I've been looking forward to today since Wednesday. My hunting partner gained permission to hunt two old home sites, and an old barn. In fact, the owner led us to the site(s). We followed him through acres of cotton fields to a wooded area on posted property. There were so many twists and turns I began to wonder if we could find our way out.
The main site was a farmhouse that was caving in, so much that I was scared to explore the interior. 50 yards away was the barn, and 100 yards away another home foundation. If I had to guess, I'd say the home(s) were built around 1900, latest. The floor was held up by roughly squared off logs. Still visible on the walls of the standing (well, sort of standing) house was ancient wallpaper.
The property owner was laughing at us a bit, saying he doubted the occupants had two pennies to rub together at any point in time. After we'd dug up a few nails and rifle cartridges, he left us to search.
I had visions of Indian Head pennies, mercury dimes and civil war relics (the site was indirectly in the line of the Forrest-Streight campaign) running through my mind. After about 4 hours of searching, not so much.
I swear to God, I bet they found pull-tabs in Tutankhamen's tomb.
Anyone else ever had a "premo site" not produce?
