Weirdest thing you ever found in the woods.

I'm listening to talk radio and the drones over New Jersey and NY are a big topic. Folks are saying all drones are required to have transponders to show their location/owner. Does that include model airplanes? If so, where is the transponder located on model aircraft, and can I use it to see who the airplanes I found belongs to?

It's based on weight, but yes even fixed wing remote aircraft fall under the regulation. But...they are not enforcing it, at least not that strictly.

I guess my question has been answered! That's been a 30-year mystery for me!

On a side note, finding these old home sites is really easy in late February and early March. There will be a square pattern of daffodils blooming around the old house site.

The daffodils are so true! On our lease in Tipton county there is old homesite in a 50x100 yard tree island in the middle of a field on the property. There is only some scraps from the house left but the stone and brick foundation is still there. Flowers all around it still.

And there is an uncapped cistern about 25 yards from the house. Gives me the eebe-jeebies looking down it. About 4 feet in diameter, has water in it about 30-40ft deep. Quite dangerous in my opinion, but my buddy has used it like a toilet before. Said it was comfortable, I think he is crazy and it would be a horrible way to go out.

Where I grew up on a farm south of Bowling Green, KY, two log cabins had stood (they no longer did by the time we moved there). Daffodils still grow in two squares around where the cabins stood. And like you described, there was an old creepy cistern between the two homes.

Took this picture at Cummins Falls State Park a few years ago. House is still standing, but daffodils are there to mark it once it's gone:
