Default Got a go-ahead!

Finally, the stars aligned, and I'll be hunting this house tomorrow morning!

It's a house, built in 1909, that a group of people in the neighborhood bought to save from demolition...

My mouth is watering already...

Nice place...If the floor has gaps between the boards and ya aint afraid of snakes crawl under the house...some of my best silver coin finds were at a place like that....coins that were never exposed to the weather after falling between the cracks!!

Nice site Robert, I agree, look under the house. Probably no bottles there anymore, but still could have some goodies.
