A decent cellar hole/foundation

[Mirage]

Dan and I hunted a couple weeks ago. Per our usual methodology we were investigating potential cellar holes. We finally found a decent one:

The first time there Dan concentrated more on an area that produced lots of wheats and a Mercury Dime for him. Here is what he found:

The second time back he concentrated more on the areas right around the old foundation. He found some neat stuff (sorry no pics).

Here are my finds for the two trips:

Some crusty wheats and an IH:

The IH is pretty beat up:

Found a pill case?

An interesting “Brother” pin. Probably has some age to it.

Back side:

An 1892 Thimble:

Some junk:

A cool cheap old ring:

Dan and I kept finding these octagonal shaped tacks. We wondered what they were. Then I found one pounded into a piece of slate roofing. Also found a couple flat buttons:

Lastly, the other day I had to just do twenty minutes at the LC site after work. Found a wheat penny and this nice old little button:

Cleaned it up and it has some lettering on the back:

I would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Good luck in your treasure hunting in 2010.

That is definitely an early foundation. The more you go back, the more you will clean the trash out and get to the goodies.

Nice overall hunt, Bob! I love the site pics.

There should be some early coppers around the walls. Hit it hard!

Cool site, nice finds. Keep working that site, you'll get to the deeper/older stuff.

I wonder if that ring might be a promo from the
Hartford Insurance Company? Jimbob
