I got permission today for a home site where the original house is still standing. It was built in 1800 and saw some Civil War action. The legend is the residents at the time stood on their porch and watched the soldiers march by. The house is vacant now most of the time but used on the weekends sometimes so I can only go during the week. I went for an hour tonight and found this 3 ringer in the yard along with what is assumed to be a back to an old drawer pull.
I haven't done a site like this before and want to maximize the potential for my time there. Given the following features, where and/or how would you hunt it?
Old home has a porch on the front about 2ft off the ground but has been redone not too long ago
Medium sized yard edged with trees (1/2 acre 'yard' surrounded by 150 acres of field.
Down the hill is an old spring, now grown in with cat tails (allegedly old watering trough for livestock there)
Pond about 1/4 mile away with mowed path past the spring to it. Not sure if pond is natural or how old it is
