Thank you all for your replies and advice. I tried out this new location today. Spent about 2-1/2 hours. I do not want to say it was a bad hunt. Was not great but I think I was more surprised then anything.

Near the house and the yard around the house I found very little junk and really did not have that many signals to dig. I did find some iron, a bottle cap and a .22 caliber shell. Away from the house in the front yard but no where near the immediate house I found an old chain and a 3 ring civil war bullet. I do know that skirmishes were supposed to have taken place all through this area but I just do not think this house is that old. I did find a modern penny and a wheat. Surely, I have alot of hunting left to do. I am just not sure what I will find around the house . There are fields close by and I am now wondering if there may be more relics in that area as well.

We will see. Thank you all again. I have a new vaquero coming this week so I will get to try it out! Cant wait!

Hey david the CW bullet is sweet, and wheats are always good! I like the chain also. The Vaquero is a Deeeep hunter from what I hear.

Good luck with this whole area and the rest of the hunting, Beale.
