a future hunt

[beatup 66]

In about six to eight weeks i am going to have the chance to detect the footprint of a 100 year old barn,it used to be part of the headquarters of the sheridan heights ranch all the houses have been torn down the corrals and calving sheds are long gone, now that the DEQ owns the land they sold the barn and it is going to be moved to a new location . The DEQ gave my the ok to come on down and see what i can find.the barn has to be moved by june but they need to move it through our fields before the ground thaws so i hope they will move it by the end of march.

They had big barn dances in the 1910's 20's&30's in the top floor of the barn and who knows what else, but since i have huunted all the other old buildings that were there this upcoming hunt should prove interesting. Here are some photos of the barn, they are just now starting to get the barn ready to be lifted and readied for the wheeled carriers i can't wait to see whats under the floor .

JPG]At last i got to detect the old barn footprint , the old concrete floor did not have any rebar or wire in it so i could hunt the cracks in the floor and the space under the tack room were it was a wooden floor and dirt underneth, now aside from a pocket full of horse shue nails and some old buckles i did find 2 silver dimes, 1943 the oldest date,3 pennies dated from the 1930,s to the1950,s,2 nickles from the 1950,s a bicentenial quarter and a 1 frank coin from belgium dated 1943 it is the black one and it is most likely made of zink and is very light in wieght.
