I search google earth before I go out and hunt because in Pasadena tx it will let you go back to 1944. So I found a location off beltway 8 that had some kind of farmhouse in 1944 and now is a empty lot. So I went metal detecting and found about 90+ bullets of all kinds even the round balls.

That's a lot of digging!

You folks in Conroe are pretty clever. In San Antonio, we just dig, generally don't find much, but we get lots of exercise. Nice finds, very nice...
 

I use the old timers to tell where stuff were
 

nice finds congrats HH
 

How do you get it to go back in years??
 

I overlap old photos with google earth. There is software that will do this and then you can fade one pic out a little. I spend hours and hours doing this.. you think I'd have more stuff to show lol.. well I do!

Up at the top on the tools bar of earth there is a 'clock' looking little icon. Just click on it and it will then give you a slider bar that has vertical marks on it. They represent aerial photos at different dates and years. Click on one and it will take you to an aerial photo.
 

Go to google earth and at the top of the screen you will see a round clock or watch looking symbol click on that and up pops a timeline and you just move the arrow back and forth it shows how far you can go back depending on location . Very cool
 

Looks like a great time....Thanks for the Google tip...I've heard about it but never knew how to do it.....

Same here . I can go back as far as '37 in some cases '38 & at least '39 on the rest.

I refresh my Mind weekly, re looking & trying to find missed features.
but sill
always try to refresh again before an Outing.

You just never know.

Nice digs by the way :thumbsup: I like the Pocket Knife

Just hope its in my lifetime.

Google only goes back to 1994 over SW Florida so I use the online photos the museums provide.

Have you tried "Historical Aerials"? When I went to my granddads, in Inverness Florida, it went back to the 50s 0r 60s iI believe
 

Mine will only go back to 1996
 

It depends on the location you are looking at
