    What did u find dude?

    I have done real well here in Putnam County NY with finding old coins and relics in this area..There are many many cellar holes hidden in the back of the woods that no one would see,except now it is easier to find cause theres no leaves on the trees and the woods arent so dense…After watching your great finds it put me in the mood to go out tomorrow so I got the DFX charging up to hit a few cellar holes tomorrow…Gooch

    I’m sure there are curators that would be more open…I just have yet to run across any. I will continue to have my own traveling showcase for schools, historical societies, etc. I love educating kids the best.

  6. HRPsociety says:

    Bill, GREAT video. Have you considered working WITH museums? By that I simply mean educating them – not that they would be very receptive. Do you belong to any groups?
    Again, GREAT video.

  7. HRPsociety says:

    kapacon, do you MD? Where in PA?

  8. SHNewEngland says:

    This older man didn’t want any finds, but I usually do ask first hand about a split, etc…Museums call us “looters” & “thieves”. They dislike amatures so we don’t even bother anymore….

  9. moyc99 says:

    That would be great, could you tell me where your next talk/lecture will be, I would enjoy going.

  10. sodpoo says:

    Wonderful video! Do you keep your finds or do they go to a museum or revert back to the property owner? I have to say…nice shirt! LoL I Have the same one in blue.

  11. SHNewEngland says:

    Hi Chris, I have always wanted to hunt L. Compton. I give talks all the time & have one coming up in Warwick soon. drop me a youTube e-mail & we can talk more..maybe do some filming at the cellars you mentioned….

  12. moyc99 says:

    Great video. I live in Little Compton RI and know of atleast three of these cellar holes near my home. Do you belong to any clubs or give talks anywhere? Like to learn more. Chris

    Hi Bill,
    I have a Whites prizm 5 and it’s an awesome detector.Here where I live on Plum Island,I have found my first silver.A 1944 Walking Liberty half dollar.Plus about 90 clad coins.

  17. kapacon says:

    Boy, I miss doing this! I live in PA now, but when I lived in VA, there were cellar holes like this all over. Trouble is, VA is being bulldozed under at a rate that I couldn’t handle any longer.

    Kick *** video….I am buying a detector soon…I had an old bounty hunter from the 1980′s lookin for a lost hunting arrow, i found a cattle evener and a old scythe blade…Under a giant pine in my yard. What should I havae for a beginning md kit and how much should I invest for a decent kit?

    Loved it! Keep up the good work and liked the additional information about the pilled stones indicating that the area was plowed at one time.
