Hi folks,

I met up with Rick and Gary of the Arkansas Treasure Hunters
Club this morning. I decided to take them to my secrete place
down on the river,

I have hunted this place for the last couple of years. It can still
produce some nice finds now and then. It is little known and it
has very little modern trash,

5-12-2.jpg


We hunted about 3 hours, and it was hot and muggy. Here's my
pile of goodies,

5-12-3.jpg


I found the remains of an old clock,

5-12-4.jpg


and part of an old wagon wheel,,, (COOL)

5-12-5.jpg


Folks,,,,, This one blew my doors off,

Did you ever clean the cylinder up, I know it's been a long time ago?
