This is another of my waiting to be detected sites. It's on the "places to do" list. Here's a brief history.

Homestead settled about 1860 in original "dugout" shown, then behind the barn was a 2 story house that burned down many many years ago. The small building with the "steeple" thing was a one room school, town hall meeting place and a couple of other things at the same time. Place is sitting on about 800 acres.

So where would you start to hunt?

First off to do it right if I was YOU..I would bring me down there to help...lol, but I'd hit the school and meeting house where everone gathered... I love those old schools.. but also those rock formations look good to,,, any place kids played and lost their milk money,, I can imagine those kids playing on those rocks sliding down them...I've got a couple of late 1800 schools here to check out, way out in the sagebrush in the mountains, one was bought by some friends who are making it into a summer home

Well, since we can't come down there and help, the way I would work the area, is work the drive or entering path thoroghly while going in, then around the first or original dwelling, increasing the search area like in a circle-more or less, going around each structure, and when you hit a hot spot work it out, just keep getting bigger really working it out==SHUCKS++ that big a place could take years to get all detected out- what you better do is get a bunch of us down there to assist Detecting

Darn tempting, One of the things that amazes me about the west is how things stay around for such a long time. I was digging in a mound of dirt that a famous man named Alfred Romer dug up a rare dinosaur fossil from and found a Lucky Strike package lined with tin foil. Not aluminum foil. I could have straitened it out and put cigarettes in it. and a Philadelphia newspaper from 1922 which could still be read. Romer was digging around there about 1922.

Whenever i have the chance to search such a prime site,i begin by sectioning off areas to hunt into squares and rectangles using locating flags (The kind they use to mark underground telephone cables)placed at each corner.Then i start to hunt in each section so as to cover every possible inch of such a promising location.GOOD LUCK

Me, it would be a toss up between the dugout and the school/townhall. The dugout is older, and was probably used for storage even after the family moved out of it. The school/townhall had more people going in and out of it so it would have more coin potential....I'd probably do the dugout first and hope the rest of you didn't find everything at the school/towhall before I got over there.

Wow You have a great place to check out, I try to go to the buildings and imagine where people had church picnics or where they drove in with horse and buggy's and got out of them, near the doorways and walks leading to the main entrance, was there nice flat places to hold fairs or gatherings on nice days? i Imagine me being there in the time period and where would i go and sit or play, , I have done this with old foundations in the back woods and have had allot of great luck Good luck and if ya need assistance I'm rite here Lol Bow

I must admit, it will be an interesting site. Trouble is, I have so many sites now, that I'll probably never live long enough to get to them all LOL Detecting

I thought about doing a little at each site, but that won't work because once I start a site, I don't like to leave there until finished.

I think I need some volunteers to help. LOL

BUT>>the offer still stands.. anyone of you ever get this way and ya got a lil bit of swinging time, then give me a jingle and we'll go "dig in the dirt" or sand, or whatever this ground is called here. LOL
