Thought I’d never find one.. I just found my second!!

[Kingrich]

I was digging at a cellar hole I’ve been driving by for years and didn’t even know it was there! Spent the day picking through the iron to find some keepers and just as it started getting dark I got a clean signal on my Nox 800. I Dig down 6” or so and there it was.. in rough shape but an incredible piece of US history, a 1785 Nova Constellatio! I found one a couple years ago in an old field and figured it was the only one I’d ever find, I can’t believe I found another! Here’s a few other goodies I found.

I found a 1831 map of my area and it showed a homesite in the general area of these woods. So I did a little exploring and sure enough there it was. This site does not show up on the 1860 map that I usually refer to.
