Okay... so I am a little excited to get my detector tomorrow (earlier than expected)..... been doing research to find areas to hunt.....
So tonight I came across 1879 plat records for my county I live in. I am out in the country and figured there will be some early 1900 houses I can scout out and get permissions, but this one threw me for a loop. I can get a general idea of houses that were established mid 1800's and up to these 1879 plats. Looking at Google Earth and local country GIS source, I will be able to find landowners.
Here is my big question.... a lot of these are big fields and the owners don't really live on them, just cultivate for hay or cows and such, so how hard do I need to try to catch them?
Thanks.
