I had luck last year researching county preserve and reserve lands. Found a new one, 350 acres, near the interstate on my commute.

Thx Steve! Thought for sure site A would pop more silvers than it did, but not complaining. More research to be done on these woods...
 

Congrats on the shiny and relics! Definitely go on those slumps as well.
 

Good work!That's a spot to hit next winter when all that green is gone.
