Been a while

So I have been tardy as of late in my metal detecting pursuits. What can I say? Life is happening. At any rate, I scouted the Fort Shaw property and now have permission to detect it whenever I am ready. In the meantime, I am curious about detecting another's friends property that is out of town but along the Smith River. Need to do some research on the history of the area so I can get an idea of what my be out there.
