Went out to scratch around in an area located between an old 1830's church and General Neville's original mansion who was the revenue collector for the whiskey tax that incited a 2 day rebellion in 1794. As I was wondering thru the wilderness, I came across an area where high waters had washed away the bank exposing layers of black dirt, old bricks, a shoe sole and some pottery shards. I grabbed a sturdy stick and started scratching at the bank wall and out rolled half a hobbleskirt Coke embossed Steubenville, O on the base. I also found a small piece of an aqua TOC soda with "HO" embossed in the lower left slugplate. Realizing this isn't much of a story and it being such a beautiful day, I went back and grabbed the camera . . .

Here is a view of the dry creek bed where I started my journey . . .

This would probably make for a pretty waterfall in the spring . . .

This appears to be a natural sidewalk along the right side. Note how flat and level the rock is.

Here is a foundation of some sort, though not real early due to the yellow brick, but only appeared to be an extension over the embankment like a porch or something, but not set on a sturdy foundation. I couldn't find the back side of it.

This was beside the foundation. It's difficult to make out but it has beveled sides and a cap that is bricked and cemented over like a cistern or a vault[8|]

This is on the other side of the creek, perhaps the privy[:D]
