Howdy All, I went to check out a Triumph motorcycle chopper today and will probably go back to buy it Monday. After talking about the bike, I asked about any metal detecting sites. He pointed across the road to a old farm house about 100 yards away. I asked who owned it and it ended up being a friend of mine that gave me permission to hunt any of his properties years ago. He is a logger and is always buying, timbering and then selling the land. We walked over to find one of his employees there who said the property was in the middle of being sold, so I got directions to the buyers place. We ended up on a 200 + acre farm over a mile off of the road. The owner was extra nice and even rode us around the farm to show us a late 1700s/ early 1800s cemetery, just uphill of the old mill and mill house site. He also drove us around to several freshly plowed fields including one that looks like a perfect Indian camp site that had just been deep plowed for the first time in 50 years. He gave us permission to hunt any of his land whenever we wanted. The fields were very muddy, so we went back to the house site. Pennies were popping up like candy including several wheats. Then I got a great signal and popped up a 1944 D half dollar about three inches deep. Filled in the hole, swept it again and BEEP. Opened it back up to pick up the 1950 half. What a great day. steve
