I get out whenever I can, and I also spend time doing research. Finding newer, less-worked sites is also fun to do.
You're welcome to e-mail me your name, address, phone and e-mail for contact and I will gladly get in touch with you. Maybe you can share with me the type of detecting you like to do, how long you've been at it, and what make/model detector(s) you use.
I'm with you regarding the very wet weather we've suffered through so far this year. I don't like to hunt in the rain, or wade through the soggy, muddy park lawns, but things are improving.
If you're interested in a monthly meeting for metal detecting hobbyists, I can add you to that contact list as well. We host a *FREE TO THE PUBLIC* get-together on the 2nd Saturday of each month for an educational program and to share some of the results we've enjoyed each month. Then, if the weather if favorable, we can all go detecting at a site after the meeting.
We are also working on a couple of sites for a group outing, one this summer and another one later. This might take place in June, the first trek, to Central Oregon.
Anyway, here is an opportunity to meet a group of people who have an avid interest in the metal detecting hobby, enjoy a monthly meeting and a day's detecting outing, and on top of that I will gladly meet up with you for some detecting.
You can shoot me an e-mail to: monte@ahrps.org
Happy Hunting,
Monte
