Went to this great site this afternoon for the second time. Here's the front view I guess you could call it of the that root cellar

Dan,I brought that damn wheat penny home today.I don't have enough interest in it right now to rub the dirt off to see the date :-)



I found this new homestead just this evening as it started to get dark in the woods.I'm lucky I was able to this pic with it's relatively good sharpness. I have quite a bit of experience with Photoshop so if I can get it half way sharp and exposed half decent I can usually make up for any other problems with the photo.At first I thought it was a springhouse but don't think so although it was directly above the spring.Half of it is below ground level with that lower window almost at ground level.
Interesting enough the house foundation was directly above the spring and this structure by about 8 yards. I later found a well about 15 yards below this root cellar and off to the left. My only find here so far is a wheat penny,bummer. I left it lay on a stone of the root cellar.I found it between two of the rocks in the lower left portion of this photo.
Beautiful location in open woods,very little weeds but steamy hot this evening.

Wow! A very good picture of oldest rock site! Be careful! I recommend that you need two or three or four people walk together than you are alone to go out there. Never know the rock fall apart, because it is too old!

There are so many reports that many peoples were looking inside any oldest houses or any buildings, some things might fall down on people.

It is worth to hunt the oldest coins or anything, you never know what is down there, but BE CAREFUL!

thanks for the caring thoughts Richard.I'm real careful these days,last fall I had an incident with a ladder and broke both of my arms and badly dislocated my left elbow.My arms will never be the same. For the first time today I took a shorthanded shovel with me to dig.I can't take that jarring from digging with a small digging instrument anymore.
 

Billy, I say this every time someone posts pictures like that: if you can, get possession of that stone! I spent 5.5 years hauling stone like that, one at a time, to build a wall at my house. I built a cart and pulled them about a mile out of deep woods. Needless to say, I was in great shape!

I don't know if I missed someone IDing your unknown item or not. :tard: If it is still unidentified, then please let me help. It is an old picture hook used to hang a picture on the wall. Someone on here can probably give you a better idea on age.

Absolutely. Go to a nursery or landscaping place that sells it and see what they're asking.
