Went riding around a area about 20 miles away trying to find some likely areas to do a little locating yesterday. Found an old home-place that looked promising, so I went to a small country store about a mile away hoping I could find out who the owner was. The girl there told me the old man that lived next to the store would likely know as he was in his 80s and knew everybody in the area.
Walked to the house and asked him about the place and he told me he owned it, he asked me inside and I told him I would like to do some locating around it. Real nice old man and wife, he said he had no problem with it and I told him I would stop back by and let him know what I had found.
He said his father built it in the 1800s and he had grown up there, the property had "no trespassing" signs in the yard and he said they were put there by deer hunters that had leased the land from him. He owns a bunch of land in the area but didn't seem to want to say how much he owned.
I proceeded to the house and and set up my locator, turned it on and started getting hits everywhere! I started digging and turns out there were pull tabs out the ying-yang.... The deer hunters had let their mark over the years
I use a Scorpion Gold Bug locator so distinguishing trash from treasure is about impossible! Dug holes everywhere, after about 3 hours I had found about 10 pounds of trash along with 2 Indians, a wheatie and a rosie.
I decided right there I was going to buy another locator when I got home! one more suited for coins.(The indians got me all jacked up)!
Went back to his house as promised, and showed him my finding and offered to split it with him. He just chuckled and said he "was too old to start collecting anything"
I thanked him and asked if I could return later and try it again, he said no problem as long as I covered my digs in.
Got home and later last night and ordered a Ace 350 and a Pro-pointer from Kellyco after doing a little research. (It will let me tune out more trash and suppose to be a killer coin machine) When it arrives I plan on returning to the site for some more good stuff. I don't' have a camera so I can't upload any pictures of the old house yet, my niece might let me borrow hers for a day or two. Will update forum as to next finds there.
