Got out around 7-- till 8:30 P.M very hot but no shortige of nails, found a broken stove part with some fancy work on it , and a Rim of a Red wing stoneware crock, they made them in Red wing MN from 1877 to 1897 then switched to a white bristol glaze befor 1877 it was david hallum His stoneware is rare and very old I am finding flat stones , but they are not nativ to this sand hill earea its just sand and i found one more arrowhead flake still no coin this sure seems like an old house site in fact its just like the one in the field but older boy would it bee cool if i stumbled on to the privys
 
Hey Gunnar,

to me, finding parts of pottery like that are a good sign of being close to a home site. Especially finding the flat stones that are not native to the area. How large are these stones and are they something that could support / create a foundation? To me, this would peek my interest in probing the area further. I am not clear on your statement about the "sand hill area". Are you speaking as in a physical location ( as in a section of town or your property) or are you stating this is the make-up of the ground where you are locating the finds? Keep plugging away.
 
The hill is composed of sand wich makes the fist size stones to me man stransported. no foundation yet but they may have taken all the stones to build the new house humm
 
Maybe in this area the owner had a firepit and these non-native stones are part of that makeup? A perfect outdoor fire pit area?
