A wonderfully written story!!!
With the winter doldrums sitting over most of the states, tagging along with you as you spent your day is greatley appreciated.
Perhaps you could ask the lady of the house to mention to some of her neighbors about your hobby?? You just might get connected with a circle of contacts and property owners without putting forth much effort,( or silver dollars).
In this part of the country hunting (deer and elk) lands are often times privately owned but access to these lands are often times granted by offering to help on the land during a planting or harvest period.... a days labor can often times lead to a lifetimes worth of permission.

Always enjoy the pictures. I wish you luck on getting to MD the other homes. Something really good is going to be dug up at one of those houses.
When I came through Brunswick last week, it was 32 F. I always stop there for gas and breakfast when I am heading north from Fl. When I am there visiting family there we eat at Captain Joe's.
Yes that is a date palm. There are also palmetto and pinto (jelly palms) there. They are more cold hardy than the date palm. I like the taste of the fruit on the jelly palm and it does make good jelly. I eat the fruits while working in the yard.

Actually, I did just that. Her sister (I think it was) lives in the big three-story brick house next door. (The one I mentioned hunting back in the mid-90s, when somebody else owned it. It was very productive then and might be worth another visit.)

We've certainly had on-again, off-again cold snaps. But the near springlike conditions have certainly been nice. Jelly palms, eh? Being a longtime resident here and a Floridian by birth, I must shamefully admit I hadn't heard of a jelly palm. I've seen some of the palms or palmettos have small blackish, berrylike fruit- what are those?
BTW, after I sent this story to Mrs. Hagey via email, she told me that the house had been used by the USO during the war. That could go a long way towards explaining the WW2-era coins and last year's paratrooper badge, as well.
