I think I know this last place on Jefferson. I stopped there last year to ask permission and he told me it was the oldest still standing house in the county. But then preceded to tell me NO....said he had his own detector and just hadn't had time to get out there yet. Actually said he scanned over part on the side of his house when he was doing construction and had a bunch of great silver hits but left them there for later!

The one I'm talking of has a half circle driveway. It runs right up to the front door. Same one?

This place in the first entry here is where I went back just this year and found a large cent at and an Indian head penny. I keep going back to places after years and still find stuff even after thinking I cleaned it out. The large cent was a deep iffy signal so ya never know. Keep going back to some of your spots.
