metal detecting one of the first settlers sites in this NH town 1739

New England settlers history found metal detecting a New Hampshire Cellar hole in the woods. I went hiking and exploring one day to see if I could find this early colonist settlers site and hiked about 8 miles. I did locate it and returned the next day with my Garrett ATGOLD metal detector to see what I could find. Starting the dig out I made the observations that it was a small cabin site with no well, no barn and a stone chimney stack which are all consistent features of crude and small structure. This spot turns out to be one of the pioneer landing spots from a party that was sent to settle this town in 1739. One of 11 men forged their way out here to establish settlement but only lasted one year because of the Indians. That is amazing history right there. I found some relics left behind from this one man such as a pewter spoon. tomb button, musket ball and shoe buckle. The best item I found was a trade axe from the late 1600s that would have been this settlers main tool for building and survival. It is the classic British design that would have been made to be traded with the Indians. It is the design that predated the tomahawk .
