Went out looking for some old farmstead permissions this morning. I got permission for what I thought was going to be a good one last night and there wasn't hardly a signal in the ground so I moved on.
I went driving around east of Ryder, ND and came across one that looked promising. Had to have been early 1900's. The grass was long but is still lying down from being flattened by the snow.
At first I was starting to worry this place had been detected as well until I popped out a 1960 Canadian quarter. That brought a little hope back and than I got another high tone within a foot....a 1964-D Washington. Then within the same small area I popped a later wheat and than another high tone.....another 1964-D Washington! One more later wheat capped off what I'm sure was a spill and that is all the place had for me. It was my second outing for the year and I'm already at 4 silvers....I'll take it! Ground is still frozen in some places, half frozen in others and thawed in others so it won't be too long before I can quit worrying about bending my shovel.
On a side note, there was a neat OLD organ in the house that I got a picture of. Nice to see no one has stolen it yet.
