Default Whent to the fort site.....

Whent with my brother.He was installing a chimmny liner for some folks there in Fort Plain.There house is about 100 yards from the fort site and was built on an old spring that was used by the indians and pioneers.
The deal was that i help my brother do the liner then detect the rest of the day.Well a 1/2 hour job lasted all day and i only got to detect for about a 1/2 hour. But the folks are some very wonderfull people and I've been invited to come back.The owner 'Pete' had an old detector that i helped him fix (battery terminals were all crusted) And i will be going back soon.Pete has some realy cool stuff that he's found in his garden and even found a beutifull 4-5 inch arrowhead in his driveway.I took some photos for y'all ! The belt buckel is 1 of 5 that he's found while diggin in his Garden.(need to ask Pappy about that one ) The others are of a spring from the fort site.The other is my view for the day
