Hi Everybody!
I have been spending many hours lately at different old home sites with little success. These spots are now just empty lots/fields sometimes there is a part of a foundation, other times just leftover rubble. I will dig old beaver tails or shell cases, etc... to get an idea of where the more populated or busier areas of the site are. I spent 6 hours at a site a couple weeks ago, (on 2 different days) and found nothing of interest. On the first hunt there, I found a Bayer aspirin bottle cap from 1935, so I know that there is maybe some old stuff still there, but I only found 2 modern coins. After going back the 2nd day and spending another 3 hours and finding nothing at all of interest, I started to get a bit frustrated. On 2 occasions, I have found old coins after getting skunked the first time at those spots. So my question is: How many hours (finding nothing) do you spend at a site before you decide to move on? Thanks for any replies! HH, Scott
