I have recently gained permmission to hunt a sight in Calvert Texas not a stones throw from Virgina Park (currently off limits) I am spliting the finds with the owner who has the property 4 sale, I would welcome some company but must understand there is a gentelmans agreement here he pretty much gets the relics we get the coins. It is about 2 acres and will take some time, it is surronded by bed and breakfasts and has civil war troop encampment history. If any one is intrested please contact me I will be starting this weekend.

Hi, yes Mr Wiese has passed. My buddy actually bought one of there old places out by Jones Prarie and found a few things there, I live about a mile from there and 9 miles from Calvert, If you still know of some sights and can make the trip I would be glad to show you some of mine, The most coveted and off limits spot is Sterling community (original town sight) Please tell me you have a contact there??

Out of curiosity...how did you do in Calvert ?? I've hunted for years in the area and have found some wonderful stuff. The area near the Brazos is rich in history !

Later !

TEXAN Connection,

Got a buddy who's a native there in Calvert, he kicked up a civil war revolver on his property (probably from the garrisoned Union troops post war), we're looking to do some poking around at that place. We hit it once but the areas we really needed to get were flooded and we'll need to clear off iron trash.

If we get back out there, would be nice to say hello and have you along.

Your Calvert store stories have me jealous, I told my buddy "let me know what the deal with all those stores is, when they start renovating, we need to be there", glad you got there and are doing it right, what a great opportunity!

Happy hunting!

Scott

Hey, if ya'll will take any "additional" company, I'm certainly game! I"m not too far from there...certainly not far enough not to travel there. Let m know...I'd certainly understand if you can only take TC.
