Fort Smith here. Been lurking mostly for the past year. I just got an Ace 250 and have only hunted a couple of places here in the Ft. Smith area with it. Riverfront Park can be hunted and it's across from Miss Laura's old brothel. It's good for a few rings and coins from time to time as it's usually packed around the 4th of July.

Creekmoore Park is trashy, but good for a few clad coins. I picked a nice 14k ring up from an old school playground on the Southside of town too about a year ago.

If anyone is in the Fort Smith area and wants to hook up to search a site I'm game... once the frozen tundra temps move back to the North! ;-)

My goal is to make enough with the 250 so that I can upgrade to an AT pro in the future. I'd like to have that VDI number to help me avoid digging bottle caps/nails, etc. and the ability to submerge it would be really handy should I head to the beaches of Florida for spring breaks and in the local lakes.


Best regards!

Hey Rooster I use an Ace 250 too.....not a bad machine....but I think the AT Pro is a better machine....maybe one day I will get me one too.....Are all the parks in Ft Smith open to detecting or just some??.....I have a friend of mine that live on 35th Street and I get up that way from time to time......might have to holler at you next time I am up there.....see ya later......

City parks are open to hunting, so long as one fills the holes back in properly. I was really suprised about the Riverfront park. It's right between the national historic site (judge parkers court house area) and Miss Laura's! It's been good for modern coinage and a few rings.

I hit the school yards on the weekends or in the summertime.

I'm at the point now, where I want to start asking permission to hunt private property. Never done it and I just know there's old silver coins waiting to be found on many of the private homes and sites around here.

Happy Hunting! -Rooster

I hear ya. I've had all the snow and cold I can stand. I'm itching to get out and dig.

If the winters keep this up, I may have to move to Florida ;-)

I moved here from the Dallas area 4 years ago. Talked to my friend there and he can not believe the snow he got. He spent Friday on a front end loader. Sure glad I moved.
