Hunt at a 1770 mill and home

I'm willing to bet there is still some virgin ground at the mill - under the old mill stones. Of course moving them may prove to be a problem.
 
That Mill site could be hunted for a long time. The previous hunters could have done you a favor by removing the big trash. I would hunt there in sections and take my time. You might not have a tremendous number of good finds, but what you find could be very good. I would take that over mercury dime territory any day.

If you could have lifted them, those mill stones would be a cool display at home..... ;)

I use my 6" more than the stock coil, especially around old house sites. I love the way it weeds through the trash.

I never used the 6", I traded it for the SEF 6x8 etrac coil and for a 13" Detech black ultimate etrac coil

Nice finds, makes me think there's more there that's been missed! Those millstones are a treasure too. Seems like I watched an episode of Pickers where they scoured the countryside looking for a special ordered millstone for William Shatner, they found one and got some big $$ out of the deal. However, I really enjoyed seeing those in your pics just laying there in the grass, they're awesome looking things, and it's amazing they're still there.
 
Great photographs. Just looking at that area makes my detecting finger twitch.
I can hardly wait for this winter to end! Thanks for posting.
