Went looking for an 1800's cellar hole in P.A. & came across a few intersting finds
I came across these few items just walking through the woods to ck out a site for a future hunt. The carriage was seen in the woods on my way to the site with the nearest road being approx a mile away. The shovel and sheet metal were at the actual site. Very cool place. Any ideas of just how old they are? The carriage looks like a piece of old farming equipment. The one piece of steel looks like it was the side of a horse drawn carriage. The shovel was very interesting as it has the most interesting curve where the handle would go. I can't even imagine how they got a wooden handle in there to begin with. Unless it bent and snapped off??
Any ideas as to the approx age. I really would like to date the cellar hole. My guess is early to mid 1800's.
Thanks TNET & HH!!!
