Hello fellow TNETers! Happy New Year to all.
It feels like its been forever since I got to swing the coil. Been below freezing for weeks now.
Cabin fever is something Im NOT a fan of LOL. Thanks to all the warm weather hunters for keeping me sane!
Ive been doing a lot a research the last few weeks trying to find places to hunt this up and coming season.
Found what I believe is going to be my home base to start the year.
There were two houses right next to each other and a barn of sorts that I found areal photos of from 1954.
They have been gone since before 1971 AND are in park land now. Pretty pumped about that.
It was 45 degrees today and I just had to dig. I scrambled home, made a quick lunch grabbed my gear and headed out.
Yes the ground is solid as a rock. I managed to dig only 2 holes in the very short amount of time I had.
Yes only 2 holes but all holes matter!
You can see the barn in the center of the pic and the two driveways of houses south of the barn.
There is a perfect foot print of where the center house used to be. Too close to the river for a full basement.
Walked up where the driveway for the barn was. Here are the Big trees where the front gate should have been.
There were two old fence posts that have been dug up with concrete bases attached.
In the areal you can see a fence that went all the way around the barn property.
Here it is all rolled up! Sure glad to see that. Dont have to worry about finding huge sections of fence now
I get close to where the barn was and had a good signal. It was a tough dig but I got it out!
Sweet a button to start the year!
Wrong! On later inspection it was just a bottle cap. Oh well...
After that dig I head strait to where the front door, walkway and driveway should have been at the house in the middle.
Now there are tall power lines exactly where the driveway used to be. Fortunately there was NO EMI!
Here is where I found the foot print to the house and yeah super solid dime signal!
Im chipping through the frozen ground as carefully as I could...
Not a dime but I feel the age represents when the house would have been built. 1939 Wheat Penny right in front of where this house was sitting. I almost felt at home in the middle of the woods. Needless to say that made my day and gave me high hopes for some silver very close by. There were two more coin signals around it but I was out of time.
Tomorrow is going to be 50 degrees so Im packing a lunch and hope to dig twice as many holes LOL.
Thanks for stopping by everyone.
Good luck to all in 2018
Happy Hunting
