1851 Home AMAZING what they could do back then :)

[Gare]

This home was built in 1851 Look at the stones. Amazing how they could cut and build with them. This home is in tough condition. I think i will take my Tractor and walk behind brush mower over and help this man out. It is a 2 story home with a dirt floor basement.

This is the owner of the 1851 Home. His first name is Herbert . Herb was born in this home in 1944. His great ancestors built it in 1851 . Can you imaging cutting those stones back then WOW !!!! It would be a great historical place to be saved I just met Herb yesterday and he sure in a very nice fellow. Telling us things he remembered back in the 40's

Bush hog it, detect it, post it. Great gesture on your part to help out the owner on clearing it up a tad.

Does anyone know of any government programs that help with restorations like this.

I forgot me and E-Trac-Ohio and one other person tried to detect it yesterday, I think we are going to try and clean it up and detect it again. E-Trac found a few coins nothing real old . I never found a coin Oh WELL tomorrow is another day 1

It really looks overgrown for any real good detecting.
I can see a bush hog cleaning that up right nice.
I usually do a higher pass when doing the unknown areas (rocks-stumpage) then on the 2nd pass I can mow it right down to the earth if I want.
Nothing is worse than hitting a rock with a hog.
