i had a nice little chat on Jan 1st with a lady who runs a small business along with her husband not too far from me.
their property is approximately 10 acres and what caught my eye for some time now is a mowed field that's visible from the highway. everytime i drive by, i think to myself: "there's GOT to be stuff there waiting to be detected by someone like me, lol".
the field was former pasture land years ago, now it's kept mowed like a lawn, there's both hardwood and softwood areas in behind the field, so basically a little bit of everything. i think she said there were some old rock walls way in near the back too, but no cellar holes that she was aware of.
anyway, i explained my hobby to her and permission was granted with no questions asked! (i knew her husband from school many years ago, and i've dealt with their business numerous times through my line of work, so i'm sure that helped my cause a bit, lol.)
the big issue right now is the weather! we get rain, then it freezes, then more rain, snow last night, rain all day today, back down well below freezing again tomorrow night....... arrrgggggg....!!
at least when things thaw out, i'll have some fresh ground to hit up!
(im)patiently waiting.......
