Yesterday 7 of us from TN got together at our house for a hunt. I could'nt believe all the gifts that were brought. After much story telling, and treasre tales, we hit the road and started at the old Grist Mill. Much to our surprise the area was VERY clean. A 1919 wheatie, an old flat button (which is soaking to see the marks on the back) a piece with colored plastic stones, a unique what is it, oh I got an old bottle cap 
, and Scott found a modern quarter, we're not sure if Lara planted it for him or it came out of his own pocket .
We did decide to hit the corn fields and pumpkin patch, what a beautiful place to be. Lots of old lead which is promising, rusty tractor parts, few bullets, a 1910 wheatie and a modern dime.
Off to the town owned field above my house. The grass was a liitle tall and there were thousands of grass hoppers scurryigng around, every step they would jump out all over the place. We weren't there but 15 min, when we heard the quick bleep of a siren, then....."EVERY ONE OUT OF THE FIELD" from the loud speaker
. I went to talk with the "NICE" officer. He explained to me that a neighbor had called ad was afraid we would be taking Indian Artifacts 
. I asked "with a METAL detector?" He explaind we could walk around with our detectors all we wanted, but it would be a FELONY if we removed any thing from town property and he could arrest us (not that he had a problem with us being there at all ) STATE LAW ya know. I tried to explain to him he was mistaken, but I agreed to leave ( before "I" ended up in the back of the cruiser, I shook his hand ![:-\](https://www.treasurenet.com/smilies/undecided.gif "Undecided :-\")
and we departed grumbling and laughing. It was my husbands idea to try the field 
.
Off to hunt around the woods by my house, nothing to write home about, so we grabbed our SCOUT Dan for the tour and headed down below the dam, where we found a well dug bottle dump, fossils, drift wood, some rusty iron, an old pair of pliers (left the detectors home, it was too steep a climb to haul the stuff with us). We laughed allot down there walking the rocks looking for a stray arrow head, telling stories and bantering back and forth. Lucky even had to carry his wonderful old dog through a couple of spots.
It was a beautiful day, and there is so much more to tell. I would like to thank you all for comming and I look forward to Fall when we hit those fields again. Thanks for all the presents!
