The owner of the property I am allowed to search has offered me the option to dig if I want.
Well, of course I want to dig!
There's two giant piles of dirt (around 50 yards) from when he excavated for his house and garage up on the hill. I plan on going through those piles first, because that's gotta be paydirt right? They dug down like 8ft and put all the dirt in a pile. Hasn't been touched since.
Next three areas I can dig would be near the base of a swamp where I've found abalone / oyster shells. There's a pine forest that was planted about 30 years ago, use to be farm field before. And finally a section of woods that has a mound. Obviously the mound is off limits, I won't go sink a shovel within 100 yards of that.
Where you would y'all start first? How would you tackle so much area? I don't want to get burnt out on digging and sifting before I find anything because I was digging in lame areas.
