    So i found this cellar hole while i was helping someone on here with this Need help interpreting LIDAR post. Karma actually working, hurray. I was showing what would definitely be a cellar hole. Using imagery of a known abandoned 1800's town site. When all of the sudden i noticed this other...
  2. Potential sites for people in VT

    These are potential sites, you still need to find out who the owner is and get permission. They might be in a state protected preserve and you could never get permission, I don’t know. You have to do the rest of the home work. All I know is they are in the woods and look very interesting. I...

  4. Salamanders🦎, spoons🥄 and bee stings🐝

    Decided to take the long way back from the newly discovered 1700’s cellar hole(red). And wandered into the back yard and orchard of the last house on the old road(yellow & 1800's) one of the dangers of having headphones on and listening intently is you can’t hear the bee’s nest you must of...
  5. Update #2: My first Colonial show buckle.... I discovered an unknown cellar hole! Pewter rat tail spoon?

    Updates are at the bottom of this original post. 👇👇👇 While scanning the lidar of previous permissions one day I happened to see this tiny depression(red circle) I knew it was a long shot but I hoped it could be an old house site. I made the trek yesterday. This old road which can be seen...
  6. Update: There was a cellar hole out there: Bells, buckles, a baby’s ring? & baby’s first axe!

    Update at bottom in form of comment👇 had this marked as a potential site, from searching around my area on lidar. Did some more research on it last week. I also drove by to realize it was public property, so I went out there yesterday early afternoon and stayed until dark. It’s a lot bigger...
  7. ✅ SOLVED What are these structures inside of cellar holes?

    3 of these structures inside a really nice, large cellar hole. What are they? Root cellars? Storage areas? Why have the stone roof, when the floor from the building would have acted like a ceiling in the basement? Has anybody see these before or know what their use was?
  8. So do i track down the living relatives?

    I had about an hour to kill after work Friday. So i tried to think of a place i could go that didn't require a long hike in the woods first. One of the first places that popped into my mind was this old house foundation right next to the road, in the town i grew up in. Local legend says there...
  9. Are these more civil war finds? And what the heck is this?

    So these are all from my abandoned town site still. Where there was a village from 1800-1940. #1 is from the woman?s house site. Where I found the stamped brass picture button. I think it?s only a piece of whatever it was. But looks like it has some holes for a pin. So it might of had a hinge...
  10. Any idea if that’s a key still in the lock?

  11. 1885 Silver Coin

    1858 Silver Coin I’ve been revisiting an old Southern Maine cellar hole for about a week and a half. I was pretty sure the site was 1800’s and and after today I’m absolutely sure. First time finding silver!

  13. Need help to ID..

    Good morning, found this brass relic yesterday at a very old cellar hole site. The site dates back to early 1800's as per old maps and history of area. The cellar hole is a depression in ground, and has stones, fallen chimney stack, etc. I could not stay long to dig at site but I was lucky...
  14. Cellar Hole Button

    Hello all! After detecting an old cellar hole site in rural NY (which I think it may be 1750s - 1800s), I came across this dome button. Now, I really know nothing about buttons, and I think I ought to learn something about them. Anyway, what would you say the date on this one is? It is marked...
  15. Humbling find at colonial cellar hole

    Today I went back to my family farm which has about 1900 acres to one of the largest cellar holes on it. I have been told that at this particular foundation, the British during the Revolutionary War, locked relatives of my family in the house and burnt it down. I found this item today in the...
  16. Good finds at Stage Coach Stop

    My family farm in North/Central NJ has multiple cellar holes throughout it (1890 acres) but one I just hit for the first time today. I have been told that this particular foundation is what used to be a pre-colonial stage coach stop and was burnt down by the British during the Revolutionary War...
  17. Partner to dig a cellar hole?

    Okay... I *never* do this but I have to now to get this done. I have R.A. (Rheumatoid Arthritis) which makes me function like someone older than 47. I'm normally pretty chipper and can push through it but it's getting harder and harder year after year and it's getting more and more noticeable...
