I live in a small town in South Wisconsin that dates back to the middle 1800s. I am new to this hobby and am learning more each day as it warms up around here. It has come to my attention while I was chatting with a lifelong resident here of 93 years old that there is a 4 acre area hidden in the woods just outside of town that was called Hobo Junction by the locals here. It was very active by the rail road hobos for over 50 years. They had numerous shacks and other shelters in this 4 acre area. I checked with the local police here and they stated the property was owned by no one at this time and I would be welcomed to use my detector there. I was wondering if any of you history experts out there might have some feed back as to if this kind of place would be any good for me to detect at? Thanks for your answers!
