Horstmann and Company..New permission

[Vino]

So today I stopped by this house i have had my eye on for a few weeks.
Seen the owner in the drive way and thought it was the perfect opportunity..
I drove up got out of my truck and gave the guy my spiel...
The first thing he says is what most people say.. (what are you hoping to find)
And i said what i always say..Buttons,Buckles,maybe a few coins..
I told him i found lots of stuff in the area.
Like eagle buttons from the civil war.
Well here is when it gets interesting,,
He tells me his Great Great Granddaddy is Horstmann..And this was his House!!!!
Well i told him i have lots of his buttons..
From the mid 1800s..To the ww1 ones..
Told him his grandpappy was a big deal in the metal detecting community...
So needless to say I have permission...
Told him i would be there this weekend..
Will see what i find...Just going to be cool to hunt....

Awesome Vino! The very first eagle button that I dug had the Horstmann back mark. Congrats and good luck on your new site.

Only you George, reminds me of the time the owner/Pastor told you he was waiting for a metal detectorist to come and ask to detect his place. And that other place said the team of archeologist were coming in Oct. and they were going to get back in touch with you? Remember?

Oldjerseygirl is right, very exciting.

good luck with your hunt!!

 

[Tejaas]

That's Great!

I always thought it would be funny to knock on Charles Garrett's front door to ask for permission to search his yard... But I figure he probably has the most hunted out yard in North America... Haha

"Funny" would be to ask him...
"Bold" would be to ask him while holding a Minelab!

How cool would it be to find a large buried cache of very early Horstmann buttons in mason jars in perfect/newly made condition? I'm excited for you, Vino. Is that other Deus swinging guy invited on this hunt with you? Cause you know ya'll find more stuff when you hunt together.
