Default I'm not suposed to tell.......

But I just had to let y'all know ! Someone very close to me just bought a house and barn built in the 1820's on 11 acres.The place is in need of some cleaning and restoration so the deal is I help do this and have permission to detect.Heak the cleaning and restoration is a treasure hunt in itself ! There is also an old dump in the woods so I'm syked !

PS...Dan if you read this ....Shhhhhhhhhh !

Great news, RIP!!! I think I would have had them throw in some nice cold lemonade, though. That's some thirsty work. I'm very excited for you!!!!!

Default You are the Man

Rip
I agree with you helping with the restoration will provide treasure and then being able to hunt there on 11 acres and an old dump anytime you want is just that goof stuff they put on top of the cake.
Be sure to post those finds one they start comming in. I need some inspiration.
