Great post. This site has some great possibilities if the home place is as old as you say.!

We are guessing at least as old as the coin (1799). We will keep digging if the rain ever stops.

Rain finally stopped so we could finish up. Exceptional weather today.

Never did figure out why everything seemed so jumbled up. Found the remains of barrel hoops on the edges though. The hole only went down a little more than six feet. Pulled out another 'Foord' squat. One for me and one for philajdh.

Quite a few acl milks. Only two embossed. The blob shown turned out to be a citrate. Found a few locals not shown. All in all a nice backyard dig.

Great stuff!, did you sift the dirt for more coins or use the detector?
Detector was no help...way too much iron and other metal trash. We did give it a pretty thorough scratching through.

Great dig, love the blobs. It's a bit of a mystery why there was older stuff under them though. I couldn't see anyone leaving those great blobtops behind. Congrats.
