OLD FARM HOUSE! 1950 I have to go lay down. I was born that year. I guess I am a relic.

I live next door to an old early 1900s farm house. The original owner a 90 yr old widow lady was still living when we bought our house new. They owned a huge tract of farm land. Never had kids. When her husband died she sold most of the pastures and land surrounding the old house and barns. Land Developer built our subdivision but poor planning left much of the property undeveloped and unsold. She died and the house was sold to another elderly couple, a retired carpenter who added new roof, vinyl siding, lowered the ceilings and a few other improvements. So as someone posted, new owners can change the whole look of the house so you won't be able to tell by looking how old. The new owners eventually died leaving it all to their only grandson since their only child, a son died. The grandson is in his early 20s and has health issues. Hardly ever comes outside. Lives there with his mom. We keep the property cut, harvest the pecans and have total rein of the property. Not going in those barns until winter, either! Snakes! Since I recently started M detecting, I've been digging around the property. Been disappointed up until yesterday when I found a Ford brass center wheel hub for a Model A or T and of all places, near the road. Just goes to show that you really have to forget what it looks like now and think about how the place was back then and the way they lived. Also if the fence is an iron fence, its hot item at the antique store! People didn't have garbage service, they buried it in a hole or gulley. Vintage bottles! Many also buried what little money they had. Divide and conquer, Brother man. Get digging!
