Even though it was freezing cold I still managed to get a “fatty” and two buttons a clay pipe fragment and a colonial capt America shield made of lead ? Buried deep any ideas ?

There were 2 1700's taverns on my hunt club property and I can't seem to find them. Trying to overlay an 1825 map that shows them on it with new aerial photos with no luck. Congrats on the finds!

When I look for old homes I look for trees that seem out of place that may have been planted by the owner dont know about a taver but it would seem if you dug everything just to see the activity you might be able to find it that would be alot of fun to look

the alleged tavern spot and area were cemented in the early 1900s for the animals and barn where they say the tavern was (writings from rev war he used it as temp headquarters ) isn’t where I’m finding the stuff it’s close but on the opposite side of 18 th century road here is a pic of the stone foundation of alleged tavern it was a barn u til the eighties when torn down the inside Is cement floor I believe and behind it are numerous rectangular cemented structures that were used as animal pens /shelters so I’d have to have concrete taken out which sucks cause there is so much history u see it I’m sure to the right is the old road and the. The open area where I find old keg tap n key buttons inc a rev war button coins horseshoes iron musket sling buckle shoe buckle n parts but there should be more it’s killing me no silver here yet either which is weird
F0D1F2C4-BB93-4334-A3B4-DEE943B4D5D9.jpeg the right side at top of photo was the tavern the rest of the right is all concrete the left is where I find everything and no concrete half the road in the picture (upper half ) is concrete under the dirt
