this sunday

[bigjohn]

might be the day. got permission to hunt a old farm.(ya i know i havnt come close to gettin this 50 acres done) well this farm is 300 acres.
miss john and i went to it last sunday. mainly drove thru the fields lookin for old cellar holes. followed a real old stone fence line for over 50 acres. then went back the other side cross the creek past the pond and there it was a 1800 house with the out house still standing behind it. no window or doors and trash everywere. old tv's out back. beer cans bottles everywere. then miss john finds some old old masion jars. she dug a little and made a good find //away from the house about 30 yards. i'll let her tell you about that. i just found some horse shoes saddle rivet and pieces of brass? the stone fence line goes within 20 yards of the house. gonna check it sunday.
i usally use the tesero for spot checking cause its lite/and i keep it in my truck 24/7. but sunday i'll take the nautilus and minelab. iuse the nautilus for relics and the minelab for coins.

Sounds like the two of you have found a treasure trove just waiting for you to find all the coins and relics. Good luck when you go and make sure you tell us all about your finds!!

[Merf]

That sounds like a great spot. Good luck hunting it.

Now thats what I call "A FIND" even if you don't find anything, the hunt is going to be great. I could just imagine the pre-1800 relics that just waiting for you. GO GET-EM Big John. Let us know the results.

its all on the weather. if its dry the pickup. with the rake weedeater and md's but if it rains got to use the jeep. i'm plannin to rake out around the out house and check it sloooooowwwww with the minelab. an the back door front pourch,ect. but really want to hit that stone fence line for relics. what we have found brass, copper ect. doest look like its been worked. the stuff we have found is not that deep. the burning raid went rite thru there. sherman? burnt all the farms/not houses just barns an out buildings and took or set all livestock loose to stop mosby from future raids. plus the under ground railroad went thru there. so it might be good.
