Just wanted to welcome you to TNet. I'm a little south of you, well a lot south of you but sure you will find someone up in your neck of the woods. HH

Welcome!

Ever get around the Cache River? Kinda liking some of those old tales of Col. Plug, the maurauder and bandit. He's gotta have some goodies left behind somewhere in that swamp. Check the posts for the 1937 aerial survey maps, get the land plats from the 1804-94 surveys of the state, and hit those old trails down there.

You could have a very good day on one of the original roadways down that way.

Hi, I'm sorry for the slow replies back, I have been really busy with work and all. I am usually free during the week and on Saturdays. if anyone around the benton area wants to go out metal detecting just e-mail me at: atvconnection88@yahoo.com and we can exchange phone numbers and work out the details and do some metal detecting. thanks and good luck to everyone.
