LITTLE ROCK, Ark — Hallie Shoffner lives in the Pettaway neighborhood in Little Rock.
Her family was doing some landscaping when they discovered five feet of foundation in what they think are remnants of an old outbuilding. This isn't the first time they've discovered artifacts.
"In the front yard, we found what we think is an old brick garden wall. In the backyard, we found what we think was a foundation to an old outbuilding. We dug down. There were 5 layers of brick," said Shoffner.
