Here's some more of the pics I took. The first one with the pile between the trees is an old well, someone covered it with some branches and broen concrete to keep the unknowing from fallin in.

Second picture looks like the remains of a horse drawn riding plow

I wood rather look at pictures like those than the new machines I can't understand

I showed my wife the picture of that riding plow and she thought it was a steel trap of some kind...

I mentioned the other day about old wells when some one posted a picture of an old house and homestead.

I would carefully exacted that site keep good records take lots of pics you could find almost anything down there also open well and check it for depth and if anything is in it. Then fill it in solid.
These old sites can be nothing or a gold mine in old antique parts.

Ps get a very good metal detector you wouldn't want to miss a valuable coin.

I assume this is an old abandoned farmsted, any traces or remains of buildings? It must be remotely located as the scrappers haven't gathered up the goods.

no traces of foundation. This is land the state bought many years ago and is open to the public for hunting, hiking etc.. It is a very large area and these spots where the implements and old dump are pretty far back in so most folks don't venture that far back. Not sure how deep the well is but I assume one would need permission to remove anything.

Locally, that place would be stripped bare of any metal in a day. Local scrapyard runs radio commercials 24/7 "If it's metal it's money".

Bet there'd be some fun there with a metal detector.

no vehicles allowed. Parking area and then walk in (or horseback) only. Most of this stuff is a good mile walk if you walk straight for it. Even few hunters go back this far because there is so much hunting area before you get to this point. Years ago this woodlot stood out but now there is heavy woods/brush on three sides. 4th side is open land that presently is in hay but often rotated between corn and soybean. My understanding is farmers used to bid to farm it but one of the requirements was leaving X amount of crop in the field for the wildlife.

Where is this area? What state? One reason I always ask permission to hunt is because of old wells. I want to know the dangers--not discover them on my own.
