Road Trip Yesterday

fossis · Dec 10, 2009

I went on a 'Road Trip' yesterday with Mr. Okie Hillbillie, we cut through the back roads & he showed me the old school house his Mother attended in 1916, he is in the cellar.
We saw rock quarries, old bridge, creek, deer, picked up a load of 'scrap' to sell, visited a friend & bought some rocks & crystals, & coins.
Then after a nice evening meal drove back & saw a sign where the old 'Butterfield Stage' used to run through the area.
We had another 'good day', enjoying the back roads of OK.

Sounds like a great day. Wish I could have been there. Did you detect that old school? There could be some really nice relics there.

We just took a side road, he asked will we get lost?
I said "I don't care we have a full tank of gas & nothing but time". :thumbsup:

We will have to see the local man who owns it to get permission.

Miss that part of the country, Fossis. It may be a little far north, but have y'all ever went up to Iron Bridge and looked around. Lot of civil war activity in that area years ago. There was a military encampment over by Brooken, north and a little west of Enterprise. (may be under the lake now) Another one out in a field south and east of Porum, probably on private property. I don't think much research has been done on any of those sites, unless somethin came up recently.

I had a friend who wrote for several 'Treasure Magazines', we ran together for 17 years, he has been almost everywhere you could find any info on, he even detected around Sequoia's 'salt works', found an old plow that was possibly hand forged by him.
He hit the 'old stage stops', whatever he could find, so it's 'tough' to find much around these 'Hard Core' hunters. $:-\$

Ever look for arrow heads in that river you have pictured there? Nice place to look around I would think.

That was my first time there, it is all 'private property', so no looking there.

We did look around a picnic table on the bank, found a 'bic lighter', it works, & a piece of a broken car jack.

Thanks, Fossis............

Outside Guthrie there is a job corps at least there was one when I was 16 now I'm 41. But I saw some of those JJ symbols there when I was 16 the same ones the TV program on history channel had. I remember them BC the symbols looked like a boat company logo from back home in Louisiana. Any who according to the TV program you find the Jessie James symbol and you will find more jars of silver dollars and perhaps a mother load from a bank robbery. There is some of that sandstone just like in the program It was on the way to a creek north of the convent where the job corps was and we would walk to the creek to swim we would jump off an old bridge that had an old car in it a model t or something like that.

That would be a good place to do some 'poking around' for sure, I found one name carved into sandstone locally while working for the 'Runestone lady', Gloria Farley, it was (Will Brown), no date, on a hugh slab of stone in Cameron OK.

Looks like an adventure, thanks for sharing the pics. Hope you can get to detect that schoolhouse. It certainly looks promissing. :icon_thumright:
