Is the brick yard near the central Hudson gas works and the lumber yard that's out of business now. What points of interest are near the brick yard.
/QUOTE]

I have seen Bills post about this before but never heard of it (and I have lived here my whole life). I believe he is talking much farther north of the gasworks on route 9 in Hyde Park near the Culinary Institute of America. About the only thing I know about up there is a gypsy camp, everything in that area is either owned by the CIA or large developers or the federal govt.

Now, there is a hill right in the Town of Poughkeepsie on Route 44 that is known as Brickyard Hill, so his post has confused me each time I came across it...

Anyhow, I am frequently available on Mondays, some Saturdays and Sundays and I can probably be available other times if something comes up that is worth rearranging my life which consists of a 2 year old son a 7 year old daughter and the wife and I work full time... A lot of you guys and gals out there have already lived through this so you know where I am coming from..

Sunday

Are we still on for Sunday? I know we planned this about 2 months ago... the 6th?
 
Two stinkin barbers, 2 spoons, one token with a five on it and 1 silver Washington

I was out at one of the 1700s farm today. This farm has given up all sorts of great things in the past like a militia belt plate, New Jersey and Connecticut Coppers, a 1700s Irish coin, and a lot more.

Today all it wanted to give up was two barber dimes, a token with a five on it, a 64 Washington quarter, button and some buckle pieces, spoons and a whole lot of trash. after close to 7 hours of detecting my arm is tired from swinging the 17 inch coil.

Three silvers is quite a few for me since most of the detecting I am doing is where you are going to find old coppers.
