Cellar hunt produces Civil War,coins buckles..

[johnnyblaze]

Got out to an area that has 3 Cellar Holes in it..Expecting it to be totally pounded out i was surprised to get a buckle right away

I walked by the first cellar 3 times before finding it..Right on the side of a main walking trail
Man those things can hide..I only hunted the first Cellar on Monday for about three hours..
It is in pretty rough shape..

Scored a General service Civil War button
This is big around here they hardly never pop up.The thing that is cool about this is the name on the 1870 map just may be the Veteran of the Civil war who lost this button..Time frame is just about right
I found it in the privy area.Probably lost it while taking a s**t..

Got a smoked KG and Lagee as we say it..Or a couple Coppas

The strange coin or button has a date of 1797..It is much larger than a regular coin..I dont know what the heck it is..Looks like somebody carved into it??
It was the year Washington resigned it could have something to do with that i thought..

This Ram head was probably the front door knocker..It is way to heavy for a draw pull..I think

Some cool buckles and a nice decor ladies type buckle..
The long thin buckle had gold gilt on it and i have never found one quite like it..

Have fun out there

Blaze...

Nice finds Johhny. Wonder what that coin is? Great buckle and congrats on that button. I will take a hunt like that any day.

Very, very nice finds there Blaze. I believe that the rams head is a pull for a old double door wardrobe. It should have a metal ring in his nose to pull. I have an old wardrobe with one of them there pulls but it's a bull instead of a ram. I hope you find some more goodies from them cellar holes. Goodluck

That area may have been pounded out, but by people with far less quality MDs than you. There are a few areas around me that I've considered to be hunted out, but you can bet that when I get my upgrade I will be revisiting them.

i know what you mean about those hiding cellar holes. i actually passed one a bunch of times, but one snowy winter day last year i went aimlessly looking for cellar holes and there it was 5 ft off the main trail. it isn't big only about 15x15ft and really really really overgrown with juniper and poison ivy impossible to properly detect, probably an 1830s-1850s log cabin but only detected it once and only junk finds. you seem to have better luck with quality cellar holes with those sweet finds.
