Hi all!
I went to an abandoned 1891 farmhouse last weekend. It was thrashed. Been tagged and ransacked.
I found tons of garbage and a few penny's. I ran the ATP along the foundation, by the front porch and around old trees and got a ton of iron sounds and numerical scores bleeping from 12-45.
It is a huge property and has probably been picked over, however, there are old outbuildings on the property as well. I guess I'm a little overwhelmed by the size of the property, and discouraged as it only yielded a few clad.
My gut is that there has to be some silver or some wheat?
Do I keep going and work the fields too?

Thanks!

Well I have held back on this one long enough as well. With all the infinite knowledge you seem to have Jason you seem to have forgotten that TN rules forbid attacking other members. Help when ya can brother. Enough is enough. The condescending attitude isn't helping anything.

This a right way and a wrong way to go about things. This includes metal detecting and the way you post or give information on this site.

We are all fellow hunters that want to keep our hobby around for many future generations to enjoy. We all know what is right or wrong. I would just politely tell the guy he is in the wrong. If there is problem then start making a plank. I think there are utube videos on making a plank. U just need a pirate ship to start off with. Happy Friday mates.

The next time a member is attacked this way the attacker will earn a timeout.
