Got out to a cellar i have been to before but only got 1 flat button last time..After reading in a book on the area i learned it was a
Rev War Veterans house..He was one of the "Boston Men" and was awarded this land for his service.He was described as a small thin man who possessed great strength and was know for walking rafters on a house on his hands..Was a good size cellar for sure.
I hit it low and slow going in briar a rough areas..
I included a pic of old black and white aerial views to show you how much the stone walls stick out..It's how i find lots of Colonial sites:icon_thumright:

Got 2 smoked coppers

A decent 1802 Draped Bust

Colonial chape

And other relics..Anyone know what kind of tool that is i found..It has small circular fitting in it that slide:icon_scratch:
Felt good to dig some Colonial but im back at it..

Great finds neighbor! That Draped Bust LC looks like an 1802 to me- looks like she'll clean up well. Nice other finds as well!

Hey Jeff how are you..It was one of those times when cleaning it was an awful idea as it made it much worse and ruined it mostly..
