It's been quite a while since I've been out. Sometimes life just gets in the way.
I've had my eye on a 1908 property that is one of the last pieces left in the path of a new freeway coming. Last week the moving van was there but with snow and freezing weather I just couldn't get to it. Yesterday the snow was gone and it was sunny, the wind was blowing hard and it was a bit chilly but I gathered my gear and hot footed it over to the site. As soon as I set foot in the yard I could see I was too late. Someone was before me.
I decided to go over it anyway, there were so many nails and little pieces of aluminum siding everywhere. Discrimination was not going to cut it here. I put the 705 in AM and went very slow, listening for those high tones in the chaos.
Soon I popped out a '29s Merc, then a '24s wheat and a '30d wheat. Sure wonder what was there before i got to it.
