Hello Hoosiers!

[bottlebum]

I just wanted to say hey. I grew up in Merrilville and Lowell Indiana, moved to Florida in 1985 and because construction down here is in a major slump, i'm moving to Huntingburg Ind.(I have family there)
I was wondering if there was anyone on this sight that might live close to my destination? Would like to find a detecting buddy.
Well, thanks for reading my post and happy hunting!

I believe, about 1 hours drive south east of Evansville or just south of Jasper.
I've got an uncle that lived in Kokomo. He lives in evansville now.

Grew up in New Goshen live in Clinton now.

[bottlebum]

Good to meet you Bushlite.
Checked out Clinton with the ole Google Earth. Looks like you are quite aways from Huntingburg.

Oh I'll bet that construction is booming in Huntingberg, Indiana. Are they remodeling the only gas stations bathroom? You should have been hitting those Florida beaches for Spanish gold my friend.

No, the bathroom that you are referring to, is still in pretty good shape.
As far as the gold goes........."I'll be Back"

Putnam County Indiana here. I have family in Ripley County down in southern Indiana

[Indyrocks]

Indianapolis here, but I grew up in Dubois County.
Did you find a job in Huntingburg doing construction or are you working for Farbest?

Right now i'm working for Huntingburg Machine Works and i'm lucky if I get to work more than one day a week. I'm ready to start looking for another job. That or go back to Florida. It's pretty bad when you start thinking about selling the detector, just to get by.

Why dont you move back up around the lake?

I'm in Mich City and constructions going good here.

Just got a new casino in new buffalo mich and the other casino is building a huge hotel. Alot going on.

No offense, but i lived in FLA and couldnt make squat there for pay and do much better here in NW Indiana

Come on back to Merrillville

True Metal,
You must have been reading my mind. You are right about Florida and i've been considering doing just what you've suggested. I still have friends and family up that way. If I do, i'll try to get in touch. Maybe we can do some detecting some time?

[Goio]

In Hammond here. BottleBum, let me know when your back to Merrillville maybe we can all get together and scout some places.

[True_Metal]

If ya get back up this way get ahold of me, i'll be around

Just moved back here from NY last year myself where i was getting killed by taxes and the high cost of living there.

Northwest Indiana isnt the greatest place, but it's blue collar friendly and home.

Take er easy.

[True_Metal]

Sound good Gojo.

Maybe hit the beaches around here, they 've been in use for hundreds of years, gotta be something good out there to find both old and new.

[bottlebum]

Sounds great. I have a friend in Lowell that I like to detect with to. In fact, he's a forumite, Quick Silver (apple tree)

Heck, we'd have enough people to start a club!

[Goio]

Hey True_Metal,

Sounds good Goio. Maybe a spring hunt?

[tmanfromtexas]

Hey can a displaced Texan join you Hoosiers? I am stuck up here working and waiting for the dang thaw to occur so I can take the mighty Cortez out and sleigh the silver. lol. Bottlebum on a side note, if you are a fitter or a boilermaker or really any other craft BP in Whiting is doing a HUGE expansion and are gonna need good folks. Just a heads up. TMAN...

[True_Metal]

Sure TMan where abouts you working round here?

I come from a Texan myself, on my mom's side. Used to spend a month in Amarillo, and Lake"o"the Pines every year before my Granny and Grand dad past on.

Be glad to hunt with ya!



Sounds good Gojo and Bottlebum.

I'll have the ole sovereign fired up and ready.
