Back to Hetzels Church Grove today.

Back to Hetzel's Church Grove today.

When I arrived, first thing I saw was the Grounds keeper on the Tractor
Mowing Grass.
So I sat for 10 Minutes doing a "Do I wanna, or Not"
I finally decided to go ahead and Started Detecting.
about 15 Minutes later I notice him Shutting the tractor down & yelling at me,
so I take off my Headphones only to hear.
"You do realize 50% of yor finds go to the Grounds Keeper"
So of course I say "YEP" & Walk over.
Turns out he just moved in & Took over the Job so he knew very little of the History. Luckly I had my 1875 Atlas along & showed him where the Church & Parsanage used to be.
(In the area of his house)
Very long Conversation cut Short, He gave me Permission to Search there & even said, Don't worry about the Yellow spots. However I insisted, I will wait for Rain, Because I would feel better. anyway
I now have Twice as much land to search.
This may end up a Year Long hunt. since the first Church/School dates
to 1700's.
He also told me where the bottle Dumps are

2 Rings

1 Gold Tone, no markings & light as aluminum

the other, also no markings but the Picture dosn't do it justice. the blue, & red look like aquarium stones & it has a 3D effect.

Great finds the ring with the stones, looks like a gents torquise and coral sterling ring. I made one that looks like it using a sterling setting and torquise chips in epoxy.

Re: Back to Hetzel's Church Grove today.

Thanks Everyone.

Burdie, I used the Sovereign, with the W.O.T. coil.

pennyworth, I'm not sure what it is.
it Could Be Turquoise & Coral.
I don't think it's Sterling though.
it's got a Heavy Crust & when I Scrape it I see
What is Shiny like Crome, not like Silver.

Groundskeepers house.
Tax site says 1857

Bottle dumps behind it.
he says alot of thick heavy Glass all over.

Nice half Jeff. I love how you do your post. You''ll make it seem like you just found some clad.

Then I'll scrole down and there will be a gold coin or something there.

You do a good job on the suspence part of it.

Good Luck,
