I got out the other day. Some of the ground was STILL frozen. I didn't mind! I was happy to get out!!!! Have off Monday. Plan to go to a "very historical area" to TRY to get permission to hunt. HH all!!!!

I was out all last Sun. I hiked way back to some abandon houses in the woods. Didn't find anything, but could only hunt there about an hour and will definitely be back. I hit a farm field in the afternoon interesting. Gonna try to get out tomorrow at a park here in the city.

i just started checking out my Deer hunting areas last year when i found one was an old early 1800's homestead

Funny you guys should mention it, that is how I found the 2 spots in the woods. Both are my deer hunting spots and I knew there were 1800's homesteads there.

Gohlinghorst is certainly a good old name in Baltimore. I would bet you could track it by going to the court house and searching the public records there. Sounds like a neat find! Can we see a photo when you get a chance?

sorry it takes me forever to get pics uploaded to computer the first pic is the stencil sign and buckle from an old mansion in Baltimore County , the other photo minus the lure ,grommet,rivet , ........is of my finding at an old homestead in Crapo Dorchester County, its appears to be a modern high powered rifle slug ,a possible pistol slug ,and a fired round ball ,this is my guess,the other stuff was found at Sandy Point.

forgot the second pic

Got out for about an hour on Sunday (before the storm hit). I found what I thought was going to be my first large cent, but I'm still not sure what it is (found at an 1800's homestead). I compared it to a LC in my collection and it is slightly bigger in diameter. It has a green patina to it, but I couldn't really pull any details off of it. It was holed in the center so I'm thinking it may have been a large copper button.

I'm going out Saturday morning. Going up to Frederick, MD to check out what used to be a small community but all of the houses have been torn down. Then hopefully go over to a coworkers house whos live across the street from a house that dates back to the mid 1800s. Here is a new site that has a pretty amazing map of Maryland from 1858.

On the maps just click on the county you want to look at and it will show you the county from there click on the district and bam you get a huge high res jpg.

Hey Dual Hunter,

I just found this post. I found a 1945 quarter and a brass snuffer off a candle put outer thingy? Have you got a new digger yet. I got out to a place on Rt. 50 in Easton, old house that is going to be moved. Found a well worn cape button. Keep in touch.

Went out yesterday and finally got my first silver. A 1949 quarter. I thought that I had hunted this site out (produced plenty of wheaties and some clad but no silver), but I can say that no site is really hunted out.
