Hello! I'm a local history buff and a metal detecting hobbyist from Northeast Philly. As you may or may not know, the area, including the immediate burbs, is rich in history and contains numerous houses dating from the early 1900s and before (Torresdale, Tacony, Byberry, Somerton, etc.) I'm hoping to find homeowners who will give me their permission to search their property/yards to see what I can find. I don't expect to get rich, I just enjoy the thrill of digging up old stuff and thinking about the story of just how it got there! I promise to take the utmost care in leaving your property about how I found it and will take all junk finds (basically 99% of all finds -- you'd be surpised how bottle caps, pull tabs, nails, etc. are everywhere) with me. Please contact me at filmiracle [at] yahoo [dot] com or send me a PM if you're interested or would like some more info! THANKS!
