Noticed trend with finding homesites

[FreeBirdTim]

When I'm in the woods, I look for flat, open spaces with grass growing. Most of the woods in my area are covered with ferns in the summer. Grassy areas with no ferns stick out like a sore thumb. My most recent woods finds (colonial shoe buckle, walking stick handle, KG copper) were all found at a spot that had no ferns, deep grass growing and was open and flat. There was no cellar hole and it wasn't that close to a stone wall. But someone definitely had a cabin at this spot at one time. Always look for the signs...

I look for flowers like Iris, daffodils, apple trees, fruit trees etc. My most recent site has fig trees which is awesome! Now I just need to pull some coins if it hasn't been hit too hard to hard
