well today we tried to find a couple new cellar sites , it was a long hike in the hot , humid and bug infested woods. we were unable to locate them so George and i decided to hit the numerous rock walled , overgrown fields . Coinnut immediately scored first with a very nice complete colonial knee buckle but that was it so we searched out for something and i came across this small site

it was a small 12x14 square where a building use to sit , outlined by stones now . George and i worked it for a while but only iron from around 1900 showed up , we think it could be an old hunters shack or farmers shed and not colonial related. :hairpulling:
it was really frustrating as there were stone walls everywhere and walled in pens,fields but not one cellar site. :girlcry: we dicided to leave and as we went down a hill we spotted this .

but we found out this spot had been pounded hard as they only left some small bits of scraps , really strange how its not on any maps and out in the middle of nowhere but someone pounded it hard. :rolleyes: :crying02:
so after the long hike back to the Jeep >:{ we decided to hit the ol' standby site that continues to put out keepers . we were only there for a few hours and i went straight to the field that had a hot spot last week (where i found my 2 cent coin) today was about as good there . a few buttons , a toe tap , and a couple of coins (a very beat up fat indian , an a 1850 large cent) in the same hole :happydance01: :happydance01:
