  1. 1917 Merc w/Full Split Bands? & the nicest cellar holes I’ve seen

    Didn't have much time today after work. So i decided to just drive to a few cellar holes i have marked in Gaia as potential sites. Just to see how i would access them or who i would have to ask for permission. I drove down a road that's 10 minutes away from where i live, that i have apparently...
  2. Looking for help with GaiaGPS. Historic map overlays are about 500 feet off both East-West and North-South.

    Any GaiaGPS users know if there's a way to slide the overlays over? Can't find an answer on Google. I'll try to email customer service next, but was hoping someone here might have found a solution. There are a few potential homesites I want to check, but it's hard to get the measurements right...
  3. Virginia assorted maps hosted online

    Hey all, I just wanted to post a few map sources online that I have found. I still haven't found a lot in the ground, but I still don't know my machine (CTX 3030) well enough and haven't put a lot of time in yet. Sanborn fire insurance maps are great resources to see what towns\cities looked...
  4. Does anyone use GPS to track where they have been?

  6. Wood display case with wood “pages”

    What was this used for? The top piece has wooden “pages” where it appears something thin was applied such as paper or fabric. The top was designed to attach to the bottom with pins but they were not made together I do not think. The trim is different as is the finish. The top part has two...
  7. Google Earth

    I have been looking through forums to research. I have found a lot of old wreck sites and have even verified a few. Now with this being said.....I do not wish to disclose a location or area yet I know people look at these forums and the Florida law blah, blah. My question is has anyone used...

    Hi All, Do some KGC hand-drawn maps have West at the top, and NORTH on the right? If so, why would that be? Thanks
  9. How are you all getting Parcel/Property info (without submitting requests to counties

    I was using an app called "Landglide", and it was great. I could zoom in, and it would give you all the information about that property, including parcel number, address, owner, etc. It didn't require you to already know the owner's name/address/parcel number/etc. This was for all of U.S. The...

    It was a miserable amount of work but I found the time to update Free Gold Maps with new features.
