If my keeper finds got any slower, I'd be going backwards! 
This has been the toughest four hunts I've been on in a while....and I hope it gets better soon!
Last week Lisa and I discovered a new site with old ruins. I left the camera in the car to lighten the load but sure wish I had taken it, cause the sights were much better than the finds! :P Down the road a bit from the usual hunted out site we hunt, there is a patch of Kudzu that in the summer months there is NO getting into. We knew there was once a church on the site so we crawled through the vines to get a better look at the place. As usual I was wandering all over and stumbled on another site. Lots of rocks and bricks and a HUGE cistern! The water was probably 20 feet down and I don't have a clue how deep the water was. It made me nervous to look over into it! 
I did find a thimble and miners tag and two wheats...1917 & 1918, one and a half tax tokens and a key. The next hunting trip we set out to find a new site. The house was long gone but we found the site. The ground had been plowed years ago and not much on the finds there either..did manage a nice round bullet and another thimble. Next site Terri and I went to didn't hold much ..found a neat round thing that says White Swan Laundry and Cleaners..then I guess what's a phone number....6-2102.
Here's a link to a neat picture....

Two days ago Lisa and I headed for the cellar in the woods. We found lots of briars but nothing much else. We decided to go and check out a site that we had passed on the way to the cellar. Made a few phone calls and a visit to the city hall and permission granted! Hit that site for an hour or so till the rain ran us off.
We spent the day yesterday at the same site and the finds were not what I was expecting.
Two tax tokens, four wheats, a pile of insulators and a spoon. :P
Here's a lesson learned too...On the way to this last site yesterday, we passed by a site that looked promising. We stopped by to get permission only to find out it was a house that someone started building years ago and never finished. While talking to the owner I mentioned that we were headed to the property up the road and he says to me, "You can't hunt there! Mr. SoinSo owns that property!!!"
I say, "Well, according to city hall, the city owns it and after getting permission yesterday, we hunted there. I guess we need to go back to city hall and clarify." So back to city hall, got permission AGAIN and back to the site. As a courtesy, the mayor came to see us and chat a bit. Come to find out...the mayor is kin folk! Lesson learned: Usually those with the sour attitudes don't have a clue.

Now, those insulators, that's a find!!! They look so pretty sitting in a window sill. I'm seeing something in the middle of that house pic too.

Didn't know what I was doing, wish I had them back!
