Okay, this buddy stops over one day with pictures of an old house foundation.
Hard to get to? says I
No! says he.
Where? says I
Just take this two-track road...easy to find...just a short ways...not far...says he
So without checking any other documents, I drive all the way over there. Sure enough, the road is where he said it would be. So I drive in expecting this easy cool hunt....WRONG WRONG WRONG!
I drive in about 200 feet and the road is so bad I have to walk. I grab the detector and shovel and start walking...and walking...and walking.
After about an hour and several miles later I decided either I missed it or it's not exactly "not far."
I did have some fun however. I got lots of needed exercise and enjoyed a nice day in the woodland. Here are some photos I took of some old stumps still standing from the 1800's lumber era. A lone apple tree tells me I was close.
I did swing the detector on the dirt two-track and found 1 Memorial cent, a 30-06 shell, and assorted other junk.
I'll find the exact spot and go back next week.
To be continued.
