Sunday's adventure new spot, new finds!

Hi all,

Earlier this year i was out taking a joy ride with my family one day going everywhere, just looking around. We stumbled upon this and I nearly wet my pants that day!! :o :o :o :o :o

I got back out there today and got permission from the owner which was a great guy by the way. It Took a while to find someone though, the guy that owns it has mad property, and i had to drive around a bit to find him to get permission. This place hasn't been hunted much. It's out in the middle of nowhere and i mean NOWHERE....If your not from around this area where it was then you have no clue it's there. The first target was the suspender clip, i also found the top of a old flag pole which has cool designs on it but it's broken. After about a half hour i ran into my first coin. A wheatback with the date of 1930. I then started seeing lots of broken depression glass bits around. Wish i could find a whole depression glass piece i love the look of them. I then started plucking indians, 1904, 1905, 1907, 1898. All in about a 10 foot area i will come back without the super 12 next time and take my time. I can assure u there's a barber or two just in that 10 foot area. There was much iron.

After about a hour and a half i ended up with just the 5 coppers. but there is much more to be found here and you can bet i'll back this weekend. :icon_pirat: :icon_pirat: :icon_pirat: :icon_pirat:
The barbers are calling and i need a haircut :P

Take care,

Mac

Now that would make most anyone wet their britches! I'd LOVE to find a place like that. Just the look of it makes you KNOW that "treasures" lie in wait.

Please keep us informed.

Re: Sunday's adventure new spot, new finds!

Be sure and hunt out away from the building. There would be parking areas for buggys and or cars. When people rode horses and drove wagons and buggys to church they parked away from the church. Horses emit noxious fumes and make noise, preacher didn't like the competition. There also may have been a small grove of trees of some kind that they set up for picnic on the grounds under.
