Sunday's Miserable Cellar hole hunting

[RobW]

I haven't been able to get out much lately, Tim sent me a text on Sat asking if I could get out. He and I have been wanting to hit some cellar holes we knew about. So at first light we met up.

Re-iterating what everyone has been saying for weeks...the mosquitoes were ^%^$$%&$ miserable >:#...slow down at all and they swarm you. I could hear them buzzing through the sounds of my headphones they were so loud. I swear someone substituted my OFF with mosquitoes pheromones! lol It was hot and miserable!

After 2 hours and searching a few EXTREMLY POUNDED sites, we couldn't take it anymore.

Didn't really find much: an old saw blade, a spoon, some decorative piece that looks like lattice and seems to be hatched, some modern bullets, and a few what's it's

The coolest thing I found was an old wine stem that had growth in it..see pic below

Hoping someone can tell me what the 4 similar things are in the top of the pic....I know they are nothing, but might be able to tell me a bit about the site...it was the last one we went too and all that was there was an old well, and these seemed to be everywhere...seem to be a nail with a cover? Used on a barn roof?

Hey Rob, sorry about the pounded site Hope they weren't one of ours lol I think the round items may be roofing related. I also think you have a harness rein guides, but the bottom has snapped off. This is the worst time to be in the woods. I agree, them mosquitoes are super hungry and super loud. At least you got out and gave blood too.

Roofing related...that's what I was thinking, but wasn't sure, I am thinking the area was a barn area :thinkingabout:

Them stupid things ring up like a large cent or silver :hairpulling:

Yep Rein guide or Terrett I have heard them called as well. Those things are definitely roofing related find some of those around here and were told they were used on shingled and or slate type roofs, for me they generally come in like a wheat or Indian cent.

[Lodge Scent]

I like digging those terrets, but they do fake me out every time, especially the plated ones that ring up like a silver half !

 

[aloldstuff]

Rob, sorry to hear of you're hunt.....but glad to see that Tim is more available.

I am pretty sure that the metal lattice piece is part of a cast iron bank.
