Sundays finds at the local cemetery

[crazyjarhead]

Go evening fellow members. Got out today to a new place and the only thing I found was about 3 bucks in modern clad. It is a baseball park behind where the old high school used to be. The post office now sits on top of the ground and the ground was smoothed out so no hunting there as it is marked Government property, no tresspassing. I don't have any pics of the ground but there should be some nice keepers there. I haven't found any yet. A lot of ground to cover. The last pic is what I found at the park, not cemetery.

After hunting there I decided to visit the local cemetery where my fathers side family lay. I didn't hunt that as that's taboo in my book of morals and ethics . I did take some pictures to share. Irrelevant to the hunt but I think you Will enjoy some more histry of this small town


This is a picture of the entrance to the cemetery taken in the late 1890's. The next picture was taken today, 2008.

I love those first two pics of the cemetary entrance. If you look real close to the far left you can see where there used to be what may have been a big garden or farm of some kind. It was all cleared back then, now it looks like it's all woods. Can you or have you tried detecting there?

I was going to but changed my mind

Thanks for the comments Leslie, but just to clear things up and not let other people think that I dug there, I did not dig as stated in my original post.

Great starter machine for the price. Look at my other post and see what I have found. And yes, even the field to the left was tempting but I do respect the deceased

Site looks good. Looks like the ground is undisturbed. Good luck.

I love when there are old pictures with sites you get to hunt.

As a history buff I found the Lincoln Funeral Train info. very interesting...I also find it amazing that those trees are 115 years old! I also Love the before and after pictures!

Thanks. There are some missing but I believe most of them survived
