I just got permission to search a 1880's home site. The yard is half under snow and the other half is a little muddy for hunting now but I'm kind of pumped about it. The owner has an over-fed 140 pound pit bull who has littered what is not snowed in with 'land mines". I tried dodging the turds for about 15 minutes and got tons of signals in that time. She said that half of the house used to be a store in the old days so there's no telling what's in that ground. I imagine they used the back yard for a dump. Wish me luck!
