Metal detector fun
2014 is the year I finally
talked Anna into a metal detector.
On the list of things I want
to find is an old chain we lost in the weeds and a small bolt for the
rear prop shaft on the ATV.
We got the Bounty Hunter TK4, and it seems to be good at
weeding out the junk if you know how to listen for the right kind of
tone. Picking better target rich terrain might be another skill we need
to learn, but I can already tell it's the kind of activity that's more
fun with two people. Anna likes to do the digging while I do the
scanning.

About us: Anna Hess and Mark Hamilton spent over a decade living self-sufficiently in the mountains of Virginia before moving north to start over from scratch in the foothills of Ohio. They've experimented with permaculture, no-till gardening, trailersteading, home-based microbusinesses and much more, writing about their adventures in both blogs and books.

My guess would be that you'll find plenty (especially around the location of the old house and the barn) But probably not what you're looking for!
Were there any civil war actions around there? That could yield interesting finds.
