near a stone wall, old cellar close by

[in the woods]

I have been thinking about the post recently about hunting stone walls.
I went to a cellar hole location I have permission to do, that has stone walls (no conincedence there).
But most of this area is woods now, with some fields.
I decided to do the road frontage stone wall as best I could with the foliage sprouting out. Some of the woods you can actually get around a little bit in. Most of the woods here in southern NH were ravaged by the 2008 December 11th ICE STORM!! I was lucky, only out of power 6 days. Anyways, a big thanks to any of you that traveled here to help us during that episode.

I started out and found some copper wire and a few bits of telephone company stuff. Then I got a 1/30 hit, but the tone was right there. So I dug a big plug and re-swung and got a nice 12/46, oh boy! Got the LC 1847 with the hole in the middle. THis was about 250 from the cellar hole. I keep telling myself that it was once fields and that if it was today this would be a great place to swing.

Swang for a little bit more next to a corner of a turn in the wall, and low and behold I got a beautiful, crisp, 12/47. Holy crap, A silver quater, ya baby. Dug the plud and still 12/47, then out pops the crusty LC. Thought I had a great one there. Oh well, it's still great to get an old coin in what appears to be the middle of no wheres.

The button came outa a hole close to the 1847 LC. It ran in with a vump, but at 12/24.

I've found a Canadian 1835 half cent, 2 other Lc's, 3 KG's and a bunch of big old buttons there. I think I'll swing a bit more there, but it'll be tough until the leaves fall.
