    recent finds

    ++ edited post

    Hello There

    Unfortunally I wasen't aware of sensitivity revolving around hunting cemeteries and realized I may have ruffled a lot of feathers by posting this so i had to edit out the pics and details.

    ...As you can guess, they came from a cemetery. Although completely over grown, neglected, and long since abandoned, its still a cemetery.

    So mods if you will, please delete this post.
    my apologies,
    thanks

    Re: lost cemetery finds

    good finds.. i personally would only hunt the outskirts of a place like that.. not to disturb any personal items that could have been left by loved ones at the grave sites.. MR TUFF

    Re: lost cemetery finds

    Hunting spots like this is bad CARMA. Also the detector & treasure hunting comunity looks down on people that hunt cemetery land. Hunting spots like this is nothing to be proud of. There are many other areas that yeald just as good of finds. If your willing to do the home work. If I were you I would let this place rest in piece.
    In some state's if you get cought digging in areas like this you can be arested and charged with the crime of grave digging or excavating with out a death certificate permit its a feloney in most states. Remember how others would feel if they seen you digging and poking around love ones graves.
    Be smart and good luck!

    NOT GOOD!!

    Re: lost cemetery finds

    Some pretty cool finds there, you'll catch some flak from people for hunting a site like that, and the law will frown on it most likely. I've hunted around old country cemeteries in the past, but we always stuck to the paths and the edges, and looked for spots around the place where people would have gathered and parked cars or wagons or just hung out waiting for the services.

    Re: recent finds

    Don't take it too rough, fender......everybody makes mistakes and apparently you are new at this game (as am I). Do a little reading and research on the "do's and don'ts" of metal locating and you'll be just fine. If it would make you feel better, bag up all the items and toss them back into the cemetery grounds. The rightful ghosts will see that the pieces are returned to their proper places.

    Best wishes in the future.
