Well, I will pre-cursor this post to mention the last time I posted about a site I hadn't detected at yet it turned out to be a bust. :veryangry: It is with great reservation that I post about this new opportunity, but I'm day before X-mas giddy right now and I need to pound out a few lines to let a bit of it out!
So last week I get a call from one of our Church members, she was raking leaves and her glasses fell off she believes in one of the piles of leaves. She was wondering if I could try and find them for her. I head over to her house and no one is there. The only pile of leaves is in a mulch pile and it has completely mulched. I'm hoping they weren't in there. I notice she lives in an older house, and I pass up some sweet sounding signals as I search a few piles of leaves I could find.
My wife calls me on the cell phone, and and turns out the women was at the Parsonage helping the Pastor rake up the yard. That was where she had lost her glasses. At this point it's after 5PM and I'm losing daylight fast. I get over there and start working the leaf piles. I find a 2005 nickel in the middle of one, but no luck on the glasses. I go to the end of the church parking lot into the woods to check the leaf dump, a few close but no cigars there as well. I talk to the women and tell her I'm out of light and that I'll be back the next day after work to check some more. I get called at work the next day to find out the glasses had been found next door in the church drive.
Fast forward to today. I'm still thinking about her house, and regretting that I wasn't able to find her glasses for her as it would have been a great segway into asking permission to hunt her property. I think to myself, hey, it's still relatively close to my trying to help her, why not give it a shot!
I manage to get a hold of her this afternoon, I had a great conversation with her and at the end I had permission to hunt her property.
It turns out the house was built in 1728, and it originally was the parsonage to a church that is directly across the street from it. That church used to be the town hall. Also directly across the street is the town green. It's pretty cool, you can tell that the garage is a converted carriage shed. On the front you can see where they boarded up the carriage entrance. There's a decent sized front lawn that goes up to the road. Probably at least 50 feet. A lot of these older homes are so close the road that detecting the front yard is a short task. Not this place.
She also mention that when her kids were young, she had bought an antique ring that had an emerald on it. Believe it or not, she lost it while raking her leaves. She's going to tell me where she lost it and I'm going to give finding it a try.
So all and all, a pretty productive phone call, and coincidentally I had taken a vacation day tomorrow to do the leaves in my yard. Guess what may take a back seat on the priority list tomorrow?
Oh, I nearly forgot, she also offered her mothers house to detect which was built around 1850.
So, I'm pretty excited about the day ahead of me tomorrow. It's supposed to be sunny, around 49 degrees, so if I keep moving I should be all set.
I'll keep you posted,
Jai
