SilverTurtle Valued Member United States 371 Posts	Posted 03/25/2010 6:23 pm Some of the information I have found out about the search area: -House was moved, and destroyed in the process, and a new one was put in -Large area of farm fields for searching -Glasford Bank nearby, as well as some other banks -Large Wooded area behind the fields I tried detecting this area before and was heavily rushed. So I will need hours, even days or weeks to search the area entirely. Report this Post to the Staff
Saruma Pillar of the Community United States 968 Posts	Posted 03/27/2010 8:59 pm Do you know the location of the old house? That is a good place to start. Any info about any other structures on the property will help too. Strange as it sounds, a great spot to check would be where the outhouse used to be. Coins have a way of dropping out of pockets when someone drops their drawers! Report this Post to the Staff

My oldest find last year was a spanish reale, well worn but dated 1758. I dug it in the yard of a Michigan farm. Make darn sure you have permission to hunt private and even public property, and cover your holes. My newest thing is to look for old yards with newer homes on them. Keep in mind detectors have been around for 50 years or better, not much virgin territory left! When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors... Roll hunting since '77 Dirt fishing since '72 Report this Post to the Staff

The house was in front of where the Garage is: However, I believe the land was filled in there, and I think the outhouse is in the location the new house is. I will check the mailbox area. fistfulladirt; Quote: MD'ing is my passion. Any spot with history may hold relics and goodies. My oldest find last year was a spanish reale, well worn but dated 1758.

Don't worry, I have my Grandpa's permission. I'm pretty certain that the area has not been searched. Report this Post to the Staff
