Todays eye candy, the expedition begins.... :)

[j.d. in the usa]

Howdy everyone, thanks again for all your well wishes, I'm steadily coming along... Steve has been trying to get me out the house all week but I havnt bothered going anywhere, I guess I was falling into a depression of sorts.
Well Steve showed up this morning and said a new Doctor at the hospital he works at has an old estate thats a few hundred acres and has a War of 1812 fort on his property... and he got us permission to go detect it, and he wanted me to go with him to check the area out and take pics... well this area turned out to be awsome... he kept teasing me how's your neck and shoulder feeling now?? lol
You know how hurt I am when you see these pics I just couldnt hold the detector yet to detect these spots I was drooling!! but its getting close, well the day turned out even better than expected we met a person while taking pics who's family owns even better places to detect.. Steve that silver tounged Devil did it again.. in 5 min. we had permission to detect these spots in the future we will hit them hard... One is Danial Boones uncles old homestead only the stone fireplace is left standing another is the site of an old church been around since the 1830's, one spot is a log cabin where they used to hide confederate soldiers during the Civil War...man theres so much history and stories we were told from these spots, it was the best thing for me today.. I'm dying to hit these places to detect, Steve knew he would get me fired up again...WOW...I cant wait to post the finds from these spots soon!!! hh all jd

Actually I will be--canoeing on the Current River for a week.

While I am there I am going to ask the rangers if I can detect the gravel bars.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!! Thought I was having an ACT looking at those pics! It's a wonder my Laptop didn't short out from all the drool! Glad to see you're doing fine! If those Pics don't get you going, nothing will!!
Keep us informed, JD.

I was going to say..... drool.......... drool........ drool,drool,drool, but everyone beat me to it. So I won't be saying.... drool........drool.........drool,drool,drool at this time.

What a fantastic opportunity you have there. I don't know if you have some kind of a time frame there, but take it real slow. We all have a tendency to try to cover as much ground as we can, but it really doesn't add up to more finds. Write the story as you go along, documenting your finds, it would be a great article for the magazine.

I understand that Daniel Boone eventually moved to MO. and passed away at Samuels place.

This is so cool, you are one lucky dog! Can't wait to hear all the details down the road.

Good luck!...Get well!........HH

J.D.--- I almost chocked on my beer when I saw those pics.

I have never seen a better looking hunting spot.

You are a lucky man. Glad you are getting better.

 

[paul1410]

Fantastic looking sites, JD! I can't wait to hear about the hunts on these sites. Glad to hear you're getting out and around too.

 

[Wasabi]

Wow JD, I hope for your sake that no one has hunted those sites yet. The log cabin style home looks like a fantasy dream hunt come true.
I hope you find the good stuff.
Keep us posted.

 

[Eddy1H]
