Today, I found a mystery area on my property. It is an area the size of a cabin or garage that appears to be paved with large iron ore rocks up to fist size. The layer of rocks is about 8" under the ground. It does have some "fill" over the rock "foundation" that appears to be from the 30's or 40's. There are also a number of hand made bricks mixed in the fill material and the rocks themselves. Any theories or suggestions. I'm assuming that multiple structures may have been here. I think the spot had a garage on it in the 1930's to the 1950's. However, I can't help but think the layer of rocks is older. One corner of the area has what appears to be fire bricks that are charred. I've only got to dig some test holes at intervals so I've not done a thorough search. The test holes turned up a lot of broken glass, china pieces, cast iron stove pieces, a chain, and a mason jar from the 30's. I found a 1948 wheat about 10 feet from the area today.
I've never detected this particular spot much in the past, but have recently cleared the brush growing there.
