I just wanted to share this story with all my fellow hoosiers, because I am so irritated at finding NOTHING with my md since I started 3 months ago.
I am 32 yrs old, but 22 yrs ago when I was 10, I made a FIND. Most of my young childhood my father would go to my grandparents to play eucher. My grandpa lived right next door to my great grandpa (my aunt Dorothy and an uncle lived with my great grandfather also). So anyway, I went behind my Great grandfathers garage and just sat down and started diggin with my hands, just gettin dirty, bein a boy. After a while I felt somethin hard in the hole, so I uncovered the top of it & saw that it was a CHEST. Looked just like a real treasure chest, with the domed top, had a a leather strap on each side of it about an inch & half in from the very edges. So bein as young as I was, first thing I did was run in and tell pop what I found. So him and my grandparents all came out, also with my aunt Dorothy and my uncle. So we pull this ( 20 in. long X 6 in. wide X 8 in. tall ) trunk out of the ground and my aunt Dorothy takes it, saying it was on her property. About 3-4 years ago my father tells me "She opened it up, and it was full to the top with silver coins", didn't tell me what kind, but he told me she spent every one of em. Isn't that swell...So as soon as I got a metal detector I went over there diggin to no avail.
I'm just aggravated at findin' nothin', I mean I live in Greenwood & it's so cram-packed there's no room for md-ing without cop harrassment. Everything that was old there has somethin new built on it, or down deeper than a well diggers ass. I figure that find is a once in a lifetime thing for me.
Anyway, the area I found that is on S. Keystone Ave. Off S. Keystone exit, come down past the Sarah Shank golf course, and its one block before Raymond St. If any of my fellow hoosiers find anything else in that area, good luck & happy huntin.
