I finally got to hunt an 1820's Log cabin today
Yesterday Me my wife went to work on one of my buddys heat at his house and I saw that the owner of this old log cabin property beside my buddies house was on his property so after i get the heat working I walk next door and talk to the mid 60's gentlemen. After proper introductions he tells me that the 70 acre farm was bought by his family in the early 1800's and that his grandfather had lived there and was a bootlegger and had supposibly buried money on the property during the 1930's. Well by this time Im itching to see if he will let me hunt it and to my surprise he agrees and tells me that no metal detector has ever been on the property but by this time its already getting dark so I tell him Ill come back tomorrow and so after church today we headed back over to see what we could find. At first I decided to just to search around the bases of some of the very large trees in the back yard and around the first tree I dig a good signal and its an old mason jar lid with the old white glass seal so i think maybe Ill find the jar but no such luck. Come to find out I found at least one of those lids at the base of every big tree in the back yard 7 total but not the first coin and most of the yard that I detected was FULL of trash so next weekend Im going to grid it off and dig eveything then maybe Ill find something.
