Got out Saturday to some private property that has at least 6 cellar holes scattered around 100's of acres. We were able to locate 4 in which one of them gave up some decent goodies. Plenty of buttons including a naval cuff button, a 1843 Braided Hair Large Cent, one complete shoe buckle frame, and I beautiful silver applied half a shoe buckle.

During today's hunt, Dave and I met up with a poster on another forum in which he took us to some sites in Rhodae Island. We hiked alot while visiting 4 more cellar holes that unfortunately had already been pounded. I was able to squeek out an 1825 Matron Head and a handul of buttons. The sites were not that productive but the fun time easily made up for it. ::usaflag::

|:cheering: Wow that 1st one looks like someone cleaned it up with a rake, it's so clean looking. Usually cellar holes are filled with trash or caved in. The one is in Pristine condition. The owner took good care of it. I like the huge Chimney, that's great ! The owner most have lived there a long time for there to be items still left in the ground. As far as the man's head, I don't think it's a baseball player because baseball started later. It looks like a horse Jockey.
:congrats: AGAIN!!
