Romeo....I have hit the place hard, and use it as a fallback place to hit. There was an old steamboat landing there and there are also 3 old foundations there as well. It is an overgrown field now, along with sumac and bittersweet, so am limited on when you can detect there other than the old dirt roads going into the place. I have found large cents there and IH's plus an old steamboat company brass button...but no old silver thus far. It is also prime hunting there, especially ducks along the shore, so there is a major overabundance of 22 shells and shotgun shells.
