Default Two new sites to check out

I'm pretty excited. I've been talking to a coworker of mine because he just bought an old house near our city park, which is in one of the oldest neighborhoods in our city. They've narrowed down the build date between 1850 and 1878 from historical maps. He said before he digs up the yard for a garden and pond I can check the yard. Besides that, his previous house is over 100 years old too! He said it was the only house standing in that area, which used to be farmland and this was the farmhouse. So, it's the oldest house from that area of town too! I feel like I just hit the motherlode and I haven't even left the driveway! I'm going to shoot for doing both over the weekend. I can't wait to post the rest of the story here!

It pays to talk to people about our hobby. He's also pretty excited to give the ace 250 a swing. He said he's always dreamed of md'ing as a kid, just never had the opportunity. Perhaps we'll have another member!

Thanks everyone!

Should be an awsome place to hunt!, and detect the dirt that is removed too if possible.
