Lisa-

You know, I haven’t seen these guys again. I wonder if they will ever come back. Hopefully, if they do, it will be when my husband is home!!

What is the update on this?? Did you let them come back?? I would love to know more about the land I live on and it does sound like kin is the key around where you live. I was born and raised in the south, but not rural. Doesn’t matter though, it would be a big deal to get to know people.

i love to go metal detect old properties and getting permission is the hardest part. i think they were being extremely honest in their intentions, but certainly understand telling them only to come back when your husband is around. oh and there is a good chance they know of some story of their grandparents hiding huge stack s of money somewhere near there, so go out with that detector before they come back and get the good stuff first.

I too would welcome them back at a time when your hubby was around. Think about all the history you could learn and they could preserve- it would be worth it just to get a picture of the old homestead.

I am a ‘midwest’ country girl… I don’t think I would want the men looking around while I was home alone, but if my husband was home, no problem… I would just give them my hubbies cell number and have them call him to set up a time to come out. I LOVE history and would relish the opportunity to learn more about our ‘homestead’!

I agree with Jill, maybe they wont want to come back often, Im a pretty private person myself. But girl, youre in the south now! who youre kin to makes all the difference! I guess Im just used to that way of life. I guess its like that in all small towns. Whats bad is when youre kin to people in a small town that are so notorious you know you have to play dumb if someone inquires about it! ( true story here)
