Thanks for the concern fellas (Darren and Jeff). I would think that if the people that go in the house to party stole the loot that the first thing they would take there their spoils home to sell on ebay or something. Thanks for all the replys everyone I always look foward to checking out new replys while I'm at school. I will keep you all updated as I post new finds on my website.
More comments or questions welcomed!!!

Matt, great finds!!! just be careful in those old houses. You gotta have a friend that would be willing to go out and search with you, someone that "has your back". Keep at it and keep us posted!!

Nice finds Matt,but on the safe note again, I have bought a few old homes to remodel that were used as a party house to, and you have to be very careful where you stick your hands.Have seen a lot of needles thrown in walls, drawers and so on. SAFE HUNTING

I dunno, this all sounds a little crazy to me! Party house full of drunks? Basically more than just treaspassing by entering with out breaking? Removing property from private property? I'd watch out if I were you. You might end up hurt or in jail.

what the hey! you're under 18, hopefully no priors you probably won't do any time! seriously a record is a hard thing to live down and I would be very careful about entering unknown property! 8)

Hi MATT that sound exciting keep it up you seam to have commonsense & are vary smart for a 15 year old. Dint let this guys take the fun out of it they mean well & they have been doing it a long time. But you are 15 with a desire to free this history you have been finding. If you have a local museum see if you can show your finds that is what me & my son have done & it is fun. As for the cut good job you will tell that story for a long time. You have Adventure in your SOLE you are WILD AT HEART we are all made in God's image. THE WILD ONE WHOSE IMAGE WE BEAR.

You are standing on the brink of what could be the greatest adventure you'v ever known & your fiercest battle.

Matt,

Thanks for sharing your finds with us.? You did great and "survived" the jungle!? Remember, it's one thing to hunt, but it's another thing to be hunted!? Be careful in all your journeys throughout the home front.? I visited your new site and I must say that it is in my opinion, FIRST CLASS!? Keep up the pace and best wishes.

Matt,
some awesome finds, but you really need to be careful with entering any "abandoned" property. Not a lecture here, jsut a few things to be wary of
1. trespassing on gov't property carries heavier fines that regular prop.
2. Party houses may also be used for clandestine labs - full of booby traps that are desined to kill, ,maim and destroy any eveidence should it be discovered
3. if you would enter into a house that is under survielance because it is a known drug house, or storage area for stolen goods, guess who gets the rap for the crimes
4. The most important thing to learn about finding goods like this (possibly illegally) is not to tell everyone how you came across it....I do not suggest this....I can only suggest not doing the house entries unless it is scheduled for demolition and you get permission from the people demolishing the home to enter for reasons you can come up with

Keep it safe would love to see what you post in the future given the finds you got already

With the smarts you have a 15 to find the goods in the house would hate to see it wasted in jail instead of a good college to learn how to hunt the big treasures in the oceans and jungles.

Thanks everyone! I had just updated the site not to long ago. You can read the story and see the pics under the Story page if you haven't already. Last Sunday I went detecting at the house I had found the cache at. Only thing I found worth keeping was a 1919 wheatie. Anyways, just as I got anto the street as I was leaving a old truck pulled up in the driveway. I watched two men get out of the truck as I was walking up the hill. They went in the house and started taking stuff out like furnature and other stuff. I figured that they were going to take it to sell at a garage sale or something like that. It wasn't the owner of the place since I have a pic of the owner that I had took from the house that has his name on it. Thanks for the safety advise as I sometimes don't think of safety when I'm TH'ing. Be sure to check out my website at the end of each month to check out monthly finds pics. Matt

Hey, great finds. Only problem I have is a little jealousy, but I'll get over that.
