old country store, graves and caddo indian mound's

I got up today and wanted to go hunt arrowheads, but it was to wet icy to go down a dirt road
and i was afraid to get stuck! so i decided to ride around and take some pics of some history in my area
the old store is from the early 1900's and the graves are right out back of the store, they say it was an old stage coach stop
i detected around it before and have found some old money like indian head's and what not. Now the mounds are caddo indian
i have hunted the smaller one and have found some cool stuff in it, but the huge mound is protected and no one can set foot on it.
next time i will have some points to show yall when it dry's up.

Cool Photos......John Long owned the property that the cemetary is on and Nannie Long is believed to be the first person to be buried there....

John Long Enrolled as a private in the Texas Militia Infantry Company on June 15, 1861 at Mount Pleasant in Titus County, Texas. Josh Stephens was the Enrolling Officer. The first Texas State Muster Roll shows his middle initial as L. The name as Jno. H. Long is on the list accompanying the July 27, 1861 Claim for services. He was owed $83.18 at that time. On the second Texas State Muster Roll the middle initial appears to be a “T.” and his age is shown as 20 years. No CSA records found for him.
