I'd love to see your skills in action
Ok I want to be 100% honest with you guys... I've always been doubtful of your craft, but still extremely curious. I've been lurking in on you guys for a few years and I have to admit that I have seen posts that were dowsed and replies of finds after the fact and I'm I have to admin that it made me wonder. So I'd love to see if anyone here can make a believer out of me
Here is the background on the pictures I'm posting.
This is a land that was owned by a wealthy family and was the location of the militia musters in the 1800s. There were hundreds of people present and they would come from surrounding towns. The event included towns folks, vendors and militia companies that would come for inspection and drill for the pay of 1 shilling and a quart of rum.
Officers would get $2 in gold pieces and 4 quarts or rum. (rum was actually used as currency back then).
I have permission to detect anywhere that you see other than the north side of the interstate and the area I marked in red. Also the house I Xd out at the top of the first picture.
I've found coins, bells and buttons, but I really want to find a militia belt plate to donate to the museum that is now on the property or some gold coins to split with the land owner.
I know they are there, the question is just.... where?
So with all that being said... Is there anyone that is willing to give these pictures a go for me?
Thanks in advance!
