As we driving back from one metal detecting spot, Doug happened to see this old house tucked backed off the road. It was clearly built in at least the mid 1800s but with no research done this was simply a stop on a whim. After talking to the homeowner and getting permission, we found that the house was built actually 100 years earlier than we guessed, way back around the early 1700s and she owned acres and acres of land surrounding it. Now most of this land is planted with hay, including the spot where the original homestead was, but there is enough room around the big house to keep us busy for an impromptu hunt!

  • @70tdc12s
    I don't know if it was ever a thing to do with lead plate, but that lead square on a loop of string reminds me of the thing that hangs down on a wind chime, or maybe something similar that might have been used to try to keep birds away

    In the early colonial times German settlers did a practice for good luck, like the horse shoe over the front door. They would bury a small cache of coins in each cardinal direction away from the house. While building the house they would often place a cache in the masonry over the front door.
