Anyways, I found a 1850's school house in a town forest (not the one I posted a thread about, though I mentioned this one in a recent post on the thread). I was doing some research and found a list from the 1800's of 1700's cellar holes and historical sites in that town. It came with a map for reference too (not showing the cellar holes sadly). Right next to the school house, probably visible from the school house, was a military camp that lasted from the early 19th century to late 19th century. Right in the camp was also a cellar hole, abandoned in the 1700's. Around a quarter mile into the woods past the school house, in the forest, is also apparently another cellar hole abandoned in the 1750's. I live in NH so that place is probably the only military place I would be able to hunt, has anyone ever been to old military training camps and found anything cool?
 

The cellar hole is around a quarter mile away from the school house is shown on the map, it belonged to a rich man in the 1750's.
 

The information about the cellar hole mentioned in my above post is correct, but I got it confused for another cellar hole close to the school house from the 1750's. That cellar hole is a little bit closer to the school house in the same direction according to the book.

I plotted all the locations finally, time to got to that place :skullflag:.
