I'm just learning the ropes but the colonial cabin site that Danny found was a small, very shallow, depression with a small rock pile on one end. The rock pile would have been the remains of a collapsed chimney. Like I said, you could walk right past it and not even give a thought unless you knew what you were looking at.

Congrats on your shoe buckle and pocket watch Donnie Its too bad some one beat us to that cabin site , I'm sure it was the same person who left the lincoln memorial for me to chip out of the frozen mud !

Tony many are either on a graded level piece of ground with a few large stones in a square or as Donnie mentioned with a very shallow depression and a pile of stones at one side where a chimney had stood . Many don't have wells but some do nearby .
