Historical property searches are free

Old Vermont is still out there.

There are few feelings like the rush of seeing something historic come out of the ground — especially ground you've walked over a million times, for decades, without ever thinking twice about what's underneath. We're interested in pre-1900 homes, old farms, stone walls, cellar holes, former house sites, old orchards, abandoned roads and long-held family land. There's no charge for an invited historical property search — this is the part of the business we do purely for the love of it.

Vermont stone wall

Careful from the first signal to the last plug.

We pinpoint before digging, make the smallest practical opening, recover the target, replace the soil and turf, and pack out any trash we find.

Before a search, we agree on expectations for anything recovered. Identifiable family items and anything unusually valuable or historically significant are discussed with you directly.

You'd never know we were there.

Three-step process: dig a clean plug, carefully recover the item, then restore the ground so it looks undisturbed

Once a plug is back in place, it's barely visible — within days it blends right back into the rest of the lawn like nothing ever happened. And if something turns out to be worth real money — see what could be waiting under your land →
