Went to a old town that long gone

[Truth]

A friend on mine took me to a old town where there where German settlers who settled along Lake Ponchatrain and the wetlands took it over in 1915. We went along the railroad tracks and hit a small patch of dry land where there was a small cemetery that was moved. We where only there for a short time because we went after work but here’s what I got. Sometimes it's not what you find it's where you find it that's the real treasure. not sure what this is but it you look along the side it was ornate. Appears to be pewter and it was 13” down.

Congrats. Sounds like a very interesting site. I love new sites. Exploring ruins, chasing iron patches.

I so weird knowing there was a community back there and now it’s gone. Water and wetlands and taking over. It’s a shame there’s not more dry land just lake, railroad track and swamp. I have to drive on the side of the railroad track about a mile and a half. LOTS of snakes lol

Wow amazing that you found solid land to detect on right there. I’ve thought about going there a time or two, but always talked myself out of it. If you’re not afraid of getting in the water you may want to try around Proctorville!
