We're new to the hobby of course, and eager for Spring now that the ground is covered with snow. But we've been doing a lot of research and knocking on some doors, and stopped in at the City Hall today to inquire about a track of land along the river that's vacant, and found it belongs to the city. I have a map that shows this area as part of the original town, but it's vacant and gated now. So with that one, we now have a bunch of permissions to get started on when the snow melts. We hit another neighborhood today of homes built in the 20's and 30's, and got info and permission to hunt. Is that what others do? It seems to be working and with these permissions I'll be busy for a while. Curious if the others here use the Winter months to set up work for the Spring? Super excited about a couple of these permission we have, as yet we haven't found any silver, but did score our first Indian last week. Thanks, Dave
