I won't let a newbie out do me!! Now this is some trash!!

[John 'n' W.Va]

I went to a town that seems to incorporate old foundations with newer buildings. The houses were close together. When they tear down a building, the neighbor cleans the lot up and makes it part of his yard. There still are big stone foundations in the yard, but it is mowed and sometimes has flowers around it. It is evident all over this town. Most of the foundations are from the 1800's. Most of the neighborhoods are older and trashy. The place I went to today has a foundation next to a playground. It has probably been MD many times, but with all the trash they couldn't have got it all. It is a mix of dirt, building debris and park trash. It has got to be one of the hardest MDing scenarios. Oh yea, throw in some coal.

My skills made me ready for the challenge. I angled the sniper into the base of the walls. I checked all cracks and I dug a lot of trash.

There were some badly corroded clock pieces AND A TOOTSIE TRUCK. A famous vintage WV marble. Nothing much worth keeping. All coins are newer then the 60's.

As I drive a round I am scoping out everything. Why did the people that live in that house not have a door on their basement. The walls of the basement where built at different times. I wonder if it has dirt floors? There is a newer home built on the wall to the right.
