Cellar hole-ing today - research paid off.

[TrpnBils]

Out to a cellar hole today. I originally found this house and four others nearby on a hand drawn 1876 map. There was also a sawmill there at the time but I don't think that's what this site was. Produced an 1854 braided hair variety large cent, a Max Minke ladies' silver pocket watch, and this cool ball valve.

Well done on all your finds.
That is a nicely designed gas valve.
Congratulations
