Good morning ARC, Dave, Jim, rook and the rest of the crew.

Well done on the finds Dave that unusual button caught my eye.
 

Off to work now... hope everyone has a great day! :icon_thumright:
6:30am say what? You're too dedicated man.
Oh I get it you're moving from the kitchen table to the desk.:icon_thumright:
 

Morning rook, Bill, WD top of the morning.
 

"Thanks ARC. :laughing7: I actually woke up with a pounding headache this morning.
All I can think is that I must've been dehydrated from detecting for 5hrs yesterday without any water."

Everyone PLEASE help our buddy Dave out and post up ideas of water bottle carriers BECAUSE:

"I'm leaving, it's getting hot and my water bottle is back in the truck."


Do you remember the hat/helmet that held a can of beer on each side with tube/straw to drink it? How about converting it to holding water bottles? :dontknow:
 

I have found a lost treasure legend right in my "neighborhood." I can't believe it. I have had this local history book for several years now. I bought it to see if there was anything in there about this farm or the people who lived on it. I picked it up last night to scan through it again. Here's what I found:

" Shortly thereafter all of those tribes moved west. A story has been passed down that a year or so after the last Indians left this area, a young brave on a pony, rode in from the west. He stayed at the *********** farm looking for silver coins which his people had robbed from earlier settlers. These coins were supposed to be buried at the base of a tree. He rode back to the west, after a week or so, with an empty saddlebag. "

So, I look up a map to find this farm. My guess (hey this is new for me, so lots of room for error) is there is about 30-50 years between when the Indians moved west and when the map was made. There are a couple of farms right next to each other with that name. I am thinking maybe heirs split the farm. There has been development of course over these nearly 200 years. But, I have never heard this story before or any story of coins being found. I figured out that my older grandsons' other grandma currently lives on a fraction of one of these farms. Sounds like a place to start, don't you think? She is not real fond of us, but if I include the boys, she might be willing to give us the go ahead to look.
 

"She is not real fond of us"

The old case of "The inlaws are outlaws"
