Beautiful spot today

Been wanting to hit this spot a long time. Didn't find much but it's nice to have thawed ground.

Love the picture, looks like a great spot. Good to see you are out tearin it up already.

We have done well in plains. There's no snow or frost over there. Have you made it out yet?

 

[frostdigger]

Hit the lake a couple times, lots of clad and fishing tackle. Sure felt good to be out though.

Oooh, that is a nice spot! Makes me wonder, though, at all the old places, how often did people lose change? Of course, there's aways the chance that a $20 gold piece just "fell out" while someone was drunk, and they couldn't find it.

That's the lure, anyway.

Beautiful scenery! I bet there is goodies waiting to be found!

Skippy I think your right. The owner told us it was his great grandpa's and we wouldn't find any coins and he was right. Just a lot of old rifle casings and a buckle and a,few buttons.

Too bad. But still, there's always the thrill of the hunt! I've found that old farmsteads just aren't the place to find coins..> not unless there were gobs of kids. Coins were commonly kept in the house unless needed, then retrieved. Occassionally folks will get really lucky and find a stash or two, but that's not been my experience. Just iron, iron, bullets, and more iron.

One day, though, I'll find that drunk guy's place and hit the jackpot!
