Barn Razing: cleaning up the past

Thanks for the update hope you have not found any nails in the wrong places....

I have picked up enough nails and various other metal pieces to fill two 55 gallon barrels. As my luck would have it I also picked up a few nails (4) with the tires but they were easy enough to plug so its not a big deal. just had to make sure and keep the hole to the top as I patched them so I would not loose any fluid.:thumbsup:

Probably a little late now, but an old trick is to find an old speaker magnet...a big one like they use in PA systems (can probably find one at a music equipment store), drop it in a bucket and viola...instant nail picker upper.
My .02 for the day :thumbsup:

I bought a HF 24" roofing nail magnet on wheels and it worked great.
The magnet in a bucket is a great idea I would have never thought of that.:thumbsup:

I just kept pulling up rocks. I finally had pulled up enough and started bringing in top soil to finish the grade as good as possible. This area is larger than it looks. I pulled landscape rake through here and harvested more than 25 FEL loads of smaller rocks.
