Uncovering history across Maine. I detect properties for owners to showcase their history by finding items lost by past inhabitants. Credited with discovering a Militia/Civil War muster field in ME. Some items on display at the BostonMuseum of Science

In 1928, George Nixon Black left the estate to the Hancock County Trustees of Public Reservation, and it opened as a museum in 1929. It houses the original furnishings, artwork, artifacts, and details Black's involvement in the Maine lumber industry. Added to the NRHP in 1969.

This token from 1972 was found about 100 miles from Ellsworth. The Black Mansion, also known as the Woodlawn Museum or the Colonel Black Mansion, is a historic estate in Ellsworth, Maine. Built in 1824 by lumber businessman Colonel John Black. The family occupied the mansion for three generations.

Well, at least i had a nice relaxing walk in the short amount of time I was able to detect today. I'm still suffering from an issue in my left hip that has been pretty brutal for going on 5 weeks now. Found an ox shoe, and a couple buttons! The scenery was terrific too!

What the hell is he talking about? Nothing about that man says strength. I'd love to see a bunch of average women line up to beat the absolute shit out of him repeatedly.

I was thinking he looks like one of those really bad wax figures of a celebrity, but if it was left out in the sun too long, and that wax figure was a total piece of shit.

Totally. I find a lot of things that are unidentifiable in farm fields and wonder what they may have been.

After his shop in MA burned down, he opened a shop in Wiscasset, ME, which is less than a ten minute drive from where this was found. This isn't sterling, but what is called coin silver since it was made from melted down silver coins. I'll have to be on the lookout for the rest of it.

I never throw away anything I find without giving it a closer look. This is a piece of a spoon I found last weekend that has been through the tiller many times. After researching it, I find that Daniel N Dole was a silversmith in Newburyport, MA, from 1800-1811 until his shop burned down.

Especially when it comes to gold, I feel like people are even more gullible.

This story stinks! It is a very serious problem, though. I'm not sure if it's similar to here in the US, but the people who report the overflows are the ones who would be getting fined for the overflows. So it's always in their interest to underestimate the severity or not report them at all.

7/30/1898 Rev. Prescott Jernigan was arrested. He scammed investors and shareholders out of today's equivalent of over $10 million, claiming to have found a way to extract gold from seawater in Lubec, Maine. Gold was planted into the extraction machine to fool investors, which was apparently easy..
