Curly Maple Bandit Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Hey all, been a member for a bit, but just lurked and read for the most part. the knowledge here has been a fantastic help! Just moved from California to SE Oklahoma. Hoping to run across a few others that enjoy the hobby within drivable hunting distances. seems like all the clubs i can find are 2+ hrs away! updated to the Equinox 800 about a year and a half ago, but haven't had the time recently (finding a place and then the move) to do much with it. things have settled now and I'm just starting to explore the 20 acres i live on now. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is bound to be some history hiding on 20 acres. thats kinda what i thought! google earth shows another house that burned about 10 years back that is now just part of the side yard on the north side. theres also a standing small older dwelling on the southern edge of the property as well. so far I've uncovered 8 matchbox/ hotwheels from the 80s on my first go here. waiting on things to dry out a bit now.

Curly Maple Bandit Posted May 5, 2022 Author Share Posted May 5, 2022 have spoken with the old owner, there is supposed to be an old swimmin hole close by as well. still standing water out back, crawdads moving through too. lots of volcanos out there. will wander over to the higher side of the property in the morning and see what i can come up with.

F350Platinum Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Try http://historicaerials.com. You can look at topographic maps, old aerial photos and more for free. That site can show you a lot of unknown building sites. They will appear as square dots on the older maps. Welcome to the forum! HTH, HH 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCR Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 350 is correct. The old aerial photos a great but often the old Topo maps will have the best information. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
