Driving around on Sunday for some new places to hunt and found this one. I asked the lady and she kind of grinned. That meant no. She didn't say no but I knew that I couldn't hunt it because the the historical value.She wanted to give me a tour of this 1877 , 12 room home with 6 fireplaces!! I told her that I would come back later as I was itching for some new ground. She gave me a brochure of the history of this remarkable Victorian era home. She invited me in for a few minutes and ask me if I knew anything about coins. I told her I knew what they were but not how much they were worth. She had numerous LC,s, IH,s and a flying eagle cent which I have never seen before. They were passed down to her from family. However, she did own the place down the road that was empty and gave me permission to hunt it. It was built in the early 1900's
