    Not knowing anything about the lot, I would check first around the foundation, then the back corners of the lot (where kids were likely to go), either side of the front walk, and any area of the yard that may have been used recreatioanally (i.e. picnic, horseshoes etc). Cheers, RickO

    Since the house was built in 1900, it could have had a fence around it. I would look to see if there are any fence posts or signs of them that might still be there. Lots of stories about how folks didn't trust banks in those days and buried their coins in the ground. Ken...The MDH.

    Check all around it.

    Also, you might wanna figure out where the clothesline might have been.
