Post number 19's picture is the swimming hole i swam in as a young Free. The little road is locally known as Moonshine alley. Thanks for the pictures from back home.
You should have been detecting the old store site and the town around it instead of swimming ...hahha...you wouldnt believe the stuff I pulled out of there. The old bridge is gone and you cant get there the old way. Went in to the end of Mooshine Alley ,where the old logging camp was also. Great stuff. Took the canoe up river and tons of old places.
It is ok, i did not hunt then. Did you enjoy the trip back home.

You know Gypsy

It couldn't hurt to offer up one sacrifice to the detecting Gods.
C'mon! Couldn't we offer up a Pete sacrifice?
I mean heck! If it didn't appease the Gods.
I'm sure it would at least appease some people in here. ;D

Holy mole
They would not eat one of their own. ;)

I think this thread is so well written it belongs in Marc's Best of TNET right next to the Trail of Tears article. Plus then i can look at the old swimming hole where i had many fun times with the Hoogilan girls.

Re: Gyspy's Ghost Town Hunt 8/15/pics added

Been raining in mornings...90 degrees during day and freezing at night. Mapping is really hard as I zigzag through about 1/2 mile square wet underbrush and waist high grass...plus falling in the river several times doesnt help! LOL. No serious detecting yet as I will wait till mapping done and marking potential sites. And for the grass to die down. They are running bear with dogs right now and the baying is really annoying. We were really lucky to see a bear cross the trail about seventy feet in front of us...but not lucky enough to get the picture. Kind of hard to run with two girls clamped to your legs ,scream and focus a camera...hahahaha.I also hit a great Indian Summer camp about five miles west down river...will post pics in another thread of that .
