I would brush up on your sod cutting skills, and get a drop towel for extra dirt.

Make sure a detective can't see your holes!

You could detect for years at this place as long as your confident in your skills of leaving NO trace of your detecting...

WTG!!! Keep Us Posted! I'd love to do a CW Hunt someday!

 

[TR Mook]

Sounds great! Be sure to post plenty of pictures. Sounds like a once in a lifetime opportunity. Have fun and please, PLEASE take great care of the property. If you do, no doubt you'll be invited back whenever you please!

WOW..Your a lucky guy to have a chance at a place like that..All i can say is dont make a mess and dig all signals...Best of luck to ya

Great Opportunity

Great site, but me personally...I would have reservations about hunting what is technically a burial site...Not so sure they burried em the full 6 feet back then...But on the other hand, someone was probably buried on almost any piece of land you walk on at some point in history...
I am sure after a few days tossing it over in my head that I could justify it somehow...


HH,

Good luck and have fun, I be sitting here dreaming of that kinda hunt..

Update

Hey guys,
Ok, i went yesturday and what a really awesome place, there is 125 acres to be detected, wow. There is a 6 acre area that is known for the exact campsite. Yesturday i found :
1 - horse stirrup buckle ( sweet )
1 - unshot bullet ( sweet )
7 - iron nails
1 - iron spike
pieces of aluminum
pieces of iron ( small )
piece of an old clay pot

There are so many signals and the ground is very hard to dig, i broke 2 digging tools yesturday, both were plug cutters made in china i reckon.
I will post my pictures as soon as i get a camera ( sorry )
I will get a camera today and i will try to find some better digging tools !
Good Luck Everyone ,
Keex
