Got info on a new site - old jail from 1700's!!!

I went out to my boss's property over the weekend to MD on his private beach, which is just south of an old Fort (from the 1600's). Found very little, but another guy was there with a MD too and he goes there frequently.

As I was telling the boss what little treasures I did find, he told me that he knows this guy who has the remains of the old jail from the fort on his property!! The walls of the jail are still there, but crumbling down. WOW... I could hardly contain myself I was sooooo excited!! Who knows what other buildings used to be there! OF course our 70 degree weather is ending today, and winter will be here tomorrow to stay. I just had to share!!! Private land with real history... a MD's dream. I cannot wait til spring now!

Welcome aboard Stacy,

Glad to have you with us. This sounds like a great area. I would hit it as soon as you can and hopefully it will be very productive for you. Look forward to your pics & a story when you get to hunt it.
