Does anybody know of a web site the one can access about land grants back in the 1700's for Maine?

My sons friend got a detector for Christmas so went out to show him the ropes. He actually pulled out a musket ball and a two piece button. My son got a 1849 U.S. Lg cent and a fatty Indian 186?. I found a 1862 English penny. It was a good day all around. HH

Well I took advantage of the great day(1'c), Got up at 6am and was detecting by 7am. Never thought I would be detecting again this Year. I never even got cold the 5 hrs I was out. The only down fall was that the ground was soooo wet from all the rain we had. I got the gold target near the end...

Also found this today, Took me a while to figure it out. It's a v nickel stamped in lead. Is there any reason one would do this?

I got your attention didn't I. I was playing In my back yard for a bit, digging iffy signals and dug this little thing up, I'm assuming it's a lighter and there are no markings. Anybody seen one before?

Here are a bunch of pictures of my last two hunts, One hunt was on U.S. side of the border and the other was on the Canadian side.(the last 4 pictures were found on the U.S. side. HH

This past spring I set a goal to beat my last years silver coins count. Last year I got 25 silver and today I got my 25 and 26 for the year. I also did it without hitting any parks or public places (only private property with permissions of course) I was getting a little nervous due to my...

Got out this morning for a couple of hrs. Found another one of my mystery items (1st picture)that I have been trying to find out what they are I now have 5 of them, and there are no markings on them and found all in different locations on the Canadian side of the border. My oldest coin was a...

Good day everybody, I got out this morning to a over the border hunt. I thought I would try a spot that I skimmed over last year. Well It paid off I got hit after hit then It went dead for the next couple hrs. All the coppers were in one area about 40ft by 40ft . the lock was a cool find in the...

I've been eyeing a piece of property now for over a year it was a vacant lot which has been for sale for a couple of years, there used to be a house on the lot many years ago. Well I finally got the time to chase down the owner(she bounces back and forth from house to cottage all summer). We had...

Got out today to a new permission, Talked to the owner yesterday, The house was built in the late 1800's. The house was once turned into a 4 unit apt building. Well while I was detecting the neighbor came over to talk he gave me some history of his house and invited me to detect his...

Got out to a new permission, It was a long 6 hrs and the targets wer'e all good stuff other than some foil. The pocket watch was not gold but still happy I got one. The 1853 half dime is so small it must be the same size as a fishy (which I haven't got one yet) The 1918 Can dime was my second...
