I found a place that used to be a homestead

I was surprised to find the old the well. This past fall when I was hunting (deer) I came across a large hole that is an old cellar hole in the side of the hill. I took a couple of steps not watching and came upon a hand dug well about 40 inches across and god knows how deep, but it was deep. There was a hole left at the top large enough to fall through and the rest was stoned up. I can't wait to get back there this summer with the detector. I know the landowner and told them about the open well and they never knew it was there.

    Cool!!
    I expect a good year coming up for you with the new machine and three or four cool sites you've described.

    Ditto, though finding one that is legal to hunt and hasn't already been pounded by other detectorists is the challenge.

    99% chance it hasn't been hit, any of them. I'm thinking of 4 different sites that are deep in the woods and I doubt very much if any of them were searched other than me one afternoon and not thoroughly by any stretch of the imagineation.
