Stone Walls and Cellar Holes

[swizzle]

Just curious? How many of you have actually found caches in stone walls or in cellar holes? In general where was the cache found? In the stone wall? So many feet from the stone wall? At the end of the stone wall? In the cellar hole or fireplace? What distance from the cellar hole if found outside? I have a stone wall I want to check out. From the satelite photo it appears to be over a mile long. It has a very distinct half circle cut through the landscape. Also at the end(or beginning) of the wall there appears to be a large oval loop (still part of the stone wall). Where would one begin a search?

You can find small caches in the cornes of some cellar holes. Along the fence lines you can find "stuff" usually in the back sections of fence behind the dwellings. We have found small caches in both areas. Also, for good luck, some of the new pioneers who settled the east and built homes, would bury coins approximatly 4 feet from the corner of the home. Also, be sure you locate the garden area. We have found mini caches "granny Caches" buried there. Sometimes coins were in mason jars, sometimes they were buried in small metal cases about the size of a pack of cigarettes. Remember, many of those people did not have much in the first place. So the likelyhood of finding a huge stash is unlikely. Please visit www.exploringhistorystreasures.com and view the "trailers" to our TV series Ghost Towns Of The East. Good Luck!

Hi Jason, thanks for your interest in the Ghost Town series. The series was filmed in New York, however, if you've seen one eastern ghost town, you've seen them all. Basically they are "holes in the ground."

The VHS and DVD series will be priced at around $20 and will be available in late January. Keep checking the website for an announcemnet. Thanks Again!
