I have been posting in Today's Finds what I have uncovered at this farm house/homestead earliest I can find visual is on the PA centennial 1876 survey map. Almost 30 coins pre 1964, earliest IHP and Barbers from 1890's. A few interesting period relics, but not many. Four 2 -3 hour hunts so far.

The pics below show the property transformation over the century and a map of my finds.

I need your experience . Let me know which strategy to take:
A. Expand search in open non junky areas of woods
B. Attack back yard trashy areas
C. Explore carriage house / driveway area
D. Attempt to search inside the foundation (I guess sift through nails and dirt)
E. Keep pounding directly in front of foundation and around pathway, start digging iron signals
F. Other

I cant select, All of the Above, as I always have limited weekend time to hunt. Thanks in advance!!!
