Yes Ken I am in the suburbs of philly ( detecting in Philly is illegal unless on private property) I too dug a kg2 dated 1750, the mansion was completed in 1880 but the site was colonial prior to that.Originally Posted by Ken C

Many have tried the archeologists have a hold on things in the city and a general lack of understanding about the hobby has allowed them to convince the city detecting affects their ability to study potential sites. I have no issues outside of the city most of the suburbs and surronding areas have been more then generous.
can never get too much love. very nice. congrats!
