Wishing you the best and I know you'll hunt it to the best of your ability. Wow that place was a real beauty back in its day. Should be plenty of cool treasure come out of there.

I’m gonna hunt it for years to come. Lots of ground to still cover.

Permission? Hell...that'd be a CAREER for me. [emoji23] Hope you hit the jackpot, Truth. [emoji119]

Ogre I’ll be hunting it for a while there a guy who was hunting it before, he knew the old owner, for 15 years. He showed me buttons from 1812, relics galore, Louisiana CW buttons, Confederate buttons, tons of coins over the years. Never a half dime or half real so I had to find them :)))

I’ll keep hunting what he missed

I'd hunt this place in two feet of poison ivy with mosquitoes chewing my legs off.

I went 5 times already lots of iron but this is want I have found View attachment 1613699 View attachment 1613700
So far a half dime, real silver and I’m still amazed I found them. I’m blessed. I still have so much land to cover I’ve only worked the side of the house in the iron patch. STAY TUNED :)))

That half real is in fantastic condition, more detail than I have even seen on a dug one! Great bust half dime too, very rare to dig. Can't wait to see what else you find there, I can only imagine the stuff that might be buried there.

If the tree lined old road is now in the backyard, then maybe the home was modified or another even older home was there at one time as the tree lined road should have lead to the front of a home. It looks like a scene out of "Gone with the Wind" or another movie showing a Southern Plantation. I would detect that whole grownup roadway and around the trees and straight to the home or where another home sat. There should be lots of targets in these locations and if there was another even older (now gone) home and you can locate where it stood, then you should have lots of luck around it.

Previous home was in 1770’s and this house was built around it. The owner located the original 1770’s fireplace bricks and he gonna let me detect under the floorboards he said it’s all dirt under there. Another reason I bought that 6”.

Two movies where already filmed there.
