There’s this cat right up the road from me has this site on his property. For something like $150 he’ll bring you a big scoop of dirt with his front end loader and dump in in front of you for your family and friends to go a-digfin’ thru. Big damn site. Lots of good stuff being found. Im sure lots of good stuff being missed and broken too. Oh well, none of my bidness what he does with his property. I really do not care.
I knew a guy in Uvalde that would go to ranchers and farmers, land owners and look at their property for Indian camps. He was pretty good at finding a good camp too.
Once he established there was one worth digging, he would offer the land owner 1/2 of the take. (He would take the day's finds and they would flip a coin for first pick. then take turns choosing until the points were gone.
He used a backhoe and commercial screen. That screen had several layers. He didn't miss much.
Kinda always rubbed me the wrong way though, to know he was doing that.
Interesting stuff. Don't know how I feel about that but it's none of my business what people do with their property. I read a story a while back about a guy that went on a pay dig and found something superb. Can't remember exactly, maybe an Andice or a big Friday knife. Anyway, the landowner requested that everyone report their funds so that he could photo and catalog for his records. Well this one guy went and showed it to him but he wouldn't give it back. They ended up going to court over the mess. I'll see if I can find the story.
