    Drive By Hunt

    I was driving by this house on the weekend and saw major foundation work going on so I stopped and asked permission to metal detect. The owner told me that there is a lot of fill dirt up by the house but go ahead and detect. He told me to send him pictures of what I find and gave me his info then got into his truck and took off. Here is the picture of the house and the pictures I sent him.
