Over this last late winter, I received a permission to hunt a property that was a log cabin at one time and they built a house around it in the 1860s. I was eyeing up this one for quite a while and before I knew it, they tore the whole thing down. Here are some pictures of the remnants of the 1830s wood. There were some beams there at one time (before I got permission to be on property) that were about 15-20 feet long in one piece. Those had to be extremely heavy.

Going to post my finds from here in another post (been detecting it for about 20 hours so far).

I am sure we all see this, but until recently when I took up metal detecting did I care for the conservation of historical places. This one in my opinion should have been a museum or a National Historic Building.
