well, we left around 12 am, thinking it would only be a 2/12 - 3 mile walk, just getting there was more than 8 miles one way, not on roads but terrain. sorry to say by the time we got there we were too exhausted to do anything, like i said we planned for a 3 mile hike, and we packed lite. just foundation was there, plus a few trash pits. i found some glass pieces that dates mid 1800's to late 1800's. and some whole ones from early 1900. so we didnt get to detect, maybe ill go back to this place since it is so hard to reach im sure not many people know of its location. on the way back we bumped into 2 rattle snakes within 10 min. also found a couple nice insulators, i kept them even tho im not a insulator person

Awright then.........................recon that's right up my alley .........umm humm.....I like to find me some them punkin seed flasks....places like that.......umm hmm

[daytondigger]

Any of the insulators threadless?

[chong2]

nope, they all have threads. if i come across a threadless is that good? like i said i have no idea on value of these things

[daytondigger]

Yep, that's good. Threadless, excessive amounts of bubble and unusual colors are good signs.

[chong2]

i got the day off tomorrow, im heading back to the town i found, this time taking a short cut, so ill have more energy to detect. cool thing is i bought a old map from 1916 and its on there i think i may get some nice glass from there also, we'll see what happens, and ill update you

[chong2]

ok, well i couldnt get there, the roads were too washed out.i guess next time i get there ill be riding a quad

[stevesno]

CHONG, YOU HAVE FOUND A SITE WITH A LOT OF POTENTIAL! ANYTIME YOU CAN FIND ITEMS STILL LAYING ON THE SURFACE IN THIS DAY AND TIME BY JUST EYEBALLING MEANS YOU HAVE A VIRGIN SITE. GOOD LUCK AND KEEP US POSTED....STEVE

[TreasureTales]

PLEASE return to the site next year and show us what you find there. This is one of those places that people like us always dream of finding. Take a .22 loaded with bird shot so you can shoot the snakes if necessary and ride an ATV. Be sure to take lots of burlap bags so you can load them with bottles and other goodies. I wanna go too!!!!! WAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

[chong2]

will do, im searching for a good but cheap bottle probe on the net, also i will be making a attempt with a 4x4 in the next few weeks, of course ill keep you all posted
