    Re: I can't find this can you help me?

    Ok, folks settle down. I pass by that thing about 2-3 times a week. It's been rumored for years as a tomb..."the big cement ones", it's crumbling now in total neglect. The site that Mrs. Fury posted is from back in '93... I will have to contact the ELHS to double check, I believe they figured it to be one of those big outdoor baking ovens. I can always call my friend, who lives right next to that property.

    Shane, Mrs. Fury is hunting old cemeteries to take pictures, she is not detecting in them.

    Ace, that satellite image is a cemetery further down George White Road.

    If I head out that way today, I will take a picture.

    Thanks Rat! I hunt for cemeteries but never in them. I would not want to dig up a hand with a ring on it.
