What is under the ROCK?

[moholedigger]

Last weekend I was hunting the foundation of an old trading post (1840-1850) when I found an old stirrup and part of a wood stove. About two feet from this signal I got a real good penny dime signal about three inches across and 3-1/2" down. Hmm, okay. Well I stuck my shovel in the ground maybe a 1/2 inch and hit something solid. Turned out to be a rock. A large rock. Probably two feet long, foot and a half wide and three to four inches thick at the end I could see. Couldn't budge it with my shovel as a large tree root had grown over the top of it.

Tomorrow... I'm going digging. I've been waiting all week. I'll keep you posted.

HURRY and get back! I can't wait to see what you find!

Yeah, definitely let us know what you find... interesting that you'd get a signal underneath such a large rock.

If the cellar hole and well were filled in years ago--and the dirt was disturbed at all, it could be almost anything under that rock.

I just found an 1800 Capped bust LC under a rock last sat. Only mine was a little easier to move. My brother in law dug 2 seated dimes from a spot in NY under a bunch of rocks, so I SAY DIG!

The rock may actually be what you detected.

LOL! That would suck!
I hope it's not a beer can!

Digger up.......I found a dollar signal under a large flat rock in a 1879 church yard about a year ago. Perfectly groomed lawn too. It was a shame but It's still there haunting me. Good luck

It's a little metal plaque that says: "Peace on Earth".

Ok, simple solution call in sick & get to it, why would you wait?!

Probably just the digging tool of the last guy that tried to move the rock.

We GOTTA know bro...you can't tease this crowd like that...

Or, it could be One Tin Soldier

 

[prolab69]

or it could be a bottle cap,....face it, we`ve all dug to china just to read YooHoo

 

[texan connection]

I hope its somthing cool, We dug a signal like that at the LBH it turned out to be a old cooper can lid took about 30 minutes to dig out

It was a metal plate of some sort. Plate size. Has a rim on the outer edges. Has a "base" (smaller round area to sit on) on the bottom. I'll try to get a picture up soon.
I was really disappointed. Old site. Lots of iron, but nothing.. interesting.

Not a very good weekend. Hit an old homesite and found nothing but beer cans (corner of a plowed field now) and a few round metal rings. Two fence posts, let's see... a couple of rivets still riveted together but with nothin' in the middle.

Then went back to the old school site and hit a disc off of a (discer?) tractor. Part of a spoon from Oneida (mfg. 1920-1954). Looks to be silver plated .. over copper maybe?

Not one coin.. not one tax token.. not one .. halfway cool thing... kinda bummed me out.

At least it was not a bottle cap.
