1800's Dr.s house.....yes I can!
Hubby and I went out exploring the country side.....long story short.....driving down a long country road, hubby was telling me that he thought a guy he went to school with moved to the area years ago, as we topped the hill we noticed a man tending some property. Slammed on the breaks, backed up and the man came over, stuck his head into the window and said, "You know that I still hate you!" Well I was hoping that it was all in fun, and thank goodness it was! He proceeded to tell me that Charlie (hubby) was the only guy in high school that could beat him in arm wrestling. Well, we told him that we were out looking for some possible places for me to metal detect and he said "I got a perfect place for you!" First off we helped him to corral some cows from one pasture to another, then off to see the family cabin and barn that was built by his GGrandfather in the 1800's! You know I was in heaven seeing all this stuff! Just before dark he took us down the road a piece and we drove up to an old two story house. He said "Here ya go....this aught to keep you busy for a while!" He told me that he had bought this place and that it had been owned by a doctor back in the 1800's. It sits on 100 acres and has a couple of old barns. It's all grown up and falling in. I'm going there tomorrow and by golly I'm gonna try! There is an old rock wall by the drive and from some of the posts that I have read on here, I think I'll make that my starting point.
If any of you have any advice to offer......I'm listening!
