Amazing find at old homesite

[diggyboy]

I was looking around a nearby town for places to detect and saw a marker with a big fence around it. I walked up to the marker and read about how the first residents of the area had lived in a house in the fenced off area in the 1700s. I took my detector out and scanned the outside of the fence. After about 15 minutes I found an ancient belt buckle with a tree root growing through it. I think it is pretty cool that it could have been worn by one of America's early settlers. The marker also had the family members names on it and how long they lived so I will try to figure out who this could have belonged to.

You may as well find out who owns it and get permission to go into the fence. Because if you're like me you will not be able to stop thinking about what could be in there lol. Especially since you got a little taste of it. Nice find =)

Ya and I found that before I got my propointer im going to have to check it again

If there is a historic "marker", then it maybe registered on the historic societies list, and probably off limits even with some distant family members permission that had relatives from there.

No It is not a historic marker it is just a rock engraved with the families information. I respect the law and would never check by actual historical markers
