My 1st "Old" house lot, wish me luck!

Hey!

I saw this news article in my Friday paper and went down to watch them move it off the lot to make ready for Saturdays' move.

While I was there I got a chance to ask the property manager if I could MD the lot before they cleared the foundation.
He said "YES"! Being a detectorist from several years past, he too was hopeful that we might be able to find something
of the past.

The house was built in 1901 as a farmhouse but was moved to it's present site in 1920 to become the parsonage.
The grounds have not been disturbed in all that time so my hopes are high. I will not be disappointed though,
even if all I find is a single wheat penny. It is my first old house and I got permission first!

I'll keep you informed of the results.

That site definitely looks like it has some potential.

Now put your hands on your computer monitor, I'm channeling as much good luck as I can muster.

Good luck, we want to see some goodies

Good luck Steve,

Looks like it has potential to give up a few old coins, and keep an eye out for marbles on the surface.

What type of detector do you use?

Just a couple of blocks away from where I live...there are some older homes in the historic district that may have potential. I owned a home a block from the plaza (behind the Library) that was built by a jeweler. Had an incinerator in the back yard that he used to destroy old silver and such...Should go back and see what I can find.

Good Luck. I think you might be on to something there. Glad you have permission first. I'd like to see what you find.
