Well myself dragon6banger, and trashedtiger got permission to hunt a new 880 acre farm about 45 minutes from my house, the owner of the property does not want to disclose the location that is why the grave name is blacked out. There is so much history on this farm from revolutionary, to indians, to civil war and to who knows what else. We started out the day on some high bluffs where my to buddys thought there could have been a camp or cannon placements. About 1 hour into the hunt adam pulls his 1st canister shot, then it was constant shotgun shell after shotgun shell. So we rethought our location and started again then we hit it with a total of 15 canister shots we believe an area that has never been hunted very well. We also got 34 shotgun shells some modern change and a very nice pocket knife dug by bobby. The date on the grave is 1799 incase you cant see it.

Thanks and Happy Hunting to all
