So here are my options:
1. Detect a house site in the woods on my grandmas farm from the early 1900s, or
2. Detect a house site that burned down about ten years ago and has been abandoned ever since.
House site 1. Pros:
I have permission
It's accesible
House site 1. Cons:
My dad has hunted it before
There is a lot of junk there according to him.
House site 2.
Unknown build date, but it's about 300 yards from a grist mill that was built in 1782. It also has a stone cellar foundation.
Is 100% abandoned, and is a virgin site.
House site 2 cons:
I do not have permission because I don't know what ever happened to whoever owned it.
It's probably tick heaven.
