I have a real special treat of a permission Im going to this Sunday!

I finally found some information on it and I just couldnt wait to share it with you guys!

Private land which has the ruins of an old 1800s house on it, what makes this out of the ordinary is that it the original owner who now has the near by road named after her was unfortunately murdered in 1884!

Heres an excerpt from the newspaper South Australian weekly chronicle, Saturday June 21st 1884

Heres an excerpt from the Sydney evening news, Saturday August 9th 1884 showing one Mr. John Woodhead acquitted of the murder!

As far as I can tell at this point, no one was ever charged for the murder of Margaret Peggy Buxton! WOW! What an absolute honour and privilege to be able to detect such a site!

Sunday cant come quick enough!

Best believe if my detector starts doing some bizarre stuff I am out of there as fast as my legs can carry me! Sheesh! :p
