Oh well....Gave it a shot

[civilman1]

Tymcmurray and I set out this morning and decided to go to this old place back in the wood's (1 1/2 hr. hike)Ended up having to cross the creek which was iced over in some spot's but it wasn't too bad.

Here's some more pic's of the place





And my meager find's for alot of walking,climbing,briar's and freezing cold feet........

I have had days like that. It is still good to get away from the wife and kids for a bit though. That place looks great.

Civil,
Thanks for the post & great photos. Still some neat finds. I like that rivet piece you found. That gun had to be a thrill whem Ty first saw it in the hole.
Congrats,
MM

[civilman1]

This place is really trashy with tin and just about everything thing you could think of except coins and decent relics

If its full of that stuff it hasn't been cleared by experienced detectorist

I had a GREAT time, Joe.
I'll post my finds later.
I don't know when I will be rested enough to go
back, but I want to! That place is a blast. We just got
to get rid of a lot of junk first.
Maybe we should go and spend the weekend there.
Wish you had photos of those cliffs we climbed, or
when our shirts were soaked with sweat after the climb.
Thanks for a good hunt!!!

I can't believe ya'll got in that freezing cold water! BRRRR! But dang, look at that site! 8) Just to be able to go there would be worth it!

I really like that marble and that gun! Thanks for the site pics!!!

great photos....but maybe camping there is a good idea..clean it out but good... find the dump, find the outhouse... have a good ole time.. looks promising to me.. give it another go....great finds too... just watch out for the boogie man hardy har har...

 

[The Beep Goes On]

Looks like really cool spot. If there's something there, you'll find it civil. Sometimes a new site takes getting used to...I've had sites that didn't produce nothin', then one day I find a bunch of good stuff. You never know.

HH!

Atleast you are giving it your all, next time may give up something that would make all the times that didn't, way worth it!

 

[deepskyal]

Maybe we should go and spend the weekend there.

Gee... what a Great idea.... may I suggest water proof boots next time....

just watch out for the boogie man hardy har har...

I'm sure if there is anything there to find....you two will find it, no doubt.

 

[diggerodell]

It goes to show: winter is the time to hunt. That spot in summer would be impossible for the weeds. Get the goods while you can.

Those are the type of hunts that build character and make you appreciate mowed lawns. I would have given it a shot. Still might be worth a return trip. Was that 1.5 hrs hike one way? IF so, maybe not worth going back.

I wouldn't give up on that site yet, just will take a few hunts to pick out the good signals. Good luck with it. Tim

 

[TnT2000]

Thats the way to find the goods...you search all the spots you can until you hit paydirt...keep trying, and I would hit that house again anyway...H.H. TnT
