Didn't find this with my machine, but WOW! How cool is this?

I found this image in a local image archive. It is a map made by a student of my local school district circa 1910. It was a project of some sort and he mapped out all the schools in about a 20 mile radius of the valley I currently live in. At the time they were all single-building if not single room schools.

Most of the road names are still the same and I located every one of the sites today. One site has the modern HS now on site. Only one of the original buildings is still standing. What an incredibly cool research find, eh?

'What an incredibly cool research find, eh?'

was, until you posted it on the web

PS. unless you have cleared out all the sites already, of course.

thank you for sharing this with every metal detectorist in your area --- by posting it here thats what you did you know. --- very kind of you -- i posted info on how to get /make your own maps of known gold bearing areas in georgia

Very cool. What kills me is that I spend years on the 'net trying to get some history of precisely that type for a spot in GA and then you find one like real easy. (Still time to alter that pic and make it unreadable if people taking your spot is a concern. )

Nice find partenr. Blow off the spoilsports. What you showed them was they could do the same for their area but they didn't get it.

my area in the UK

the only spoilsports are those that will use this, instead of the finder, I'm opening eyes & working in the interest of the poster.

The sharkpit is an example & that had no map!

I'm very far from a spoil sport -- i put up info on how to find and make free gold bearing area maps for georgia for folks to use .( look under the ga state listings * ) --- and i help folks a lot with learning their machines as well aas defending and protecting detectorist rights here in florida at state hearings.

i was just reminding him that his "secert" is not a "secert" anymore ---ps i thanked him for sharing -- not many would share their info --- sadly many detectorist are normal quite closed mouthed and have a take only rather than share / swap info mind set.

now what have you done for your fellow detectorist lately?
