Yes they do. Good hunting and good luck.

I find very few coins around cellar holes, probably because they're an obvious spot to detect. Almost all of them have been done to death over the past 40 years.

Most of my large cents and King George coppers have been found near stone walls (within 10 feet of them). I've found a few in open fields, but going along stone walls will net you the most colonial coinage.

Great Tim, i am heading out later going give near the walls a god going over

 

[Wild Colonial Boy]

what settings do you use for fields

 

[FreeBirdTim]

Unless a spot is really trashy, I dig it all. I use zero discrimination and pro zero mode on my AT Pro. I also turn off the iron audio, which just annoys me. You can always ignore the under 40 signals, if you start digging too much junk.

I will tell you this - when I was a kid and guys would hit cellar holes - they all used to hunt maybe 30-40 yrds around the cellar holes
and that's it - back then people owned 100+ acres around their houses but up here most are over grown - areas that were clear
cut back then - are now forests again - but large percentage of those holes -the farm land way out have been untouched
I know of a few guys that have ventured out away from those holes now - finds are few and far between sometimes - but
know of some awesome finds too found 100 yrds away from the holes ---also hunting follow the stone walls can be good -
once again up here we have like a million miles of walls - and it takes a lot of hiking - but know of a few guys that have pulled
some nice finds way out - you got to have the health and the time to go all day and many times you might get nada
but all it takes is one good find to make your day

most likely places to find coins at cellars are front yard, where ever they parked carriages, clothes line area, and between well/outhouse and the hole. At least this has been my experience.
