Sounds like they hid the stuff when enemy soldiers were heading their way.

Great. Now I need to metal detect tree trunks!

Whenever I see a big old downed tree I always detect the roots

 

[ShadowLine]

I actually just got home from detecting and hit the trunks. I figure people like to sit and lean against them.

A great story! Thanks!

I actually just got home from detecting and hit the trunks. I figure people like to sit and lean against them.

I always see people having a picnic in my mind.

Then again I also have a relatively vivid dream every so often that I’m a young boy in colonial times who was woken up abruptly in the middle of the night and told to hide in the attic with my other young relatives. Peering out the attic vents I can see several torches coming in a line down an old gravel road leading up to our manor house. Definitely Revolutionary war related.

The area where I live was referred to as the “neutral ground” during the war, and neither side had control. Both sides would loot & pillage, regardless of your loyalties.

The original manor house was supposedly burned during the war. I’m not big on reincarnation but it’s an odd dream.
