[jeff of pa]

Weather was Dreary felt like Winter is here
But it's only going to get worse for the next week so
we decided today's our day.

1875 Atlas map of the Valley


1938 view of the Property



Recent Aerial




Today we Started at The MRS. Rickert Site.
Though we didn't find anything but Lead, Shells & Trash.
we were able to locate a depression in Lillie's & Briars ,
that was almost certainly the Outhouse.
The site we believe the Cabin may have been has been Planted,
so back in spring

some pics





Site of Cabin in the Greens





Site of Outhouse
where clump of Briars is



From there we went back to the Farm

This Button Shocked me at First Sight, But Disappointment followed



Obviously fake.

also found a lead What is it.



pull handle, Maybe from a Weed Wacker or Lawn mower

More time well spent with family and the detector. 45P war nickel and a petite watch that I sadly cut in half as I was pinpointed on the nickel and didn't expect two targets

 

[scruggs]

Good looking property...should release a lot more for you in the near future! Good luck on it!

 

[Old Dude]

Jeff, you hunted as much today as I have all year
Good looking site!

 

[ARC]

Hmmm looks like you found some colonial period... Brake line. :P

 

[smokeythecat]

Buttons' not a fake, just newer. For a dress jacket.

 

[texjim]

Good job guys.. I need to get motivated to get back out. I was hoping for a good soaking rain so i could go back to the log home site

 

[TRanegar36]

Keep covering land... you guys will find the honey hole sooner or later!

Nice finds

 

[cjon455]

I love finding flat buttons, by far my favorite thing besides old coins, nice looking spot ya hit too

 

[nsdq]

Sweet hunt, Jeff you need to hunt with me to find silver .....

As I sit here tonight eating mexican wedding cookies and having just turned off the a/c, I was admiring your finds and wondering (even though you love Pa) why you wouldn't just escape to the south or west part of the year. Jeff of Las Vegas, Jeff of Az, Jeff of Ca. In fact, I can guarantee that many of the women of Nevada own ranches and I bet getting permission to MD on them wouldn't be that difficult. By the way, it really is nice to see pics without 6 feet of snow in them. Just a thought...

Good post, as always.

That place looks like it might have some rough digging. Do you use a long handled plugger in places like this?

get out there Man !

Hmmm looks like you found some colonial period... Brake line. :P

considering how much time it took to get to it,
I'd guess it was off an Indians 1 Horse, Horse
deep in hard Driveway , between tree roots .

Buttons' not a fake, just newer. For a dress jacket.

yep I'm guessing Kids blazer type jacket

Good job guys.. I need to get motivated to get back out. I was hoping for a good soaking rain so i could go back to the log home site

I'm still hoping for Lake & River Drying up Drought

Good post, as always.

Yea I have my 22" Wilcox

mine of course is specially adapted for Prying when Necessary.
so I can't bend the Scoop prying roots & Boulders.
at some spots the ground is like thick Butter, I can push it straight down 6" - 7" inches. others I need to push or chip away with the weeder

and of course My 13" weeder



is on me at all times.

they get a workout too

I was thinking more like one that can be used whilst standing. I'm starting to feel the strain of that small hand trowel type thing I use. I can make a much neater job but, all that kneeling and digging! It's starting to tell and I'm afraid it'll just get worse. I would still use it in any park/schoolground/lawn/etc. But, I am *sorely* tempted to start using a long handled plugger/shovel.

yea the View of me using a Spade size digger while standing prevents me from doing that.
I use my long handle in most parks I do, Because I feel I do a better job cleaning up after myself with it. I push it straight down, & Pop a long deep Plug out leaving one side connected yet.
when possible.
plus I use it as a Cane to Push myself up off my Knees after.
But if I'm on a well manicured lawn, or public Pool, I try to use my weeder and Carry a small Finishing Pan for the excess gravel.



especially If I expect to be watched & graded
