At least a little older stuff is being found, which is promising that there may be better things to be found there.
Cool stuff!

--the "lot" is by a sea port area that goes back to colonial days ****there was a large fire in the area in 1859 * that burnt all the wood buildings in the area -- the city fathers had a code after that that buildings in the port / bussiness area had to be made of brick * the area was rebuilt just in time for the civil war * to break out --the area housed first confederate then union troops in the "new" brick home *--- later on various people lived there till the 1950 /60's time frame at which time the lot went to blight and house was tore down -- the lot has a lot of possiblity -- everything from english (1763 to 1783) and then late era spanish colonial (1783 to 1821) to civil war up to the mid 1960's -- all silver money era *** cool bottles and glass will pop up no doubt as well i'm sure.

since the "lot" is going to be a "park lot"*** soon --(thats why they cleaned off all the underbrush with a dozer ) -- I' m trying to do a bit of what I call "rescue archeology " before its paved over -- my last project of this type was a old spanish mission type indain village area --that is now a "wonderful" country fishing pier "parking" lot .


being I'm hurt badly -- (bad high ankle sprain) I might have to call in my "sith apprentice" to assist me.
