Another old homesite

[Mr. Magoo]

This site I have been trying to get permission to hunt for about a month. House built in 1820's or so and used up to 1910. and finally got the time to go with the son of the landowner. Only problem was that he is a "follow you around" guy and when you find something it is his-I'm sure you know the one's. Weather was great except for the 50 mph ice cold winds that about blew us over as we hunted. I did manage to find a few things but junk everywhere so I used coin setting instead of relic. Found a hbent heart shaped brass broach that cleaned up good and a 1959 NC Wildlife Resources Fishing Net Tag #6007. I found a quartz indian arrowhead with point busted and an old Yale padlock that says on back "Made for USN". Then he wanted to go under the house and we found some bottles and canning jars and then inside where I found three old marbles and an old Heddon Lucky 13 fishing plug made of Balsa wood. All in all, it wasn't a bad day, but much was found just going to the site rather than detecting.

Be sure to check under the shade trees. They look to be as old as the house.....

try to find the old outhouse probe the land until you find it and your probably guaranteed to find some nice goodies.

The kid painted the outhouse -- just look at the stink rising up from it Gotta be it.

Man that is a great site and if theres alot of trash in the yard that just means theres still alot of goodies. One way you can get your space the next time you go is eat a large bowl of Pinto's and cornbread before you go and let the landowners son have it a time or two. Guar-on-tee he'll give you your space LMAO

Wow, what a cool house. I could sit in the yard and stare at it for an hour. Sorry that you didn't find lots of stuff but it sure looks like the site has potential.
