Old FarmSite Finds

[steelheadwill]

Hi all,
Got to hunt all day yesterday at two sites
First was a farm where the buildings were taken down in the 1940s,
(don't know when it was built) the owner has put up a cabin on the site,
and allows people to 'recreate' on his land, it appears to be a lovers lane.
One of the old foundations has a large stone structure in the center, taking up almost half the area, this is the second like this I've seen, anyone know the purpose?
Lots of iron, TTF all the way.
Found a small horseshoe unlike any I've seen
Peru coin in a tobacco tin.
1916 Merc in nice shape.
suspender or sash adjuster with lots of gold.
A couple Rosettes & various door hardware,
BTW, found nothing in & around foundations, everything was scattered in the field and near the well
Pretty interesting site.
thanks for looking! HH
remains of an early car, love that big front wheelhousing

Nice finds

Cool site...The center stones where probably to support the floor beams..

I have come across this on really large cellars with a long span from wall to wall

And being a carpenter it just makes sense

Thanks All!
HMN, they did steal that design, except for silver content, I thought it was cupro till I looked it up
after all the cans, boxes, compacts, banks, & purses I've dug & looked inside hoping for coins, I finally got one!
Blaze,
that makes perfect sense, thanks for that tip,,
HH all!

Thats a pretty area to hunt... Did that Merc happen to have a D Mint mark on it? That would be quite a dime to find...

Thanks for all your replies & info
Busy day yesterday, couldn't get a reply on til now..
I had no idea a 20th Century silver could have this kind of value
My head is full of error coin dates to watch for
1916D Merc "Value: As a rough estimate of this coins value you can assume this coin in poor condition will be valued at somewhere around $1000, while one in "great" shape can bring $30000."
Well, this one has no mintmark.
I do have a 1918D that I may glue on the back
Consolation is that the 1/2 Sol is Silver, if you can call .500 silver
Wallhangers, that coin is a US quarter from another hunt, I used it as a size comparison because it was handy. (I knew what it was! )
Thanks creskol & Okie for the Shoe info
Quindy,
very few would recognize this site, it is not visible from the secondary dirt road that passes the property, there are so many sites in central NH, before 1940 or so, almost all of this area was farmland, judging by the foundations, stone walls, and age of the trees. HH to ya
Art & Worldtalker, Without using the TTF mode on my etrac, I probably wouldn't have dug anything here, Thanks!
Dawg, I do believe you're correct on the 32 Ford, you got skills
Thanks for looking everyone! HH to You
