Feel like I am moving up in MDing!

This week I found an app of TOPO maps and started looking locally for old homesites. I found a house and shop site that was within walking distance of my house. Walked past this spot every day for 7 years and never knew it was there. So I geared up and went down there today. Pretty much thinking I would find it and just poke around a little. Boy was I rewarded. Nothing fantastic but me being a newby to all this I was thrilled! I researched it located it and got some good stuff in my book! I will be back no doubt, thinking there must be a few coins there at least.

Nice finds. Research is the key to this hobby. The older the places you find, the older your finds will be (typically) !

I still shave with a razor like that! I'm old and rickety too, cut myself often - got a beard now that I'm hiding up the holler! I do get out though - church time again!

 

[Whyme]

Old newspapers, talking to older people about places, and old maps are great resources. Congrats on your finds!

Congrats you officially have the detecting bug and fun addiction if I must say so. Though I'm not a dirt digger but lakes and beach, so I'd say put that AT Pro in the water and see what you find.

Good job your becoming a true treasure hunter. Also you can get a recent map of your area and one from 100 years ago and put it on top to see where old places are compared to 100 years ago you can also gps it to go to the exact location Well done
