New site, 5 different large coppers!

[pa-dirt_nc-sand]

Got lucky on Sunday… I had a site in mind from the 1862 map deep in the the park woods. Lidar had a corresponding anomaly. Made the trek, found the cellar hole but was obviously too large and lots of more modern 1960’s metal strewn around, probably a mining operation. So expanded the search to where water would have been easily accessible and started to see old brick chunks coming down from a flat spot above a shallow ravine. Immediately started getting good signals and the first copper popped shortly after. Best day out this year!

Great day.
What is the red squared thing you found?

Great day.

The remains of a cellar hole that he'd marked on a LIDAR map.
Probably edited with a brush instead of pencil which explains why the square mark is so bold.

Congrats on the great background research of the area, your finds are the proof it was worth your effort!
Love the holed LC, do you think it was a button or a kid's 'Whizzer' toy?

Thanks for the ID, I knew it looked familiar but the hadn't kicked in yet.
Great mitt full of buttons also.
Is the site iron heavy or pretty quiet?

Lots of iron around the cellar. All the targets are really deep here, like 4-8”, so chasing the faint high tones often end up as globs of iron.

Well it certainly looks like a return hunt is in order to sniff out a possible silver lurking in the iron.

Nice finds and awesome method of locating the spot. I’ve been using google earth for years but need to learn how to use this Lidar thing.
