Look across the forest floor for any lump or bumps. A rectangular ridge line will indicate were a stone walled house or half-timbered barn collapsed. Be wary of old, partially filled wells.
I have found a well. Already tore down the house. Have lots to clean up still. I have stone walls everywhere that were built by slaves. I only have a piece of a very huge farm that stretched 2 counties, thousands of acres in the holler of the Ozarks. It was contracted by the government to feed the poor before food stamps.
