all,

well was going to hunt some property a friends uncle owns. but after talking with him , just down the road where he just moved to seemed old(early 40's?) . Seems old for the area. and the history in that area is abundant. over 5 acres here there is a warehouse(newly built) but the area is old for the county, has woods, some larger trees towards the back i have yet to check out. family member found the old Rc cola bottle under the house, the whole family got into the MD'ing even the dog " homie"

I believe that's a roofing hammer, anyway it looks like the one I used for 20 years!
 

Sounds like a fun day! Hopefully you will get to go back later :thumbsup:
 

Look like you had a good hunt. Keep hunting you will fine that silver that is hinding there...Matt
 

Great finds, Gregg :thumbsup: I'm sure there's more to be found.

yeah we knew the axe wasn't to old..just really corroded., florida soil isn't the greatest, thanks RR,Cyn, and everyone for kind words. hoping to get back there soon. that area of the county is full of history. will keep you updated....gregg
