when you think you have hammered all the cellarholes in your area - hit the old dirt roads going to and around them
I made a killing in coins hitting the roads leading to worked out cellarholes - guys never thought of doing them
just think of men on horse back bouncing up and down - coins must have easily fallen out of their pockets
plus being dirt - when there was rain or snow and you dropped something back then - it was gone
Nice finds!

road bed

Thank you Erik, The road is now all farm fields , I found it on a 1870 map , by looking at it it just appears to be just a field but if you dig down about 5 inches there is a bed of oyster shells , so far I have gotten tons of buttons and a few nice coins , so I look forward to going back there soon.
