Default Top Soil!

Hey Everyone in my Lost Treasure magazine that Came with my Ace 250 it had a story about finds found at baseball fields that have had New soil put on top. Well a guy went and detected there and found a 2 cent piece. And then at a park that had had new soil put on top a guy found a knife that was from the indian period! And i remember Last summer when we had Baseball Practice one of my friends was walking to the outfield and found an Arrowhead! so you never know where That New Soil came from! We Figured the new dirt came from the River nearby! Just thought i would let you guys know!

Good idea Dylan... we were just looking at a site this morning that the owner gave us permission to hunt. The owner owns a Sand Trucking Company so they haul top soil. We do all their truck lettering so we got permission to hunt there. We went and looked and alot was asphalt but there was alot of dirt there too. We also passed a few dump sites on that dirt road, in the woods as well. Guess I'll dump hunt some too, lol.
