    That looks like an awesome place to hunt! Congrats on the find!
    We all know there's no such thing as a "hunted out" location.  Let's stop using that phrase to describe a park out of which you just dug a pile of coins!  Obviously that particular place wasn't "hunted out", right?

    Re: found my goast town

    I'm a comin', Gypsy!! It should take me about 14 hours to get there!! Four and a half minutes to find the cellarholes.

    They don't call me "The Queen of Cellarholes" for nothin'!!

    Good luck, BCS. Talk to some hunters that live in the area. I bet one of them could lead you right to it.
