Y’all can even ride up together.
You betcha! Since I got a good detector from cousin Scott (@Snattlerake ) I've hardly had a chance to play with it!

There certainly is.Lots of genealogy communities online too and they track and follow obscure gravesites too. You might be able to dig some stuff up online if you search carefully
That’s honestly pretty heartbreaking. Hopefully no one ever vandalizes the grave markers, no matter how basic they areThere certainly is.
https://genealogytrails.com/oka/abandoned_neglected_cemeteries.htmWe have an abandoned graveyard about 2 miles from one of the farms. I've wandered through there among the trees and brush. appears to be a family site.
I've also found a family graveyard on Kaw Lake while hunting. The stones show several children that died at birth and a couple years later, the mom died.
A lot of the cemataries in poor areas did just that. They used a rock to mark a grave with the location kept by a church or in the family records. Wife's best friend growing up had her dad die in Eastern Ok.Burn it off and see if there is anything at ground level. Keep in mind what may appear to just be a rock may be a grave marker. I know of a few old graveyards that are in very remote locations like that.
Courthouse has all those records, and they are glad to help research that. It's actually interesting going through those archived records written down over the years.I own the land, and I bought it from my aunt and uncle. I would have to do some research to find out who they bought it from.
My dad has done some amazing research into our family history. It’s amazing how many records there are in newspapers and like you said at the courthouses.Courthouse has all those records, and they are glad to help research that.

Thats an interesting question. When my mom passed, we had the funeral director tell us that there is a way to spread ones ashes across the ground on family land. If done according to the law and one uses the special spreader that is rented out and expensive, advolorem taxes are waived on that area forever.Does having a grave/cemetary put restrictions on what you can do with your land? What if it is Indian country?
I have a good MD too.There’s not a neighbor a mile or maybe two.
I don’t even hunt around my house, so I’m not really worried about any restrictions especially where this is located.
If you’ve got a good metal detector, we need to snoop around in there.
