This spring's first target

Found this old homestead last spring. Wasn't able to hit it last year, but am now can check it out. Also haven't been able to find out anything about it. Any tips?

That looks like an awesome place to MD. I'd grid it off & dig everything! :thumbsup:

Need to find you some old maps. I found mine on historicmapworks.com. Thanks to Merf for giving me this site. :icon_sunny:
 
Re: This spring's first target

Looks like it going to be a great place to detect. Keep us posted on your finds....Matt
 
Re: This spring's first target

Looks good; believe I'd dig every hit too. You might even apply a little archaeology technique to the site. Pay close attention to the outhouse site. It's a lot of digging, but there may be more than one. When I was real little, if one hole started getting too full, they would dig a new hole a ways off and pull the outhouse over to that one, filling in the old one. Sometimes they wouldn't have to ever move it, depending on the type of ground or amount of usage. Post your finds for all of us to be jealous of!

Dig all signals for awhile, the draw your own conclusion. That's why we're called "detectorists".

Re: This spring's first target

Trusty

You could call first or drive over to the U.S.D.A. in Reed City, for a Osceola Co., Plat book, which show land owner names.

and if they " the land owner " hold the deed to the land, it would show the history of ownership back to the first person owning the land in the 1800s.

Good Luck!
