INCREDIBLE luck!

[pyledriver]

They say it's who you know... Well, on whim I made a post on a different type of hobby forum that I've been on for a few years, that I was looking for old houses to detect. SO, as of today, I have acces to three for sure, another couple after meeting the owners and several others pending a few phone calls! I can't believe my luck!

If it's too many, I would be glad to help you out!! That is great luck!

We'll see. So far I'm not sure if these will be limited to just me or not. The last cool old homesite sure was prime for needing several folks but the owners wouldn't allow it! I first hope that none of these places have been detected before. The rest I'll just have to play by ear..

First house was a bust except for bottles and poison ivy! Might have a little better luck if we could get some rain. We'll be back...

Hahah..had to chime in on the Posin Ivey part...since July ive gotten 3 shots for Posion Ivy..they tell me to stay out of the woods...they just dont get it

What part of North Texas are you in...I wonder if we have came across each other at sometime...Good luck with the houses...HH

Yeah, that's me too! My wife gets mad at me because looking at the blisters and ugly spots grosses her out real bad. Plus this last time I somehow ended up with a spot on my lower eyelid.. I have a source for 3% hydrocortisone cream if it gets bad enough! Otherwise the 1% does well and I just wear long sleeves when it gets unsightly. I've actually conditioned myself to ignore the itching!

Location-wise, I'm in Plano and hunt old houses north of me and a couple in east Texas near Palestine. I do some hunting in Wise county also but that's where I primarily hunt pigs and other critters...and I do a LOT of that! I've run across so many great places out west that I keep telling myself one day I'm gonna have to dedicate my time to some detecting instead of rifle work. Also, there were a couple guys that used to pan in one of the creeks out there..and supposedly found some gold..I just haven't been able to find out where they were. Yet.

As to the old houses that started this thread..I've been so busy at work with meetings related to whether we stay employed..it's just been hard to concentrate on fun stuff!

Hey, Pyledriver.

Any updates on those old house hunts?

 

[pyledriver]

None lately! Between me being busy with work and my buddy having the same problem.... I can't beleive how busy I get! One kid who's a senior in college, one who is in boot camp with the Marines and a five year old!!! Plus audits at work and trying to start a new business so I have a place to land if/when the music stops playing and I find that I have no chair to land in.... I'll get back at it soon!

I have panned with my three sons in Bee Creek, but just found traces of gold.

I've got more places to hunt than time. I just got permission to hunt a number of lots in Richardson and will do these on my lunch hour at work, good luck to you !!!!.

There's a product out there called Tenco(?),for poison ivy,this stuff really works,you might also try buying some 20% white vineagar,put it in a pump up sprayer with water and a drop of dish soap,this will kill the poison ivy.
