What a glorious day! I went scouting on the new property (where I work) and dug around but no treasures were found, but who cares; it was just nice to get outside!
Ok, so there is this structure on the property and not sure what it is, any guesses?

No evidence of a hearth or mine shafts. There are a several fairly deep (8 feet) test holes around the structure and lots of old tin cans. Had my hubby take me out there so I was not alone. He sat and read a book while poked around. This is the view from the area.
