Surprise behind my house!!

[Dark1one]

Hey Everyone!! I've had a interesting day. I downloaded Google Earth so I could play around with it and I'm glad I did.
ilIm gonna show you what is right behind my house, hopefully someone can help me out with this. My house is going to be the blue dot.
I was gonna go up and have a look see but it's been pouring the rain all day so I decided to go explore behind my grand parents house. I found a few thing, I could use some help in identifying if someone's interested in checking em out.
Anyways I've lived at this address for 40 years and never knew this was on my property!!.

Where are the photos of the things you want to have identified?

I’m guessing the OP is excited about something that is visible on those map shots. But I don’t know what it is. 😊

I think it might be those odd shaped clearing behind the house the OP is referring to.

Old creek beds or old river beds or indian mounds.

They do look interesting to me.

In civil war areas, they could also be trench lines or readouts....

Old firebreak?

These are what I need help with please

All look like cemetery/graveyard items. The stone looks to be a burial plot corner marker to identify a family plot boundaries. The other appears to be an urn for grave displays.

First thing is a modern paver. Used for hard scapes, outside. Other thing just looks like a modern pot to me.

check for cremated remains in the pots or brass or copper name tags as well in the area where you found them.

Ok, I did find some graves today

Sounds like you found an old cemetary. Depending on what state you are in, there are organizations that track and want folks who find these types of cemetaries, to contact them so they can be tracked and taken care of. When I lived in N Virginia, i reported a couple graves that I found in the woods while I was relic hunting to one of these organizations.

I live in southern Ohio, who would I get ahold of to report this too.

I would ask at your county courthouse. They should know who to involve.

I would call the county division of cemeteries. I would also call the local historical society, they have the best leads. GFood luck and tell us what happens.
