I came across an old cellar hole that we're pretty confident is late 1700's. I and a buddy scoured the area with a metal detector and didn't find anything. No glass shards, zip, nadda. I suspect the site might be too old. We did find 3 wells, 2 open the other with a great capstone. I'm dying to find out if there's anything down there, but I'm not going to risk dying to find out. After the water table goes down, I'm going to drop a line to get some idea of the depths, maybe a ladder can be utilized. I don't hold out a lot of hope, because I don't think 'trash' would be tossed into a working well. _____________________________ Norm Miller (in reply to vtspring) Post #: 4
