Swede taxes are high, but your quality of life is a lot higher than living in the US in some aspects, such as health care, schools, low crime, etc. But yeah, the no detector thing is a bitch.

I’m glad you have history in your front yard. May I suggest any finds to be dunked into a bucket of water first to soak and then to dissolve any crud. Rubbing hard with your thumb is liable to damage it further. Also when you hear a “reaction” in your earphones, don’t just strike hard with trowel, but to delicately scrape away the soil layers. Thanks for sharing.

you “can” find very old coins etc in massachusetts….but nothing like major civil war items. Considering that about 600,000 people died in that war….I can just imagine the historic articles beneath the dirt “down south”

where you found that 3-ringer, usually you can find 6 or more in that same spot, i dont know if you looked but thats usually the case, unless it was an expended bullet- Great finds by the way!!!

Where did you find your digger? Works pretty well for relics, obviously.
Thank you for excellent informative video; I subscribed.

Hey cool vid. Metal detecting is too fun…I use a garrett 2500 and have found lots of silver so far this year…would love to find a nice field where an old civil war battle took place..when i die, i won’t ask God what the meaning of life is…it will be..what was the biggest loot that i missed with my detector…Good Luck hunting…nice job!!

I lived in virginia in newport news for 2 years. Civil war emplacements are so common that there is practically no place you can walk back in the woods and not find a trench of some kind. Digging in them however will land you in jail for quite some time.
I was at the park one day and went to piss back in the woods and came across what looked to be a cannon emplacement the way it was shaped and the depth of it. Although alot also may be revolutionary war as well.

Loved this, I hunt in my front yard in Fayetteville NC and I have found some really intersting things mostly US relics.

This is crazy!I have to walk for miles through the woods to find a good spot! You’re in your front yard!I do have to admit I dug the field,which is my backyard,but it had been hit pretty good before me…of course.I still found nice stuff. i.e. breast plate, sabor belt plate, napsack hook/buttons/etc. bullets and buttons. But not 10 FEET FROM THE HOUSE! I cant see how you wouldn’t hit a plate with the way to “axe” the ground! I’ve seen plate cut clean in half like that! Well, good luck. Nice Vid

damn here in stafford on 800 acres i cant find a thing, wished there was more info and maps on where they camped or moved through at around here, to check, great vid, gives me some hope i might find something , but damn the artifacts laws, and parks wont let you dig anywhere, even on some ball fields,
