The little island

[wolcottdigger]

I made my third trip to a little island in a lake near my house.
I found some 1934 aerial photos of the lake and noticed a small
building on the island. It's completely over grown with trees now
and accessible from a short causeway. Before the dam was built
in 1916 and the area flooded the house sat on a small hill which
is now a small island. Today I got seven wheats 1920 to 1952
and a 1953 dime. In past trips I got about two dozen wheats a
mercury dime and a 1894 barber quarter. My friend got some
wheats and a nice 1864 Indian head. It's very tough digging,
lots of roots.

Great finds and I'll bet there is plenty more!

Ct is a great place to hunt with all the public land. Keep hunting and posting!

Remember to search at the corners of the house out to 3 feet.

Remember to sit/stand at whats left of all the entryways and see if you can see anything that could of been used as a landmark from there to "plant" a container, or ?, in the distance for safekeeping.
