1st EVER FEBRUARY HUNT

I went out at lunch time today with some decent weather and some grassy areas at work.  I tried my delta which seemed to work well.  Found 51 cents - 2-q and penny(zinc) - 3 coins.   I'll take the hunt since the weather is supposed to get bad tomorrow.

SEARCHING OLD HOUSES - TIP OF THE WEEK

One tip for searching an old house site is where the clothes line is or use to be.  Another place that was used was a fence..as in most old farms - the fence ran close to the house..so be sure to check the fence areas.  You could check next to trees and areas that you might think people would have buried money since banks weren't trusted and someone in the family would hide the money from others.
