Metal Detecting Pirate Treasure In Downeast Maine

Metal Detecting Pirate Treasure In Downeast Maine

While metal detecting a deserted peninsula that contained many old cellar holes, Thor discovers a very old Spanish hammered coin that dates back to the 1500-1600’s and was likely part of a pirate treasure haul. This area on the coast is well documented to have harbored many pirates and their ships during the golden age of piracy. It is rumored that Sam Bellamy himself had buried and lost one such treasure haul in this general vicinity. We also find many more interesting artifacts.

    Whats the best equpment, in your opinion for a broke beginner?

  4. Michael Ely on August 13, 2022 at 5:28 pm

    Another great one. Those guys are a hoot

  5. Matthew Hooks on August 13, 2022 at 5:30 pm

    The coin looks like a modern British 50p coin. Not the latest version but the previous, large version. They are heptagonal like that and the size looks about right.
    Unlikely I know, but it really does look like it.

    I actually stop watching regular tv chigg.. Your videos are all I watch now.. Love you guys..

    I live in Maine and not too far from there a few years ago. I have been doing my research on the Pirate Black Sam Bellamy and the rumor that he came up that bay to create a pirate utopia. I have stared at that place for many hours on Google earth and researching. Just never knew how to get the permissions to go out there. When I tell you how jealous I am you got to go there…oh man. Great video!

  8. digger ash on August 13, 2022 at 5:34 pm

    Awesome

    Only two things I ever found were a 1990 quarter, and that was in 1990. Then at the beach, I dug a hole about 3’ down,had a strong signal, and it was a plastic bag full of beer cans! Long story short, I got $250.00 for my White Metal detector. Some people have a knack for this. I ain’t one of em.

  10. Tracy Branham on August 13, 2022 at 5:35 pm

    Nice cellar!

  15. Tina Butler on August 13, 2022 at 5:40 pm

    I have never seen a blueberry field like that. I’m from N.C. ours look very different. Wonder also if that hammered coin is Viking?

  22. K4ntspell on August 13, 2022 at 5:48 pm

    Hon, this is not "Downeast", you’re still in the Massachusetts part of Maine. "Downeast" is about 2 1/2 hours up the coast.

  23. CC. Corliss on August 13, 2022 at 5:49 pm

    Billy sure is a character. lol It’s hard to tell if he’s messing around or being serious when he’s telling his stories. The videos with the Maine guys have been great.

  32. East Coast History hunter on August 13, 2022 at 5:58 pm

    PLEASE CHIGG. It’s native not Indian. We weren’t from India.

  33. Rameus on August 13, 2022 at 5:58 pm

  34. Canaan on August 13, 2022 at 5:59 pm

  39. Sherri Zahand on August 13, 2022 at 6:05 pm

    You’ve picked up the accent well. This adventure has been a blast.

  40. IntoTheCalm on August 13, 2022 at 6:07 pm

    I really enjoy the "raw" nature of the vids here. But it sure would be nice to see the finds after a final cleaning on occasion.

    I was detecting a small park in Bangor Maine when a fellow stopped to talk about Blackbeards treasure on an island off Machias. Its booby trapped however and he warned that it will kill you if you dare try it.

  46. Leah Barnes on August 13, 2022 at 6:13 pm

    I love growing up In Maine don’t you just love the accent. I get to hear it everyday if my life.
