1896 Victorian House

[bergie]

Check out the cool old photo of this house where I got permission. I am away from home in NY, in the South, and don't have camera handy, but I did about 20% of the property and found a 41 Merc before the rain came. Will get back there in the next day or two for sure. The owners are great people who are fixing up the house and showed me the inside. It's a great place. The white marble slab is still embedded in the ground in front where someone would step off a horse or carriage. I am hopeful for a lot more finds there and since this Merc was found right in front where you see the horse, seems unlikely it's ever been searched. The owner can get me under the porch through the basement, so who knows what fell through the porch over the years, but I'm sure there are some nasty things waiting for me under there too (snakes, spiders, etc.).

When you get under that house, WATCH OUT FOR BLACK WIDOWS!!!! Don't know what part of the south your in, but, they are bad here in Mississippi.

You need to make a copy of that photo for the owner, as well as any others you can finds. House owners that are nice enough to let you detect appreciate things like that. Then find a ohoto of the next door neighbors house, and then.....

 

[bergie]

Yes, thanks. The owner has that photo, in fact a closer up or more blown up version. They are using it to renovate everything in great detail.

Try and get under the porch if possible. Bet there is good potential there.
Nice of them to let you through the house. Always fun to know the history.

I'd gladly take a spider bite in exchange for some nice coinage.

Beautiful Victorian house, glad the owners are renovating back to the original style. I'm quite sure you will find more older coins and possible jewelry ~ good luck & happy hunting.

Down here in tha south ya got to watch out for the Brown Recluse Spider. Very nasty bite ! They would love the seclusion of being under a porch like that house.
