Went back to the 1836 homesite to see what I missed

[crazyjarhead]

Went back to the 1836 homesite of JA McDonald that I pounded last summer. This site has produced 12 1800's IH, 2 LC, a little silver and tons of cool relics. It rained most of the night here in Ohio and showers all day. I was able to get an hour in before I got washed out. I was able to squeeze out another IH and a shotgun shell end. Been finding lots of these lately. I also tried hunting in the jewelery mode instead of the coin mode which I have used most of the time. This place is still wide open for me as it is still for sale. No place is ever completely hunted out. The pics of the house were taken last summer as I didn't take my camera today because of the rain. That sketch I found at the local library is the actual house you see today, minus the front porch and the side room. There was also some kind of railing on top of the house which is also gone. I found Mr McDonald's marker at the local cemetery a few months ago. He was active on the city council in the forming of the town of Woodstock Ohio. He was also wealthy as you can see by the size of his house and 54 acres of land and more down the road where he had more land. Thanks for looking, Ron

My best LC I found last July

Todays meager finds: 1905 IH and an old shotgun bottom

I would not say that an Indian Head Cent is meager. I would LOVE to find a nice one like that.
Out of all of the old coins that I have pulled out of the ground only one Indian so far.

I say great finds VPR

That's one sharp looking injun! I can just imagine what an 1836 privy might hold. We need to head back to my honey hole or hunt "somewhere" if the weather cooperates this Sunday. Keep on diggin!!

I could hunt that place for a full year everyday and still not run out of ground. Very inviting.

I've hunted that place so much that I don't know what it would be like if I couldn't go back there anymore. I mean, it's become part of me. No buyers yet so I'll keep going back in hopes of one more LC or who knows what

I know what you mean. I have two places like that too that I hunt. Seems like there is always something there we miss.
