Went back to the 1836 homesite to see what I missed

[crazyjarhead]

Went back to the 1836 homesite of JA McDonald that I pounded last summer. This site has produced 12 1800's IH, 2 LC, a little silver and tons of cool relics. It rained most of the night here in Ohio and showers all day. I was able to get an hour in before I got washed out. I was able to squeeze out another IH and a shotgun shell end. Been finding lots of these lately. I also tried hunting in the jewelery mode instead of the coin mode which I have used most of the time. This place is still wide open for me as it is still for sale. No place is ever completely hunted out. The pics of the house were taken last summer as I didn't take my camera today because of the rain. That sketch I found at the local library is the actual house you see today, minus the front porch and the side room. There was also some kind of railing on top of the house which is also gone. I found Mr McDonald's marker at the local cemetery a few months ago. He was active on the city council in the forming of the town of Woodstock Ohio. He was also wealthy as you can see by the size of his house and 54 acres of land and more down the road where he had more land. Thanks for looking, Ron

My best LC I found last July

Todays meager finds: 1905 IH and an old shotgun bottom

Oops, forgot to ask. Has a Minelab ever been used on that property?.......NGE

My hunting partner Randy has one but he is still learning the machine. He said he wanted to go back over the place in the future.

Nice LC! Seems there's always one more find. Never hunted out totally.

Thanks Brian. I found it last July. It really looks like a mint coin. My best LC ever
