So, sitting at work today, and one of the sound guys is talking with me....he starts telling me of the old house he lives in in a nearby town....When I asked how old, he tells me the late 1800's...well, you know what was going on in my mind! Then he proceeds to tell me that it sits on just over an acre of land, and that the original owner is buried there....So I am like, cool, when can I come over to detect....before he gives me an answer, he mentions that his boss lives behind him with the roughly the same age house, and amount of land....Man, I start thinking I hit the motherload.....by the end of the conversation, he tells me his boss owns roughly 14 or 15 Victorian houses in this small town, and I get full reign on all of them! Now all I have to do is find the time to start! Looks like Xmas came to me early this year! Will keep everyone posted....

Nice! Can't wait to see what you find at all those places. You should be busy detecting until 2020.
