Now I can hardly wait to take my new F75 out & see if anyone has been there yet. Wish Me Luck & thanks again for the free advice everyone!!! I guess it pays to surf these forums when your looking for info!!!

Good Luck!
One added feature is the overlay feature of GE, which you can put old maps over new, and use pins to mark the historic structures. Then you remove the historic map leaving the pushpins. The example is an 1858 map which led me to the homestead and a half cent, along with some silver finds.
