Bill Ladd, on the Saving History area......:usaa:

[vlad]

Have you had a chance to go back? Might be interesting behind the tractors. Have you tried the small loop on your F-75 in that cellar yet? And get a small Pick to go with your new SHOVEL.
[Have you tried the F-4 in that area? Its not a "cellar-dweller" exactly, pun intended-but its close.]

 

[Bill Ladd]

The answer is no......(so I guess I'll let you know how I do with the Coinstrike's 5 incher which is all I have). But I know those coins in the ad sure make everyone think I have an F4 right?
But, you have the right idea for sure on that site. I'm keeping my eye on that place to see if they begin digging around there. YOu gutta time it just right or they just completely fill these things right in! Only takes a day to wipe one out with heavy eqip......
Sometimes if we feel ambitious we rake away a few inches around the foundations.....moving some square nails often helps us get to things previously masked. May be worth it as that was a busy stagecoach stop......
Glad you liked the video so much. I bet you'll like the full length DVD once I'm done........I'm getting close. I hope to have some pressed up for the DIV at the end of March. Lots of people are asking for them & that epiosde is alot longer & better quality. The DVD will probably be 4 to 5, 20 min epiosdes on New England treasure hunting.......I'm working everyday on editing it. Trying to perfect it........
later,
Bill

With each new such as the F-2 and you now confirn the F-4. Wonder if they will show up when the F-70 and F-5 finally hit the market? Did they send a waiver asking permission to use your photos [intellectual property?] You already stated you were never credited for the photos???
And I hope the next time out to that cellar you bring a couple of strong friends with FULL SIZED SHOVELS AND A PICK-AXE and just try to remove a foot or more in some of the areas which have yielded the most goodies. And for that matter the areas that have not. And try the STAT MODE, and PUMP IT UP [as Elvis Costello sang]-that mode really has some POWER. That might make for a really interesting comparison vs the motion modes, enough for a magazine article.
