jeffro Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Ive recently acquired a metal detector and am looking for older properties/homesteads to hunt. Ive just started out and am not out to make a profit. Im simply out to collect old coins. What im looking for is someone who would let me sweep their property. I dig very small "plugs" and will leave the grass intact, looking the same as i found it. All trash dug will be kept and thrown away. Ill be respectful and not disturb your shit. Old farms, houses, or homesteads are what im after. I will show all finds to the property owner upon request. Id even be willing to share my finds. Willing to travel. PM me if you have some interest as to what may be beneath you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffro Posted May 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Actually been thinking about getting one myself. I suggest alum creek beach. May find some jewelry. I know someone who sells good ones locally. at a fair price too. I did my parents 1870 property and found 4 silver, a dozen wheat pennies, a 1850s large cent, and about 10 bucks in change, old horseshoes, and other old items.

You could ask my old neighbor on shanahan, just tell him you know me. Or you could try my old house it was built in the 1850s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Hal Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 My house is ~140 years old, but I think the only thing to be found in the backyard is dog shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImUrOBGYN Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Love some treasure hunting. haha I have used a metal detector in over 20yrs, though. No point unless you have a good one. I loved that thing. No more gold panning? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffro Posted May 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 What house was yours? I live on Shanahan now! Lol HA, my parents live off north road, Short street in particular. AJs old house is the white/stone house on the north side of shanahan just west of north road. Love some treasure hunting. haha I have used a metal detector in over 20yrs, though. No point unless you have a good one. I loved that thing. No more gold panning? I was seeing minimal results, even at high banks in the glacial deposit zone so i gave up.

Green Bastard Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 i didnt know there were any cr members that close to my old house, i remember when i was a kid i used to go down short st. to some dirt ramps they had back in the woods, that was prolly 15 years ago though. either way, if you talk to the people who own all the fields around shanahan they may let you search them when they arent planted. its a red house that sits directly behind the white one mentioned that me and my brother used to live in. theyre driveway though is west down the road a little, next to the next house down the road.

silverhatch Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 You could use my either of my propertys. I'm actually would like to find my class ring that I got mad and threw at an ex at one place. I rented a detector and tried to find it but no luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
