These metal detecting spots are easy to tell, because there is still lots of trash. Most of the good signals have been dug out. Once in a while there are just no sounds. Almost like nobody ever inhabited the old homestead. It always makes me wonder how these places came about? Did they die shortly after building the cabin or cellar hole? There's got to be some treasure here somewhere. History is all around us. Let's dig!
