working a celler hole

[perry2]

I have posted 2-3 posts on this site and the findings but I'm interested in thoughts on working a site like this //
this started about 1807 with a Tavern on one of the little lots (so far no evidence of it ) then a shop/store in the middle (¼ acre lot) about 1829, then a house?/ up to about 1850. The house and shop were about 50 ft apart +-. stone lines everywhere --
Now only some stone work, and brush/trees all over.
Items found so far: the 1830s coin, 2 ax heads,1 adz, one light adz or grub hoe, a Black smiths fuller tool, some lead flashing // nails.
I see NO evidence of any bottle or MD work . So today I set off (by eye) about 10x10 ft and went over it very carefully/ dug 3 30-45 signels to see what they were (1 ¼ in hand made nails)
then a 81-81 after wiggling over it about 20 times—dug a pc of flat steel about 2by 3”at 6” dn --like a pc of hoe blade -no clue--
What to do next ?? Perry

I'd be going home for nappy poo time and would be dreaming of all the wonderful things to be found.

I'd start griding around the store and house remains! Sounds like a great place to hunt!
Best of luck!
