So i started hunting like back in 2003. Was out of the hobby the last few years while rebuilding a vehicle. Just recently got back in. Back in the day I had a really good spot to hunt. Most of my best finds came from there. Well it's supposedly off limits these days. So lately I've been hitting the normal schools and parks. Have been missing finding the really good stuff. And seeing all the good stuff everyone else is finding!
So I've been on here reading about door knocking and such. Trying to figure out how to up my game. Actually went online today and ordered some cards. But anyway I was looking at a FB post someone posted recently in a nearby small town. It was like 5 guys on horseback in front of an old store. I commented asking if the store was still there. Someone said no it's where the Shell station is now. This town popped up around 1850. Anyway someone else commented about the pic and how she lives in this one persons old house. Says she's the second owner of this 95 year old house. She mentions her love for history. So I replied to her and explained my love of history and asked if I could metal detect her yard and see what pieces of history might have been lost over the years. She comes back with "Well sure. Every time I put in a flower bed I dig up something." There's a famous store in town that's still open today and famous for their BBQ. This house was were the original owner of that store lived. The store is famous for serving BBQ to a past President of the United States.
So anyway I'm excited. And I'm going to start asking people about their yards now. I'll let ya know how it turns out.
