I wrote a little about this before, then got busy. and had to leave it alone
for a while. There is a train track that runs tru my land, this thing is very
old, most of the rail has been removed. I'm finding the rail spikes at reg.
intervols, and i am marking off the direction the tracks ran. the tracks split
and go in two direction, I have found brakes and small parts of rail. In one
area there is lot's of coal, and all kinds of iron parts, from small to maybe
50 or 60 lbs. I found an iron "hook" pitcure a 2 foot fish hook, it's maybe 20
lbs. I know I'm missing a lot with my Garrett 350, and hope to get a Fisher1266X
sometime this summer. I found a few bettons, small about the size of a dime.
Pine trees have grown up in the area, and there are lots of small bushes.
Its slow working the tracks, but with getting an alignment on the tracks,
finding the direction it keeps going, is not to hard. I'm hoping to find some
personal things the men working the tracks may have lost, likes coins, knife
gun, but so far no luck. I know this is not a lost treasure story, but i though
it may be interesting to some of you.
