Default Old town emerges from receding lake

Sounds like a great place to find some silver.

History comes to light as lake falls

I can only imagine what you could find there. We have a quarry near me that was a dumping ground for cars and a reservoir that a couple of firearms were found in. I think it would be a great place to detect!

If you have any friends in Gainsville that hunt you should call them and have them check it out.

Great idea, With the summer droughts the lake edges might be a good place to hunt...
