90 + Minute Urban Church Grove Hunt

[jeff of pa]

in the mood to take a Brusin' Today I decided to try my 3rd. hunt at
this Church grove.

Been here 2 Years in a row & pretty Much Skunked both Times.
if you don't count a memorial or 2 and a little bit of trash.

not sure of the age but I originally found it using a 1941 Transportation Map



church doesn't say how old it is.
but some of the stones in the cemetery look old.

And the Church did Exist in 1848


















































Gas Rebate Today.
No Surprise .

That's Why I took Plenty Of Scenery Pics

I Think I Inhaled that Much Last time I filled up

Trash & Other Goodies




1948 Wheat

Oh man, you know that a few people will only see the words Hunt & Cemetery and the fill in the blanks with their own factious ideas as to what you actually wrote.

Before you know you are going to be the mod who dug up a little child and stole their pennies right out of their pocket.

But anyway, seems like a nice enough place to hunt. Have you contact the New York owner of that other church yet to get permission to hunt that place.

I spy'd this in the Middle of A field today.
Stopped Took Pics








Including a Pic of the No Trespassing Sign.



Unfortunately I need to Go Back
I didn't Zoom in far enough to get name but I think it said he was from Halifax (pa)

Well I hope you get permission to hunt that other church. I always enjoy your hunt post because it is pictures and not video. Good pictures at that and often the history to go with the site, guess I am just old but I will take a picture over a video any day.

That no trespassing sign might just mean; Stay the hell of or come and ask if you want to MD here. Just saying, never hurts to ask.

So, how do you feel when you go hunt for a 90 minute walk and get very little? Do you still enjoy yourself?

 

[Old Dude]

That second place you posted pics of looks very promising Jeff. Hope you can get permission for that!

Roads have Changed since the 19th Century,
But from all directions I checked.
Everything leads to H. Witmer in 1858

Well if you would have struck out today you might not have gone back for a few years. Now that you found some old loot, you will be back sooner. Way to go...

 

[jeff of pa]

I was actually Going to spend an Hour there & Move on to another site I had problems at.
But shortly after starting I hit a wheat. My last dig was the Indian in driveway Gravel.
wore myself out getting down to it. (about 4" to 5") after that I was in Pain & the sun was popping out

Don't ya hate when you go to a spot, ends up kinda being a dud your 1st time but you just have to go back because deep down you know there's good there? Well this worked out great for you! Good job on some oldies!

 

[against the wind]

Good hunt and nice pictures.
Congrats on some old coins.
I consider "100 plus years" old.

 

[Argentium]

Nice day out Jeff ! When I saw your date countdown go from 1913 to 1911 , I started thinking "we may see an Indian Head here very soon " ! Love your pictures too !!

 

[Gridwalker306]

Nice countdown to an IH cent! I hope you're able to get past the no trespassing sign, looks promising.

 

[jeff of pa]

thanks all !

I may try This one in a Place known as Stone Valley today.





Been here with Texjim once ,
and twice Myself. was almost as Bad as Urban
But I did find a Piece of silver here.

Downside Grounds Keeper told me he's thrown detectorists out of The Cemetery
on more then one occasion. so the place may Get more attention.

Original Church connected to this one goes back to 1796.



will also give me the chance to get that name off the no trespassing sign for research
