DELAYED POST : Hi, this Thread was delayed due to technical and physical problems on my end ok.
what happened was that I met a guy here, JWarner, from Nevada. He had a friend who was coming to Boston that wanted to go digging. I contacted him and we traded our info. We arranged for his friend Jeff Thompson to meet me here at my house and we'd go digging from here on August 17th. Well the big day came and sure enough me and Jeff hooked up. When I planned this Hunt I wanted to give Jeff the best chance at finding Colonial coins and stuff so I planned that we would go to Dartmouth, MA
I did some research and found 9 Farms in that area. The reason I chose that area was because it served as the main food supply area for the Colonists in the 1600's as they migrated from East to West.
Well when we got there we got permission to hunt 5 of the 9 farms. Thing was the grass was so high we could not swing a detector because of it. So we werre very limited in the areas we really could hunt. After doing a few fields we stumbled upon the Cromwell Farm and got permission to hunt. Well we searched the whole front part of the farm and found ZERO.!!! So we went to a back part of the farm. The first signal I got was a toasted LC and nothing else turned up for either of us. Then we tried a few more farms to no avail at all. That's right folks, We got SKUNKED.!!! I could not believe it myself. 5 Colonial Farms and only one fried LC to show for it. We were shocked.!!!
We tried to get permission to hunt one last farm but were denied.
The good part of the whole thing is that I made 2 new good friends from Nevada and even though we got skunked we can make plans to go digging in the future. NONE of this would ever have been possible if had not been for TNet. I want to thank all those Admins who keep this place running so smoothly. May God Bless you guys for all your hard work.
To Joshua & Jeff, Don't worry guys. We will nail it on our next hunt ok. God Bless. PEACE:RONB
