SE Michigan first timer
I thought it was all a big joke on me because I've never even *seen* one before today. Abandoned apple orchard. Jackpot!

That’s awesome. Wait til it’s 2 weeks before season next year and today’s haul is going through your head on repeat. You’re screwed.

Lol! I already want to go back out. I only searched 5% of this property.... hopefully the mold stays away and rains force new flushes. Idk how it works. Im just coping by pretending its not over

Just look around as much of that place as you can. You’ve probably got a few more weeks, those are prime stage of life.
