Metal Detecting Colonial Relics in New York

The outskirts did not yield anything else either. I had one last resort - the earth mound itself, for searching. I knew from my previous experiences that some valuable targets were always left over in the ground that used to be adjacent to the house walls or where the porch stood. That was where I went to and began slowly scanning the soil.
