Wow---That's quite a family history John, VERY interesting.----If you should ever get out here to eastern Oregon look me up.----We have some beautiful country out here also & still have a few half way decent places to hunt.

hi del!
i'm a "yankee" my relatives figured prominently in settling
new england! ancestors were on the 'mayflower" (in the cargo hold
swillin' the beer and rum ration!) fought at 'bunker hill" and other engagements.
my brother and me are 32,and 33 rd direct descendants of 'william the conqueror" our family fought at the "battle of hastings" in 1066.
i just go after coins and jewelry. usually just hunt parks and schools, along with
sidewalk easements.i try to watch a ton of you tube to stay inspired until spring.
i am constantly trying to get permissions to hunt the old farm fields.it's very hard as most people are afraid to let others on their property because of liability concerns. i have lived here all my life.new england is really very beautiful, and colorful, with four distinct seasons.if you want to live here, bring plenty of money!
it's expensive, and real estate is through the roof expensive compared with other parts of the country. cost of living is about the same as california.
(h.h.!)
