Had an hour to spare before all the company came storming in for the annual Labor day festivities, and hubby had made a slight remark yesterday about driving me over to a site that I have long wanted to hunt. Now, ya'll know that any hint of getting to go hunting, and I am on ready! ;D So I throw on my huntin britches and boots and hop in the old blazer...had to take the hoopty for this ride cause where we were going was purdy hard to get to....don't want to scratch up that nice purdy truck, ya know! ::) :-X Anyhow...figured that with only an hour to hunt this would be my recon day. This place was a resort in the late 1800's early 1900's and WOW what some places that these folks must have had. :o Only had time to visit one old homesite. This house had three HUGE fireplaces! The rock walls and steps are still pretty much in place but there is tin everywhere and looks like this was the local dump in the 50's. :'( I know that this place has been hunted hard over the years and from the looks of all the holes left...with trash still in them, I might add, I still want to hunt it! Just got this feeling that there is good stuff waiting there for me! ;D Might wait a little bit for all the foliage to die down. Didn't find the good stuff today, but in keeping with my finds from earlier this week I did find a great old button! Don't know what the top thing is, but it has some neat designs on it, and then I did find this nice old bullet! ;D

Here's the pics of the day.

Nice place. Looks like it has a lot to offer. The general consensus here is that hole plate is a cover plate for a door knob. BTW, is that a snake behind you? ;D
 

That spot looks great! I'd be all over it. If the people who hunted it before were any kind of thorough, the items you found would not have been there. They probably tried to cherry pick the spot, or were inexperienced and wanted to try out their new walmart detector someplace. They left good stuff for you I'm positive.
 

That looks like a great place Nana!!!

Thanks for the pictures and story, and let us know what else you find there.

Happy Hunting.

Gosh yall! Thanks!

Stoney! Don't do me that way! :D Snakes are everywhere here! :o Was tiptoeing the whole while! :P Only saw one rattle snake yesterday though.

Don't feel comfortable going alone to this site so I will have to wait upon hubby to take me back. :( Lots of drinking and such goes on here..and of course the snakes are everywhere right now....have to hit it in between snake season and deer season! :D And ya'll are putting me on the spot! I better find something REALLY good here! ;D And I plan to! ;) And no Red...I don't have a smaller coil...would probably help! Thanks for the id's and love that pic Civil!

Thanks again!

Nana :)
