abandoned homesite. When I arrived I checked the property out and decided to get the detector out before heading home and returning another day. After about twenty minutes and finding junk the detector started sounding and wouldn't quit,no matter how far I was sweeping the area. I then started to clear the debris and sticks from the ground and was amazed at what I had found. After wiping a lot of mud and dirt off it appears to be in pretty good shape. Definitely my best find so far.
