I think that the pipes are copper.... :confused: This house is a moron house. ..so, the pipe type is probably different types in different places. We had to replace the pipe from the well to the house many years ago...so that stretch is now PVC. The closet in the house with the water filters and pressure tank...from the pressure tank to the paper filter is PVC, from the paper filter to the big filter, that spaghetti of pipes is all copper (and is where the leak was), then the pipes enter the walls...and who knows what happens.

My house has three separate fuse boxes. Three. Total moron house.

Impressive on your squishy bathroom.

By the way, after the giant stove refit...how is your back?

I debated a couple times once when we moved our washer and another when we flopped our kitchen going with pvc to save $ but it just didn't seem right when the rest is copper, and I like working with it. I had one connection once I just couldn't get dry, waited hrs, airblew line... At some point when I was young I remembered my dad mentioning stuffing the pipe with bread to stop the 'seepage'?
So I gave it a try, first time didn't work, had to pack it in hard. Then it worked, yay! I bet I had the faucet upstairs open for a hr before the bread softened up and broke free, thought I really screwed up Lol!

Back? Amazing what you can do with a hand cart and ratchet strap, come-along and a long bar. :D
Worst was just time consuming tearing it apart to get to the burner orifices and pilot lights to convert them.

If you can get blueprints of the house/yard from the historical society that might tell you. Slave cemeteries, generally, were near the slave quarters. Most would have fieldstone markers or wooden ones that obviously would be gone. The depressions in the ground would likely still be there, they'd likely be linear like a regular cemetery. You may be able to find a dowser.

This is some info. We think it is probably Marrowbone. Everyone thinks it is Magna Vista, but this says that the house was dimolished on the Magna Vista plantation and this house, while not something I would want to live in, is certainly still standing and was in good shape fairly recently as it is wired fro electricity and had some sort of central heating in it sue to duct work you can see in some rooms and under the house.
