Todays short hunt at The Lazy Mans Rest........ Have to wait until??

crazyjarhead · Dec 27, 2008

Before I get into my post, I found some history on the Lazy mans Rest. A.P.Howard was a wealthy man who was born in Mass. In the early 1800's. He moved here in the early 1800's as well. I will post that info later (found on internet) So this place is pushing every bit of 175 years. Now, on to today's finds. Shortly after I arrived today I was greeted by the owner who told me he didn't want me hunting this weekend because a friend of his was deer hunting in the nearby woods. He failed to tell me this on Friday. I was not a happy camper! But I did recover some items in the front yard. Not pictured is the 1944 Wheaties. That's the only coin I found. Keep in mind that did not hunt very much at all. I have a long way to go. I took a picture of my 1875 plat maps to show you how far apart the J.A.McDonald place was from this place. 2 miles!! It doesn't get any better than that. I found a harmonic reed, a broken spoon handle (can't make out the name of the company), winchester leader shell bottom(patented 1892) end, some kind of ?? It says 75th anniversary. On the back it says something about the life of Virginia. A piece of toy money (looks familiar) I think I found one of these on a previous hunt. Also found part of a pocket watch, and a whats it?? That's all I pulled in today in about 1 hour. Hope the next hunt will produce some oldie coins :icon_sunny:

Hh Ron PS I failed to mention that if you look at my maps behind Lazy mans Rest A.P. Howard owned some more land. So with LMR and the other land I figured in my head around 2000 acres. This was in the early 1800's. That's a lot of land even in today's standards.

Yeah, he was talking "weekend". I'll drive by Sunday and check. His truck was there and I saw him heading back to the woods with gun in hand. The owner is just looking out for my sake, I guess.

Some great looking digs there. That is really a promising site. In most areas hunting isn't allowed on Sundays. Maybe you should check it out tomorrow.
