Yeah, that's tough Jim. I got on a few sites that were marked as well....Like you said, what is the worst they can say? No?
Tell them they are welcome to join along to see the relics go to the museum.
Good luck buddy.

It would be a No No in the UK, a SSI site, do you know if the land has ever been turned by the plough?

its not been plowed in recent history which i think might be a good thing because of no use of chemicals most likely pure organic farming back then ,here a photo of what it looks like now and back then also .

In Va , unless they've changed it in the past few years, Mding is considered the same as hunting. You might want to check the laws in the area you live in.

Where were you located out here ? that building is almost in Riverhead not far from my place in Southold
 
My dad built a summer home on Cox Neck Rd. in Mattituck back in the mid to late sixties which he retired to in the late seventies and unfortunately sold in the nineties. I lived there year round 77' - 84' then bounced back and forth from the north and south fork. But my favorite place Iv'e ever lived was in a rental on a lagoon in Cutchogue on Peconic Bay. A one bedroom studio (converted garage) during summer season. I think it was $185.00 a month
Actually , that guard house is in Aquebogue down the road from the Snack Bar isn't it?
