The house itself, was converted from a farm shack to a small house by my great grandfather. Estimates on the original structure are from the 20's, and the build of the house was in 1948. There have been a few additions after that point, and a good portion of the land has been sold off.
The land I ended up buying with the house was 1.18 acres, not too bad for 20 minutes to downtown Dallas.
My grandparents bought the house from my great grandparents, and my mother bought out her sibling's share and it was her house until June of this year, when I bought it from her.
As I'm just starting out in metal detecting, A fairly low end unit will suffice. My wife just ordered me a Bounty Hunter Tracker IV and the additional 4 inch coil.
I'll be keeping track here of the stuff I find in the year here, in the neighbors yard that used to be the same property (if they will allow me to do so), in the area parks, and wherever else I manage to make it off to.
