I am new here and noticed all the posts in the Ohio section are very old.
We are forming a new Prospectors club in Ohio and I thought this might be a good place to post it. There a several of us that metal detect. Most of us are gold prospectors though. Several rockhounds too.
If any of this sounds interesting to you, come on over and check us out.
The club is just getting off the ground, but we have a lot of interest so far!
Thanks for taking time to look,
Ken

Not near PA.
It is in Ross Co. about 5 miles north of Bainbridge Ohio.
We are also trying to get some property leased in Clermont Co. (near Cincy).

A visitor must have a member present while on the property, but a paid member has full access 24-7 upto 7 days straight. If you stay 7 days, you must stay away for 7. We don't enforce this much, but it is in place for anyone that might just decide to live there.
