- All Treasure Hunting
First off" I would like to thank everyone for the interest and requests for a total rundown of everything I've found 
"right in my own back yard" -, I never really hunted this property before, because I could never get any machine to hold a steady ground balance, this year seems to be different. My new machine? or different ground conditions? 
who knows!...I have 2 maps, one from 1874, and another one from aprox 1853, both maps list different names and different structures being present at different times. Im still comparing names to old military records for this area. So my spare time spent at the library 
and copy machine is starting to get quite interesting.
The large cents are dated 1812, 1818, and 1820, The 1820 large cent clearly shows the 20 over 19 compared to the photo in my detecting bible (red book) I also thought the lantern was an interesting find at 6 inches. It was positioned upwards and i had to dig around and under it to get it out in one piece. All keepable items were found in a half acre area with the plates being found about 50 feet from my door step. Im pretty sure its all cleaned out, I havnt had a solid signal in a week, just the usuall nails and assorted rusty scrap. Ill keep looking for the box plate though. And I just want to thank all the great members who have expressed thier interest in my finds and hope everyone enjoys the clearer pictures.
