On the neighbors property, an old picnicwoods, they used to have an event similar to a county fair. It started about 1890 and ran thru About 1940. They postponed it during the war and never revived it. Although they continued to use it for family reunions, church picnics, sportsmen festivals, ect... until the mid 70's when they built a house there.
I started to hunt it in about '05. All the locals would see me there and would ask me if I found anything. They all would say ' so and so pounded that in the 70's, not much there, huh?'
Well, 300 coins later....there is still stuff there.
Ive found 60-70 IH's, 150+ wheaties, 30+ asstd Barbers, a dozen Mercs, a dozen V's, and so on....
I would say the previous hunters only cherry picked it, I would have loved to been one of them, and I have picked a bunch of cherries, and I bet there is still lots there. When I have no where else to go, I go there. I always find something.
