newbob, and treasure detector, I am game for anything really! It's just be nice to get out. I Do have a spot down in Petersburg to hunt, but it's just some lady's back yard. From the sounds of it I don't think it's exactly well manicured to say the least, in fact she referred to it as the jungle. On the up side she said when she moved in 4 years ago she found some interesting pottery and glass on the property. Don't know how big it is or anything but I'll probably head down there this coming saturday if anyone is interested but I think I can only take one person with me.
Treasure detector, if you normally wait till fall get's here, maybe we can hook up then! definitely keep my name or whatever and we can hook up! I'd love to hunt that field with you, don't want to step on any toes in your new spot I've just never gotten to do a field after being plowed. Seems like good times. I tried to hunt in the woods over by you one time behing a machine shop right off of 360 but found nothing but a stray .45 bullet and some junk. I think the ground was really too wet that close to the chickahominy and I got discouraged quick because of the mosquitos. I always thought mechanicsville would be a great place to hunt though. Especially since 360 was one of the first and only main roads out of Richmond!
New bob, what schools are you hitting? You must be my nemisis and the reason i found not a single thing at the Bon Air elementary school playgrounds! Well, except a random .38 bullet and some trash. I'll give it to ya though, if it was you, I only spotted one of your holes!
Maybe we could do a couple tot lots or try to find a relics spot. A friend of mine just bought 10 acres in powhatan on rt 13 and 5 acres of it are pretty clear. Just big hardwoods and fallen leaves. The ticks are out but they don't bother me all that much. But then again I don't think they like me all that much because they hardly ever bite in. I'm sur ehe wouldn't mind if we checked that out. If anyone is interested in that we could do that as well. This land is not too far from parts of Lee's retreat and also near some land that I KNOW bullets and buttons were found on but I can't get permission to hunt that land. Oh well, I think this'll be close enough. The trick will be finding them. I have yet to find any civil war relics and they are the reason I got into this hobby really.
I don't think anything on this land stands out to me as being a "better" place to hunt, but then I don't really know what to look for. Maybe one of you knows a little more than me. But for now it's just aimless scanning.
Tell me what you think guys! Always happy to team up!
Jeff
Thats a nice one
PIeces of history are more valuable to me than dollars.
