I am a first time owner of a brand new Ace 250.
A few years ago, our town suffered a flood. Experts call this a 500 or 1000 year flood.
Sadly, the flood destroyed a large number of homes. These homes were in areas no one thought would be prone to flooding.
The city has been buying these homes, especially in one area, and has been dismantling them for reuse or recycle. Each home is being de-constructed board by board. It is amazing how much material is being recycled, including the stone drives, cement, blocks and bricks.
Many of those lots are empty now, with just square holes where the foundations were. The city is suppose to bulldoze those lots and grade the surface dirt, and turn the area into a park.
The area that I am asking about was developed mostly in the 1940's, with further development in the 1950's. I am told that this area was a farm, and the original early Italianate farm house still stands, which was built in the 1870's.
Is it worth the time to detect these sites before the city brings in bulldozers?
Should I try to detect before and after the bulldozers come?
