Misty mountain morning hunt

[tanacat]

Didn't find anything real exciting YET... but thought I'd share these cool pics of foggy Kentucky morning. My buddy Dave and I went out yesterday to a spot that had an archaelogical dig over 5 yrs ago, where a brick kiln had been found. There was tape and fence and was very mysterious back then. Dave remembered where it was before they built the nearby 4 lane highway, curious what we might find. From these implements, definately some human action in the area, must've been house nearby. These things we did find (plus some pottery and harmonica pieces -not posted) motivates us to go back and try some more :)

Nice relics and great pictures tanacat thumbsup01 looks like a promising site for sure!!

[psychposse]

Horseshoes are always fun to find - for me anyway.

Thanks for sharing the pics :)

Hope that place pans out for you two. If you are digging relics there are probably some coins to be found also. Worth a trip back for sure. :yes:

I love the photos Tana. That place looks like a fun place to detect.

I've never hunted 'out in the middle of nowhere' like this... there's always been some sign of habitation, a shed or foundation, daffodils or something... I find it so amazing when people come out of the MIDDLE of the woods (like on a big group hunt) and they're holding a Barber or seated half lol

[Toadman]

Nice so far !! :peace: :peace: That place is huge , all the best on the return trip

[Ill Digger]

Yeah there's defiantly signs of life there :yes: With all the work thats represented there, good chance you'll find something.
Good luck on your return trip thumbsup01

Awesome looking spot Tana!! I would love to hunt a spot like that. I have a feeling you guys will get some good finds from there soon. thumbsup01 :clapping: :peace:

[Spiderwort]

The horse shoes will bring you good metal detecting luck for the rest of the year. Nice area.

[del]

really do your homework on that area as you might come across even an older site long gone with no evidence . from pictures theres a ton of area and it might take a while but the finds are there you just have to be patient Tana. looks like a great and very relaxing place to detect . great pictures by the way , thanks for showing them Tana. :beerbuddy:

[Carver]

Neat relic finds :cheering: :cheering: Looking mighty chilly in them pics :frozen: :frozen:

[jkress]

Out in the middle of nowhere... sounds awesome! thumbsup01

You definitely found some interesting items to make a repeat trip worth while.

Great pictures... I could definitely feel the dampness in the air and the solitude.

Let us know what you find when you revisit. :yes:

[marinedad]

looks like a good spot, but i guess to me any spot that is not frozen solid is a good spot.

[Judy]

Definitely tons of area to hunt!!! Great photos and where there's iron is a good possibility of some good treasures :)

[cliffy]

Thanks! Yeah I love this digger :smitten: The Lesche I won in a contest (thanks to Pulltabsteve) is great for slicing through dry or frozen ground, but I like the feel of this one best...
