Yielded a iron buckle, shot gun shell, 2 bullets one shot, one short and weird and what I THOUGHT was silver in the hole!!!!! UGGGGH very disappointing trip today.

Although here’s something interesting the new owner of the home just texted me.

“You may be interested to know that yesterday I was sorting through another box and found a group of papers stating the history of the house. It’s specifically referenced a slave graveyard In the woods near the house. Saying it was found by one of the daughters in the early 1900s. Maybe 1920s. Also gave an approximate location.”

Now I won’t detect that graveyard spot, but it sure would be amazing to go see and detect around that area.

Good man to respect the dead. Folks don't have a sense of humor when they see someone standing in a graveyard with a shovel in their hands.
 

Another great day.Congrats. Hot down there? 107 heat index here today. Gonna try in the morning. Got one of those caps with a little fan on the bill. Maybe the EMI won't be to bad.

Yeah not a good look when you’re having your best gold wedding ring day ever.

I hunt in Mississippi too I’m 45 mins from the state line. So so hot I was out at 5:45 started sweating waking to the truck. Feels like Louisiana and Mississippi are the armpits of America [emoji631] lol
