Hello Wisconsin people!
Iāve been away for a very long time.
Some of you may remember that last spring, I broke my knee in two places, so it put me out of commissionā¦
Iāve been mending very well, but have a HUGE plate (catching up)
Some may remember me talking about an area that we bought, that abuts the Gandy Dancer Trail, and that an old train station used to reside there.
Well, I wasnāt ready to give that information up at that time, due to our project we were about to get intoā¦(privacy matters and what have you) And, the potential items to be found (historically speaking)
However, our project shifted, and this area Iām talking about, plays a pretty important part of our new (shift) ideas. As a resultā¦an idea came to me to share the whole idea with MDās (where as the last year I felt I needed to protect it all)
Well, not so any more. The long and short of it is, I simply cannot do it alone, period!
(there are acres and acres of it)
The area Iām speaking of has some good history for WI and the railroad. Ergo, āThe Gandy Dancer Trailā
(Google it if you're unsure)
Ok, sorry the post is going to get long (Iāll try to keep it short)
We own a speck of the Gandy where a train stop used to beā¦not for people traveling, but for loading lumber or what have you (so, itās a bit ambiguous) But, as Iāve heard it (and from what I have seen) our place used to be that stop (loading area or what have you)
The area is complete sand dunes now (brush, trees and etc have grown in, just a bit) But people have been using it ever since as a through way, for their atvās and (snow mobiles, walks and what have you), since I donāt know when. (And we have a slip of the river, under a bridge)
What Iām proposing is, to allow any mdās to come here and see what they can find (I donāt care if you come from any other state) But, the fact of the matter is, I just havenāt the timeā¦itās a HUGE area with SO much.
I will warn you, there is so much junk there (I was told from the demolition of the station that was there)
My detector goes crazy! But, Iāve found wheat pennies, a small amount of clad, real old real red glass, a speck of gold, and some pretty wired itemsā¦I just have NOT the time to hit it as it should be though (and thatās the honest to goodness truth) Being I was a cripple all last yearā¦and only got back into it this year, but have only hit it once since! (in fact, just this evening. Itās why I decided to post) If you saw my wee leg, youād understandā¦.lol..it's pathetic. And of course I just am an avid freak about finding good old stuff!
Hit me up through PM or email if youāre interested in mdāing this area Iām talking about.
Obviously there will be some guidelines for detecting it, such as either bagging or piling up any garbage you findā¦but what you find, you keepā¦report or not. But, if you find something way cool (historic on the property) itād just be nice to know and can be documented as such (thatās on āourā propertyā and will be marked as such)
Again, I simply cannot do it alone. However, I will not tolerate folks thinking they can come here and detect, but leave crap aboutā¦just saying!
So ya know, holes will take care of them selves, but ya have to take some kind of of care, BUT, itās ALL sand! Weāre talking all pure sugar sand.
If you need amenities for camping/over night stay, just let me
If youāre interested in this, please just shoot me an email.
This will be by invite only (i.e. after you have contacted me and we srt up a time)
Iād love to pull together a whole WI people gathering and have some fun doing thisā¦but, Iād have to see who responds to this post first.
Iām open to most any times
Just write me!
Regards,
Cherie
