Well the heat got the best of us, so we only spent about 6 hours searching today. But we did make it to the exact AC’s.
I unfortunately left my digital camera in my Jeep So didn’t get pics, but we plan to return to the spot tomorrow morning.
We don’t usually go back and search an area again, but with some new information we received today, we all agreed it warrants further searching.
Thanks to the property owners Of the surrounding property, (and my husband who is the best people person ever lol) they gave us directions to a very secret mushroom hunting spot in the area, with the promise we wouldn’t tell anyone about it, or use it to hunt for mushrooms. Turns out it was roughy 60 feet from the AC’s.
The ground there is soft, easy digging.
It would not be a spot a random person would just happen across, but if you knew the spot, it’s not SUPER hard to get to. The spot is heavily wooded, and the thorn bushes and ticks were plentiful, but a few spots caught our eye and we dug a bit.
We didn’t find anything of interest, but it was something we were told when we were leaving, that piqued our interest.
The man who agreed to let us park in his driveway and walk through a section of his property came out to meet us when we arrived back to our car.
He asked how the search went and we told him we didn’t find anything. He then proceeds to tell us that he had forgotten all about it, but there is “an old well somewhere back there,” and it might be worth checking out.
I was exhausted but still managed to “eek” a little bit when he told us about the well. I sat down and whipped out my map and asked him if he could give us an exact location.
He said he had never seen the well, but had been told it was back there. He gave us a “general area” to look for the well. So tomorrow we are going to hunt for it. Its not much to go on, but we are going to try.
I will NOT forget the camera this time. I’m just not used to having any reason to snap pics, so I dont normally lug it with me lol.
I also found an interesting spot on google earth nearby that we plan on checking out tomorrow. Its probably nothing but looks very out of place. Here is a pic of it:
