Old Homestead 1890's . . . First Hunt
Got permission to hunt a tilled field where an old homestead was. Built in 1890's and burned to the ground in 1970's because of tax leins. I was approached by a neighbor while looking at this field, he explained that he helped the owners . . . two elderly women burn their house down before the county took it from them for tax leins. They got the insurance money and sold their land. Up until then it was all fruit orchards for 40 acres around the house with a camp of about 10 buildings of Philipino and Japanese workers behind the house. The neighbor showed me the whole layout of all buildings and called the landowner who drove right over from up the road, we talked for a while and he gave me full permission to hunt the site. It is now just a future corn field. I was there for about 30 mins tonight and found the following items in that short time. I have a feeling that I will be reporting some decent finds on this one for a few weeks to come.
If photo is not showing, Photobucket is down because it was hacked last night.
