And after a nerve racking conversation with the land owner in which he said he only lets one guy hunt he decided to make it two guys 
This site was a small town with 50 houses, post office,2 stores,2 hotels and a blacksmith shop when it was burned to the ground in 1863 because the Jay-hawkers used it as a recruiting site and hangout.Was able to get over there for almost an hour tonight before dark and found several relics that give me high hopes for a longer hunt tomorrow.
A lot of it is waist high prairie grass and can not be hunted very well but quite a bit of brush timber that I can poke around in for a good long while as I got permission to hunt over 150 acres surrounding the site.
Also was a mill on the creek from 1840s to 1863.
I am new to relic hunting but just put the E-Trac in all metal Ferrous 2 tones man. sens. at 28 and dug every high tone and it works like a charm as I found the 2 bullets and the buttons in a solid carpet of cut nails.I will be there for several hours tomorrow if all goes well and see what I can dig,Ray.
