ok guys........talked to the owner, I am pretty new so I know I missed a lot at this site, used Etrac and Garr 2500 today, the owner told me a Revolutionary War Veteran built this house and it is situated in historic Oneida Castle New York and is present in early 1800 maps of the area...........I found nothing but indian heads near the well pump............the home was a working farm and has stayed in the same family for years.........the owner told me if I wanted to bring someone to the house for further exploration he would welcome it as he wants to see what it will yield also................let me know if you are interested......please note the indian heads were soaked in lemon juice and these pics are after they soaked for a while, which leads me to the question if I should be doing that, anybody know? Can anybody tell me what the round thing is with the coins and any ideas on what the relics are besides the obvious nail..............

Would love to hunt that site with you. I'm about 45 minutes west of Syracuse. Maybe we could arrange a hunt.

That's an awesome haul! Im happy when I find that many wheat pennies. my grandma lives in herkimer, I'm going to be up there in a couple weeks, I'd be happy to make a pit stop to detect with you! If there's that many wheats there's gotta be some other great coins and relics too. Congrats!

If ever got "nothing but Indians" I'd be nothing but overjoyed ! (don't know that I'd use something as caustic as lemon juice )

I probably wouldn't be doing that with the lemon juice, but nice finds!
