Great digs Ringfinder!!...that place is still pumping it out!

Dunno about Saturday or Sunday, but tomorrow, Me, Mirage, Nate and a friend of theirs from a DFX forum will be going to an abandoned campground I located with my son back in July. A cop local to the area it's in told me about where it was (way back in some woods) and Spencer and I eventually found both latrines, the parking area and entrance road (all overgrown) and the foundation of the main lodge. The camp dates back from the mid 1800s I was told, and was abandoned in the 1930s.
We could NOT hunt it in July, as the mosquitos were so intense it was insane!....
THAT issue should NOT be a problem now!!
Good chance at some older silver and relics here.
We'll report back in one form or another before Monday with results...and there still may be a trip to the 'Berg before Monday

That's great Dan, hope you guy have a fun day at your new site. Sounds like you have been doing some great research. That's what it takes guys, lot of reading and talking to the older population. They know where the old parks, picnic area's and old building's were.

The place we are hunting is an old church camp and picnic grounds. We have found some IH's and barber coins, but not that many, we just haven't hit the old, old spot yet.
