Met up with HEAVYMETALNUT and Todd to check out some Colonial cellars more out my way..:icon_thumright:

The first cellar was slow going but producing Colonial relics here and there..Got 3 buttons in one hole:icon_thumleft:

Decided to find another one on the property and what do you know,dig holes everywhere:unhappysmiley:
So we headed out to find a cellar that has been on my mind for a while:thumbsup:

Well after some brush breaking we arrived on site to our astonishment at the Glorious monster chimney with a walk in Cellar!!

Right away Todd got a Matron Head and i got a coat size Colonial button..After that it was slow going..It is a huge area and the outer walls could produce more..

This chimney had a cellar forgery fireplace or baking oven,one on the first floor and a fireplace on the second floor..Notice the giant rock on and angle acting as a duct letting the smoke go behind the second floor fireplace:icon_thumright:
Also the rock acting as a shelf for the hot pots on the first floor..
The basement chimney foundation blocks look as if they could have been made in a modern factory..They are perfect..

Have fun out there:hello:

Blaze

That's a neat site JB. I like those dandy buttons, especially the star pattern. I have found that other pattern here in SW PA. Good luck on your next visit.

That is a Pewter Colonial handle for a large spoon probably:icon_thumleft:

Hey if you try hard enough you could get blood out of someone with it:laughing7:
