Ok people, time to raise the dead and see who we still have detecting in N.H. !

[NHDUG]

Hi all, I see there is more activity on here finally. I hope this starts to be a regular posting site in the near future. I will try to check the New Hampshire postings daily and reply to all. Maybe when can kick start this site. I'm in Chester and have plenty of woods and fields to share. Years ago I was strictly a Beach detector-est. But now I am hooked on all types. Looking forward to lots more posts here.

Morning Bam....lets see if anyone is still here.

I'm your next door neighbor in Southern Vermont. I just got my Safari from Streeters a few weeks ago and trying (struggling) to learn the ropes..after using the Ace 250 for about 5 years, I'm finding this detector a little challenging. Anywhoo--would love to get together with the "neighbors" for a hunt, and maybe a lesson from someone who has a similar machine. There are some decent spots here in my area, but haven't found the "money" spot yet. Are there a few of you out there that would want to set something up for one of these weekends in your neck of the woods?

Hi NHDug, I'm sure with daily activity on here, we'll get some things going and maybe a few small group hunts.

Artemis, my wife has a Safari and uses it pretty well. I know what your going through going from a two tone machine to a Synthesizer. I'm sure we can find some time maybe in June.

 

[artemis moon]

Awesome!! I think it would make a huge difference to get out with someone else and see how they work the Safari. I'd love to get together some time during a weekend in June - You guys pick the spot.

I have a lot to do, (neglected outdoor maintenance chores) but I think we can make it happen. I'm just east of Manchester, so that is a bit of a ride for both you and me in either direction not sure where you actually are. We'll figure something out in the next week or two.

I know what you mean- with all of the rain, we've had to mow the yard every weekend lately. The hub and I are not opposed to a day trip. Are you anywhere near Exeter? He's been itching to get to the Sig Sauer factory - maybe we can kill two birds with one stone.

 

[BamofNH]

Sig is about 15 to 20 minutes away from me. My wife Cindy (Cindarelic) uses the safari, I'll have to ask her when we are available. So does your husband detect too?

Also you should look into NHBobsmetaldetectingforum.com and join if you really like detecting. There is a bunch of great people on there and about 5 from your area. It is based in Keene, NH. Check it out. NHBob himself is very resourceful. Bob your hat won't fit if you let your head swell after reading this. he he he

My name is Richard and I am new to detecting and it started after I got interested in gold prospecting. But I don't believe I am going to get rich digging for gold. I do believe however there is a lot of old lost treasure in New England. I have done a lot of research into true lost treasure and I have a few very promising spots narrowed down that I would like to look but would like to see if I cant get a few others to help me. I am not expecting to find what I am looking for but you never know and its just the idea that maybe something of history is found that makes it worth while. I am planing on visiting a site near Nashua in the near future and don't want to go alone. Any help would be much appreciated

Husband and I live west of Nashua. Have been detecting since April 2012. Oldest find: 1892 IH penny in park. Most "valuable" find: 14k wedding band in wet sand. Most interesting find: early 1900's "Tiffany" style silver watch fob from cellar hole. Weirdest find: crack pipe (glass) found on top of sand. We like to try to get out as often as possible (usually every weekend) and so far, with the mild winter, have still been out hunting.

HH to all,
Anita

Hello All,

New to metal detecting and still learning. Hope to be going to other places besides my back yard to look for any "treasure". I am in southern NH, just outside of Manchester. Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

 

[Squatty]

My base camp is south of Laconia. I'm up for some quality pulltab hunting.

 

[BamofNH]

So you want to head to the beach this winter and do some cleaning by the sounds of that.

 

[Brian NH]

Newbie Waiting for thaw to test out Safari.

 

[creade]

The way the winter is going,we won't get out before mid-march if lucky

 

[NHBandit]

Gone.. Between steelheadwill & BamofNH all the good stuff has been cleaned out so 2 years ago I moved to Tennessee.

 

[creade]

They might've found a lot but there's still plenty here. You just need to do some research for the good stuff. I found a cartridge box plate in September , probably a once in a lifetime thing up here. In Tennessee, much more likely. No civil war battles here!

Oh I know, I'm just messing with those 2 guys. I once found 3 Civil War bullets in a park in Warner NH. Found out doing some research that it was a muster field for soldiers getting ready to go off to war. They were all found in one area in an embankment so I assume that was their backstop for target shooting. Anything is possible. Also pulled some Barber coins out of the shallow stream that runs next to the park in an area where there used to be a foot bridge. You fine folks are welcome to that spot now. Riverside Park in Warner. It's directly across the stream from the old railroad depot. Lots of fill dirt since it's an active town park with baseball diamonds & a football field so you have to get out on the edges to find anything old. It was also a ski area before I-89 was put in. My oldest coin was also found there. A Brazil 80 Reis coin from 1808. Don't thank me, just send me half of what you find... lol Also look into the Bradford Mineral Springs Hotel. East Washington Rd in Bradford. It's owned by the town and ok to detect. I have plenty to keep me busy down here in Tennessee starting with 200 acres of corn fields directly across the street from my home. My place is the house & garage with the Green metal roofs at the top of the hill on the left. The farm with the silo across the street is abandoned. I think I'm in a good area. Less than a mile up the road is an old dirt road named "Yankee camp Rd"

I'm back! My move to Memphis a year ago turned out to be an epic fail lol. Tis good being back on my ole stomping ground. Looking forward to hunting my old spots cause I upgraded from ace150 to the 350 a few months ago and want to get all the goodies the 150 passed over. If anyone sees me swinging, don't be shy..come join in. Look for the ugliest guy around with the most beat up sox hat swinging black&yellow.

You probably would be out there a lot sooner if you stayed put.I know its only the end of january but this winter seems never ending!!!! Its been so cold that the ground is frozen solid.We will have to be lucky to hunt before the beginning of march

Are people still reading this after 2 years? I am trying to like that other forum, "Bobs" but it doesn't seem to do it for me yet. NH diggers! Unite!
