This past summer was very dry in Erie Pennsylvania and the land that I live on was once a beef cattle farm. The previous owner told me that on dry summers you could see the shape of the barn that was once there. I know that the original settlers were German so I will assume it was a bank barn? My question is , should I dig it up and then detect as I go or would it only be about a foot or so deep and not worth tearing up my side yard? Many giant rocks were piled in my back woods that must have been its foundation but it can be seen and I have driven a metal rod into the ground and have definitely found some sort of foundation that still remains.
Could it have been a basement? I have done some barn research but just can't find good information.
Thanks for any help!
