I discovered (for myself) a wonderful site only 20 minutes away from me. I actually spotted the place about a year ago while looking through aerial photographs. All those stone walls in the middle of the woods had to mean something was there.

The first trip I went I scouted for most of the day, but ended up detecting for an hour and finding a 1/2 Real.

2 days later (today) I return and this time I concentrate on detecting. I manage to uncover 2 Matron Head large cents and one crusty Indian. I am shocked that I am finding anything at this site, because it's been hit hard before. Just goes to show you that swinging your coil in the most uncomfortable and awkward of places at a pounded site will surprise you...

Happy hunting and good luck out there, cellar rats! :grin:

Nice finds, looks like a beautiful place to hunt. It seems you guys have a veritable plethora of that type of cellar holes which is something we lack here in Ohio. Congrats on a great hunt and wonderful pictures! :congrats:

Yes you were certainly right. This is the best hobby in the world! I really like these old sites, so much history and the craftsmanship that went into building these foundations and walls are a thing to behold.

Good meeting you today. Too bad we had to cut the day short... better luck next time for us all.

I feel for you Ohio-uns! Yes, compared to where I used to live (NJ), there seems to be an amazing amount of these old home sites all over the place!

Great hunt I also love those old ladies. The older they are the better I like them. Although that only pertains to coins. :yes:
