  • Metal detecting the shoreline and mud flats at low tide way up in Downeast Maine is the adventure for today. This was a fun one and I do find some old coins and other interesting artifacts. Good ol' Billy Milliken was my guide and if you have an interest, he owns a long time family real estate business and here is the link. Tell 'em Chigg sent ya! boldcoastproper...

    Another awesome hunt chigg. I do think that you need to go back to the cracks an see if you can get some more of the silver coins an maybe some copper as well. Who knows you just might find a bunch of gold coins from an old pirate ship from days gone bye. Maybe some treasures from Sir Francis Drakes voyages or even black beards treasure stop.. Lol.😁👍👍

  • @caspermetaldetecting-donde3374

    holed coins were known to be sewn inside mens vests and coats/jackets and that way they could pluck one off to make payment - pockets in pants were not very popular and were not well made way back when - you have to imagine a person back then being on horse back and coins would not stay in your pocket very well - not everyone had a purse

    First time commenting on one of your videos- I'm in Nova Scotia, and earlier this spring I dug a "coin" in a coastal area where the first setters from Mass had landed. Anyway, the "coin" with the hole turned out to be a temperance Society token/pendant. Just thought I'd throw that out there in case you were still trying to figure it out. LOVE your videos! Lol, thanks.

    During WWII the military fenced a ton of the coast of Maine to keep out zeee Germans, imagine having that detail... In fact there is a story of a U-boat making it past the defenses in Portsmouth Harbor and someone sending a postcard from the city. Not sure of the validity of any of those stories but they sure are great folklore.

    @aserta Před 4 lety

    Both theories might be right. On the one hand you do have easier storage if you string them, on the other, European culture(s) has/have a lot of examples of gold and silver coinage being worn as a ... forgot the specific word, but as something given by the father of the bride for the new family or even as heirlooms. My own family, which has a roots all over Europe, has quite a few such set pieces where for example a silver 1920 franc, with a bunch (15) of gold 1910 20 francs pierced as a chest piece (think like a rhombus net under the coins) with little pearls as spacers. Weird things people of the "ground" did back in the day.
