I've been driving by a spot at the park that I've always thought looked like a home site. The other day while searching for something not related I found an online book that had property owners in my county. I checked the park and there was a house in the early 1800's in that spot. I went there yesterday without the detector and looked around. The book said it was a wood house, I couldn't find anything that made it the 200+ years. I did, however, find a pile of bricks that could of been from the chimney. I also found iron that was in the ground that looked like it was the steps leading up to the main door. Today I headed out with the detector. It's a bit of a hike down a ravine. I worked around the area and got plenty of hits, it's now definitely looking like a home site. I walked around to the left of the steps and hit a 12.43. I was getting a good many high hits that were trash so I was skeptical, I dug it and found this... 1809 Half Cent with a 145° die rotation.
