Been working on locating a spot with some Civil War activity for a bit of time. Upon,locating it, found out who owned it and began looking for a connecton to help get my foot in the door. It was on farm land and pasture land. Finally found a good connection and just so happened it was a neighbor of mine. But, (and I am glad it was my neighbor that told me the story) after my neighbor told me this story, I didnt pursue it any farther.
Around 10 years back, the owners had let a couple guys go in and hunt this area. The idiots left gates open after they left. Several horses got out and were up on a highway, a car hit them, two people were killed, the horses were killed and all sorts of legal actions were taken against the land owners.
Nothing happened to the two detectorist. I would have been speachless if I had talked to the owners. Oh, I would have appologized for the two idiots and told them how I felt about people like that. But.... now we have more fuel for the fire to ban detecting.
