Easy Come, Easy Go Pt.2

Finally found the homeowner home today and was able to get her the shadowbox that I made for her. She was quite surprised that I had returned with the 1895 Injun that she clutched so hard when we originally found it. She was such a sweet lady she even invited me in to see the old woodwork in the 1881 home. I could just imagine being back in the 1800's and sitting in the formal dining room. What a place!

She was so happy that we had returned with the Injun and the other wheaties and pictures of her place that she even thought of getting ahold of the local papers and see about getting some publicity so that we could hunt all the surrounding farms and homesteads. I spoke to her about the Privy dig too and she said that we were more than welcome to come out and do that too, even if it is next year. She laughed and said "Don't worry, it will be there after winter too."

I won't forget about that treasure hunt that's for sure. It sure was great to hunt a place where the owner appreciated the things that we (detectorists) do. I am sure she will spread the word around the area and we will get our foot in the door at the farms all over the area now. She even let us take a picture of her with her new found treasure. Good luck with all your future hunts and some times when it's Easy Come, Easy Go..we will all share in the treasures we find. Thanks for looking HH........Jgas

Excellent finds and what better way to display them, in a shadow box in the home where they were found! Thank you for doing your part to put this hobby in a positive light.
