undetected grounds

[sod buster]

Hey all. I really hit the jackpot early this spring. I met a farmer who has been a wealth of info, he is 78 years old, lived here all his life, and has a great memory. He has now showed me 12 old home sites, 1 old church site, 1 old school site and 1 old town site. The best part is, all but the old town site is undetected, and i have permission to detect it all. So far i have found a 1916s merc, an 1899 v nickel 5 old trade tokens 6 wheets, and an 8 foot buck saw, just to mention a few hilights. Ill post some pictures just as soon as i can learn to use my new digital camera. OH ya he also showed me the farms old dump site with lots of bottles and goodies such as the baby buggy i brought home, and wagon jack. Watch for pics.

Just goes to show the old folks have a ton of info. Most of them are just looking for someone to tell all their stories to as well.

hey DigginD It has been my experience that you wont find much helpfull info on finding things such as old dumps on the web. It seems that the best thing is to do your own foot work. If you know of a turn of the century farm, stop and ask permission, alot of times the farm is still in the family and they more than likely will know where the old dump site was. Good luck

How about an equitable trade- 7 old home sites, 1 old church site, and 1/2 of an old school site and we show you how to use your camera? Or we can just set back and wait for the pics. LOL
