So over thanksgiving I traveled to see family in kennet square pa. The property is part of the old cedarcroft estate which was owned and built by Bayard Taylor in 1859. I was not on the mansion property but exactly next property behind it, so the site had great potential. BUT, I was trying to hunt with not 1 but 3 electric dog fences, then power lines splitting the property, and security system in the house next door. It was brutal and I did not find a whole lot. I did however find what I believe to be a piece of the lead/silver based mineral galena. Neat crystal structure and very heavy for its size.
Then when I got home I did my usual cellar hole pounding, and came up with some other interesting finds.
The object that confused me the most was all the little pieces to something I'm not sure of. I couldn't find all the tiny parts but it was arranged something like this in the dirt when i found it, and has a patented date of 1878.
