Old Abandoned House Gives Up Some Silver

Sooper Dave

Well-known member
[size=large]I worked out of town yesterday and brought the Etrac along to hunt an abandoned house. I hunted there once before for an hour, and found 2 Mercs and some wheats. I used my 6x8 SEF coil and took my time in the front of the place. It has a lot of grown up bushes and vines around the house, but the rest of the yard is clean. I started out with about 5 wheats and was hoping there would be some more silver in this yard. I got a good signal and was expecting another wheatie when I saw the Barber in the hole. The finds slowed down until I went to the side of the house and found the Indian and a few more Wheats. I then get a 12-42, once again thinking wheatie and out pops a worn Merc. The very next signal was 12-46,47 and was the silver Washington. I also found a Jefferson that someone used as a target. Not bad for a short hunt after work. HH David[/size]

great hunt!!!! how did you locate the owner?

Tax maps and tax property records online, then whitepages.com for a phone number, a lot of "mature" folks have a home phone and a listed number :lol:. I got permission from the owner's son. If I can't find a phone number, the tax records have the current address and I will door knock there or write a letter if it is too far out. I get told "NO" more over the phone than in person, but sometimes it works out. There is another abandoned house just as old beside it and I found the owners number today. I have been by these places for years and they look awesome.
 
Congrats on the killer finds Dave !
