Default New Place to Hunt!

Hi Everyone

I have been working on this location for a long time. The person who used to own this property recently passed away. Based upon what I am told this house dates back to the early 1900's. Based upon my knowledge of the previous owner no one was ever given permission to hunt. I know the new owner and while this place is now posted they have given me permission.

As you can see the house is falling down. However, the land around the house is not disturbed at all so I am hoping there is not much junk....we will see as I plan on hitting it tomorrow and for weeks to come. Any advice would be appreciated.

David

I would dig all signals to clean it out. It's a pain, but you can get the good stuff that's way down when the trash is out of the way. Remember pop tops and rings sound the same...Good Luck and post some pictures...Buster....

Oh Man! That is gonna be fun/work!! Dig it all? I have such a hard time making myself do that. It can wear you out so fast. Take your time for sure. I do wish you good luck, Beale.

That looks like fun to me!! I am hunting a house right now which was lived in back in the late 1800's-early 1900's and finding some great stuff. I wish you much success in your hunting. Please post your findings so we can see what ya found
