On April 21, 2012 I went metal detecting at a colonial cellar hole in search of old coins and relics. With my Whites MXT I hiked into the woods in search of the old foundations. The day started off strong, when the first signal I dug was a 1941 wheat cent, about 4 inches down in the middle of the old driveway. I focused mainly on the old cart paths several hundred feet behind the cellar hole. Eventually I got a solid quarter signal, an 83 on the VDI, at about 7 inches deep. I dug down to find a beautiful colonial flat button. I also dug a possible silver and gold Marines pin on top of a rock formation, along with another colonial flat button on the cart path. It was a nice day out at the old cellar hole, and with the colonial relics I found that day, I know there are more waiting to be found.
