Just out of town. It's on the historic register so you can't detect around it darn it! The owner from NY is letting just fall apart....what a shame.




 
own an old house like that, but they bring top dollar when sold and the maintence is very expensive. Thanks for sharing. Kelley (Texas) :)
 
The owner should be forced to look after an historic building such as that......once it's gone,it's gone forever.
The bottom photo has a lot of atmosphere,beautiful but quite scary at the same time......the blackness behind the door is quite eerie.
 
Nice job, Dave. Too bad you can't get a detector on it. I can tell there are some large cents just waiting for you!
 
Thanks. There are a lot of old places like that around here but most will throw you out or fine you....even in some of the town commons which I don't agree with. Probably some jerk went and left big holes so they ban it now.
 
Very nice shots, Dave. The light from the thunder storm does really fantastic.
 
When I was through there last spring I didn't detect in Connecticut, Rhode Island or Massachusetts. Like you said there were lots of great looking places, but the few where I stopped were non-players.
 
You did it again! I caught myself staring at that old house. It's sad that it's not going to be kept up. Have you talked to the owner about detecting it since they're not going to restore it? Even though it's on the historic register, if he gave you permission, it would be fair game. Am I right?

Beautiful! Just beautiful!!!
 
Thanks Nancy.....I think the owner is in New York and the whole town is upset that he's letting it go and looking for laws that will prevent that but so far can't do anything about. I may be wrong but if it's on the historic register you can't detect. Even at the shore on part of Cape Cod in Massachusetts, I hear if you detect they can take your detector, vehicle etc etc yet it's ok to pick up old pottery shards and sea glass.....the coins and metal can rot though....I just don't get it!
 
It's the same over here Dave,there are loads of historic sites that contain many hidden treasures that can't be detected.What really annoys me is that the laws that be won't organise official groups of detectorists to help save these treasures.Many coins and artefacts are slowly being lost because they are left to corrode in the soil.
Another really annoying fact is that detectorists have discovered some of the best coins and artefacts this country has ever seen,which has given us more of an insight into our past than archeology alone can provide.There is still a snobbery over here about detectorists,many "Archie's" still look on detectorists as plunderers even though they have discovered some of our countries most important treasures.
 
That's the government for you. They've got to stick their necks out for everything.
