    I wanted a hike so I joined you again Charlie, and enjoyed it all over again. Finding the cellar hole was a wonderful surprise and I hope one day to watch you detecting there and the plateau. The walls are still standing the settlers leaving a trail to be followed. It always strikes me that you are walking in the footsteps of the people who settled there in a new land. Good luck and happy hunting for whatever you can find Mary-Ellen LFOD

    You would of made a heck of a detective. But, you are a colonial detective. I’m with you, I do believe you’re correct in your deductions. You have 3 things going for you. Your common sense, your reasoning, and your intuition. Put them together, and we have a 1700’s cellar hole. Thanks Charlie. Joyce, Connecticut,🇺🇸. ARROW *🎱

    I've been out this week with the hubby driving up in the wilderness near us. We drove 112 miles the one day without realizing it. There are hiking trails and old logging roads, and part of our drive took us along miles of a lava field that no one goes into without proper skills. Too many folks have simply disappeared into it and never been seen again. You can't get gps or a compass reading in it. I have gone into it short distances, but kept in sight of our vehicle at all times. It is beautiful country, but full of hidden caves and lava tubes, so not a place for the faint of heart. I will say the drives were full of lovely scenery of lakes and mountains grand, and we saw several deer with their newborn fawns. The woods were full of bird songs and the air in the fir tree's crisp and clean. However, many of the roads were heart clutchingly scary, as the pavement was sagging and cracked and the road beds sunken and full of pot holes. I could look to the bottom of canyons a thousand or more feet below, (no guardrails), and prayed the road would hold until we passed over it. On one day we stopped for lunch in a small roadside pullout and had a picnic. I love to wander a bit and so took my phone, as I'd forgotten my camera, and went down over the embankment to explore. In doing so I spotted several cave like openings in the rocks, and decided to do a Chigg move and stick my arm in each one and video. When I got home that evening, and was looking at the footage, and came to the last little cave video, what should appear before my eyes but a hidden cache of old tin cans. I was so shocked I nearly fell over. The cans I could see were old tins with a lead soldered little hole in their centers. I knew at once they had to be at least a hundred years old. I got so excited I could hardly contain myself. My hubby and I mounted a return expedition and with great care retrieved the cans from the cave. I went into it half my body length to retrieve one of them and boy was my heart pounding. We found twelve cans in all, divided into two separate time periods. The oldest five were evaporated milk cans with markings of the exact same puncture's in their tops, and they dated from circa 1917. The second set of cans were from the early 1950's, one still having its brightly painted logo intact, and was a Real Gold California Orange Juice Base can. This can was dated to 1953. The company was bought out by Coca Cola in 1961, so the can was definitely a mid century can. The other cans with it were food cans the size of pork and beans cans. Five of those, and one can that looked like an old tuna fish can. What was odd is that the cans were all in a small pile in the cave, not chucked all over the place. The more modern cans had all of their tops neatly cut off and the cut off lids neatly together in a stack. There was one extra lid, what is known as a size 63 Kerr jar cap, but no matching ring. There was no glass and nothing else in the cave. This brought to mind so many questions?! Why did the guy from the WWI period only leave five evaporated milk cans? The road may have only been a trail at that time or a very rugged dirt road, so did he use a pack horse or mule or an old Model T? Was he someone out doing a Geological Survey, or a miner, or someone involved with timber scouting? I don't know?! All I can say is that it was truly amazing to find signs of human activity so far out in the middle of nowhere, and to know no one had seen or touched those cans in that cave for over 70 years. The oldest ones being over a hundred years. Now I truly know why you go out exploring Charlie. It is really a rush when you find things! True, they were just rusty old cans, but if they could talk, just what would they tell? I had to laugh tho, because one of the 50's cans was bulged at the bottom. It reminded me of camp outs as a kid. I remember heating cans of beans over the fire. You had to be careful because if you over heated them the can could blow up. It clearly showed this fellow had over heated his beans and bulged the can.
    Thanks for the inspiration Charlie, and the lovely hike in the woods. Life is good, and you are one of the reasons it is!

    Nice video, Charlie. Have you ever thought about building a cellar hole in your Bushcraft area? Even building a small one would be so interesting and educational!

    There's not much in Ohio as far as 1700's settlements. There were mainly forts in the frontier country.
    By the time the Western Reserve was established we had changed over from parcel wall land marking.
    It's great to see how they built them.
    Thanks for sharing this with us!

Love taking trips with you, as I have nothing like this here in Oz. I can't wait to see you with your detector out there.

    wow...you found a cellar hole way out in the sticks....i know when you homestead a plot of land it becomes your home - i wonder if it is a case you go where can get a plot of land or was there an advantage to homesteading a plot waaaaaaaay out in the sticks. you'll still need goods and services you can't make/do yourself so the further away from town those goods and services become harder to get...i bet people walked a lot back then in all types of weather.

    These stone walls were constructed by the settlers of this great country, with permission from the king of England. Just amazing when you think of it. These walls should be considered World Heritage sites, every bit as important and symbolic as Hadrian's Wall.

    That some serious back breaking work to build a wall and theres thousands of miles of them. I've picked up my share on our Indiana farm, 2 huge piles that took 40 years to make. Its nothing compared to the stacked rocks there. Did they do this in other NE states?

    They were mostly Scottish POW's that were sentenced to transportation to the colonies to be used as slaves and then were granted land.

    Why do the loggers leave so much debris on the rock walls? Isn't there a law to protects the walls, which loggers have to abide by in order to get a permit? Thanks and take care.

    1:49 Question... How do you know they started building walls differently by the 2nd, 3r, etc generations? Is that documented somewhere, or how did you learn it? Thanks in advance.

      More family members, prisoners coming from other colonies after release. Some lesser townsfolk needed to share their land grants.

    Wow what possibilities! I'm glad you took a day off the cabin. Give that body a pump up. Lol I only see what is on the camera. That large wall could be, this is just a thought, it was protection when fighting the Native Americans or they didn't like their neighbors. Haha Take care.

    I don’t know how you can walk through the bush and not get lost. I get lost walking on my own property. Once I had to get a neighbour out to honk her horn so I could orientate myself and get out of the bush! 🤣

    I love going for a hike with you Charlie, I'm just glad I didn't have to climb up the mountain lol. I agree that its very intriguing to know where any cabins could be but you found a cellar hole and congratulations for finding it wasn't easy. The terrain wasn't good up there, I would have felt cheated but they settled in and did the very best they could, all honour to their courage and hard work. The birds calling in the trees in the video has the birds here chirping away, it sometimes happens like that lol. Take care and stay safe please my friend, good luck and happy hunting Mary-Ellen LFOD
