Used my GPS with coordinates from 1892 Topo map to find this one. It is about 1 1/2 miles back in the woods now. Found 2 old dug wells with granite tops. There is a huge foundation and an old barn foundation. From size of trees in cellar hole looks like the place burned down about 1900. Found nearby family cemetary with just couple stones left standing, dating from early to late 1800's, no signs anyone has hunted bottles or metal detected here. Should be a good pontil dump here somewhere. Planning to do more searching this weekend. Should be fun, hope to find something. Picture of East end of cellar hole. It's still about 6-8 ft deep even after the place burned.
