 ~The Cane Field Bandits~
Hi Louisiana Folks
I have only been in the hobby for a little while. I live in Baton Rouge. I drive a Taxi Cab so I know the city pretty good. It occured to me today as I passed the Capital Lakes by the govenors mansion that they have drained most of the water out of the lakes. They are in the process of fixing erotion problems. I hunted where the water was very low along the banks for just a little while....I'll admit there is ALOT of trash, cans ect. but didnt have a very long time to hunt. Any one interested in hunting there let me know.......I would love a little help before they get done and the lakes fill back up. I would bet there are some nice things to be found in there! Hope to hear, Shane

Re: Hi Louisiana Folks
How do you do shane . I grew up fairly close to that area(circa 1950's 60's). Yes I'm an old guy. I don't ever recall that being known for swimming or wading around in that mucky old lake so I would think that there wouldn't be any significant finds around there. But you never know. Do you know the legalities of detecting there? I may be able to hook with you there. Could possibily be something worthwhile along the bank. Ron

Re: Hi Louisiana Folks
Hey Shane I attemtpted to send you a private message did you get? Anyway wanted to see if you wanted to get together and hunt some. I just got a lead on plot of land just under 300 acres. They just cleared it to build a huge subdivision. The dirt is freshly turned out. It has been a cane field for as long as I can remember but I noticed some signs of an old home, a barn, and a couple of silos. I just found out who the owner is and plan on calling him Monday. Don't know what we might find but it sure can't hurt to go check it out.
Ace 250 and a lot of persistence

Hi chemo warrior,
I would love to check it out with you. Sounds like a great spot. Also I have been checking out a pretty large area myself. I could use some" help" there as well. Sorry it took me so long to respond but I just signed back into this "louisiana" section tonight, Thanksgiving. Shane 225-978-6619 is my cell.
