Early 1900s community that burned down- What I've found so far
On my mother in laws acreage she says there were 6 to 8 homes and a store/gas station next to the road in the early 1900s. In the 20s a fire burned them all down. Her home, which was built in the 50s, has about an acre of lawn that I've started to detect on and found some interesting old stuff, like an old flat iron, part of a pot-bellied stove and a belt buckle plate(I think that's what it's called). So far the back part where the ground has not been disturbed for all this time has only yielded trash but I'm thinking I'm not getting deep enough. I'm going to do more hunting for sure. Here is the buckle.
