Wheats & silver today...
After having to work yesterday, I just had to get out for a bit today. Found an old home site with nothing left but a couple very large trees. This site wasn't posted, fenced etc. so I gave it a quick
scan. I started at the largest tree and got all four coins within 15 minutes, and no deeper than 3". Called Brett to let him know what a great site this is going to be and no sooner do I get done
leaving a message, when a pick-up truck pulls up behind my van. Turns out to be the property owner and though he wasn't too upset, he wouldn't allow me to continue there. He said I wouldn't find anything anyways.
I asked him how old the site was, and he said he was born there and so was his Dad. He was about 80yo...
I offered to mow the place, split any possible finds or try to locate any lost jewelry that family or friends
may have lost at other locations, but he wasn't giving in.
As we shook hands goodbye, I thanked him for not having me arrested.
