ABOUT A WEEK AGO I WAS ABLE GO GAIN EXCESS TO A SITE ON AN OLD FARM IN THE OLD NATCHEZ DISTRICT IN SOUTHWEST MISSISSIPPI. I KNEW FROM MY CHILDHOOD DAYS THAT THERE WAS A HOUSE SITE THAT DATED BACK TO THE 1860'S. OF COURSE THE HOUSE IS LONG GONE, AND THE AREA OVERGROWN WITH ONLY A FEW BRICKS FROM THE CHIMNEY REMAINING. ANYWAY, I TOOK MY TRUSTY FRIEND, MY BOUNTY HUNTER IV METAL DETECTOR AND BEGAN SCANNING THE AREA AROUND THE OLD SITE. AFTER DIGGING UP A FEW OLD CANS AND SOME PLOW POINTS I TRIED A SPOT DOWN HILL FROM THE HOUSE SITE AND BEGAN TO GET MORE NOISE FROM MY DETECTOR. AFTER DIGGING SEVERAL HOLES, NOT ONLY DID I FIND MORE OLD CANS, BUT BEGAN TO GET PIECES OF GLASS MIXED IN. I STARTED TO DIG CAREFULLY AND SOON REALIZED I HAD FOUND THE OLD GARBAGE DUMP. TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT, BEFORE THE END OF THE DAY I HAD RECOVERED 8 OLD BOTTLES---I MEAN VERY OLD BOTTLES DATING BACK TO THE 1860'S AND BEFORE. NO GOLD THIS TIME, BUT THERE IS GOLD IN THEM OLD BOTTLES. HAVEN'T IDENTIFIED THEM YET, BUT WORKING ON IT AND WILL KEEP YOU POSTED. HAPPY TREASURE HUNTING.
