Well folks, I am still trying to get out and detect more, before the ground freezes and the year is over. That said, I had a couple of hours to hunt my best permission, again.
I have a spot that is (MAYBE) where an old lady (80s and still going) said she had seen foundations and been told about a plantation-house with slave's quarters, when SHE was a little girl (tho I'm not sure I've even found THAT site, yet).
What I have found so far hasn't given me a date, to 'age' this site, and her memory was vague, so this may only be within acres of the plantation-site (the farmer has much, much more land, too)!
What I found in this brief foray was all iron, except one lantern mechanism (to go with the other two I've found before), more square nails than I wanted to dig, a 12"+ long spring(?) with flat, more un-IDed pieces of metal, another buckle, a lynch-pin, some glass/pottery that might help 'date' my site, and the real 'gem' of the day- a GEM stove piece (sorry couldn't resist)!
Any input as to what I found, as far as what it is and/or dates I am looking at would be hugely appreciated!
I had hoped to find much info on the Gem stove, but only a few vague references (probably a Victorian Parlor stove?)- mostly people trying to sell one. Does anyone here know when Gem started making stoves?
Still no coins- which would really help me determine the age of this site...
Keeping digging for the truth, Make sure you VOTE, and God bless America!
