I had been looking forward all week to getting out and seeing if we could find this old cemetery and house !
I got up early this morning, grabbed a quick shower, went out to the car and when I started it, was knocking so loud I am almost SURE to engine is shot ( was just bragging to omni how it had a bazzilion miles on it and how good of a car it has been) girlfriend gave me a ride to my moms and i borrowed her truck and started my drive.
still a lot of snow on the ground but it did get up to fifty, we found several areas that the ground wasnt frozen to detect but where I am pretty sure the old cemetery is was frozen solid with snow still on it but did get to run the detector over it and had a lot of nice hits, will get back to that spot when the weather gets nicer, did walk most of the 120 acres though and found several places where the ground wasnt frozen to detect, didnt find much but we had a lot of fun and nice to get out and enjoy the 50+ degree weather,
found a rock with lead in it (know it is lead because there is some on the surface) very strange find, anyone ever come across this?

1 old horseshoe
very long rivet, about the length and diameter of a pencil
newer penny
and a great fossil while crossing the creek, rock was about 12" x 8" and coming out of the top of the rock looks like a cutaway section of a honey comb ( anyone have any clues what this might be?

Next time I will try to get pics, left my camera, shovel and back-up batterys home, wasnt thinking right after I found out about the car!

Sorry about your car, I hope its not the engine maybe you'll get lucky and it will be something simple. Glad you got a chance to get out though. Good luck with the car.
 

the fossil is of coral very common but i have yet to find some that big, yet, so cool deal clean it up and use it as a book end, paper weight, conversation table peice!good luck on your hunt ;D
 

sorry to hear about your car, ironicly my entire exaust fell off yesterday, and I spent all day at muffler city! great finds! hope you can get out again soon! 8)
 

doesnt look like little shells, I will try to get a pic of it next time I am down there

Omni, sorry to hear about your car! to funny that the night before we were both talking about how good are OLD cars are, WE SHOULD HAVE "knocked on wood"!! ;D

and pretty sure it has to be the motor, has a HORRIBLE knock to it but doenst make sense that I drove it the day before and everything was great when I parked it (change oil myself regularly) and it is a newer motor, probably only has about 15,000 miles on the engine, oh well guess thats how it goes sometime, I figure if I am going to have to buy a new vehicle I will have to do it right, thinking about a 4wd 4door truck
 

Make sure you keep us posted on that cemetary when you get back out there after the thaw.

Good luck on the car repairs! Hopefully your bill won't be that high :'(
