Historic Homes
Some of our favorite hunts happen around old homes where generations of history have been left behind. On this page, you’ll find metal detecting videos from historic houses and properties dating back to the 1800s, 1700s, and even earlier, as we search for coins, relics, silver, buttons, and other pieces of the past.
What you’ll find here
A curated collection of Quarter Hoarder videos for anyone interested in metal detecting at some of America’s earliest homes. These hunt videos take you to real places where people still live, that have been standing for huundreds of years as we find things our ancestors lost centuries ago.

Untouched 1820’s Property LOADED with finds
On our first metal detecting trip to this untouched 1820s property, Doug, Rich, Charley, Lynne, and Jason had no idea just how much history was waiting beneath the yard. That first hunt produced early U.S. large cents, old buttons, military relics, unusual 1800s artifacts, and an incredible assortment of silver coins scattered across the property. Since then, we’ve returned several times to keep searching this historic home, and each trip has uncovered even more coins, relics, and pieces of early American history.
