Have explored many old homesites in my general area and had some successes though limited. Would be interested in helping dig a town dump. Also, have permissions to explore four mid 1800 abandoned homes in Salisbury but have been unable to find any privies, so perhaps someone with more experience could assist in finding and digging. I welcome new opportunities.

Been detecting off and on since 1970's and have used many brands and types of detectors. Have been out of the hobby for several years and am just getting back into it. Retired so I have time to do it now but finding places are not as easy as always and would like someone who can help research and obtain permissions to hunt and who is serious about the hobby and really likes to hunt.
