Default Will be shooting a video on Saturday!

Getting out with Wyatt Saturday morning. We're going to an old cellar hole and maybe an 1700's church.
I'll shoot some video of the hunt :)

Good Luck to the both of you, I'm sure the two of you will find some old coins there. Can't wait to see them.

After today's half cent find...I'm chompin' at the bit.

...and Greg...I am going to find out more about the ca 1800 Quaker meeting place I told you about last year. An old fox hunter told me about it.

One of these weekends we really need to go to where that old chimney is....and find the privy. There should be some killer bottles in it if we can locate it. There's a cellar hole there too.

Then we can go to the place where that log cabin that sits down at the schoolhouse was originally located....ought to be something there too maybe....and I already have permission for us to detect there.

I have decided that I want to find some early silver. There has to be some around here somewhere. I just need to stay out of the park.

Great forecast for tomorrow......79 degrees and sunny with only a 10 percent chance of rain.

I'm gonna score a fresh set of backup batteries tonight. My nicads aren't dead enough to recharge.....and I'll be danged if I'm gonna get caught with dead batteries.

Well.....We went to find the one cellar hole and were unable to locate it. But we did locate another one...very old which I spotted from the truck. We looked around there a bit, but there's still too much vegetation and secondary growth to make that place produce much without spending a week preparing and clearing the site.

We went to 2 old churches, and Greg hunted one while I hunted the other. I spotted a blue and white slag glass marble on top of the ground in the lot next to the older church. Seems that , from talking to a fellow who was walking down the street, that site was the old school. He said he found an 1852 large cent laying on top of the ground there once. Problem is.....that site now has a brand new home on it...and the original turf is long gone.

Ended up the day at an old derelict school that was built in 1930...but it was too grown up too.
