Default Got up early to beat the heat.

Headed out to a new spot. An old house, been in the guys family for 125 years.. figured it to be a great spot.

I found 3 Lincoln pennies in 2 hours..... go figure...

I checked and rechecked the detector figuring something was set wrong. There was just nothing to find. It was even clean around the old barn!!!

Man, this family had to be the neatest family in history.....

I had a day like that my last time out. I even changed the batteries but no help. Sometimes there is not much there I guess. HH

Not trying to sound disgusting, but a house that old had to have had an outhouse in the early days....good area for lost coins if you can find where it used to be...

I've done something like that before. I don't know what it was, but my first trip to this place was fruitless. My second was better and my third was outstanding. Maybe a ghost had to get use to me or something.
Keep going back, its there you just haven't put your coil over it yet.

Maybe you can find the old place where they used to hang laundry to dry? Go around some of the really old trees, too.
