, my comment section is closed again so, I can only reply to yours. Greetings Charlie from Snow Packed Illinois.
Millions of Americans hanging out in the "wagons for awhile" right now.
Interesting as well... the ones moving in.
Oh it's already in NH, both stated above.
As I understand it slavery and indentured servitude in the US were not outlawed until after the Civil War (putting aside how much that was enforced then and later on) I can not but wonder how many individuals who did the hard labor were indentured servants at these sites.
I have watched many of your videos and they are getting more boring lately. You spend more time describing your surroundings and giving history lessons and less time actually doing any searching.
Have noticed that he doesn't reply to anyone? I'm about delete this channel because I have a feeling he doesn't care about the viewers. I agree with you about the content.
