    Cellar Hole Hunting With me, King Ferdinand VII, 2 Old Ladies, & 1 Indian

    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!

    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!

    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!

    I can't complain. This makes 16 coppers for the year so far. My best year yet, with so much year left! I am so glad I moved back to MA.

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