Hello wsswesty, sounds your like your hunting is going better than mine, I also have a camp at greenbrier county that I took the detector to but did not get to detect much last time I was there, how long you been detecting and stuff, I just started

I had a Whites about 5 years ago and hunted quite a bit. I sold it because I wasn't real happy with. About a month ago i decided to get back into it since I retired. I bought a fisher f2 detector and reallly like its ease of use. So, to make a long story short, I'm not exactly a newbie but still have much to learn.

I'm really wanting to do some CW relic hunting if you guys want get together and find someplace to go.

Yeah I would like to and maybe learn some stuff, cause I'm clueless on this stuff where I'm just starting out, I don't know of many places around here to go really, I got me a quick draw II that I'm learning how to use, not top of the line but didn't wanna put a fortune in it till.I saw how I would like it

Hello fellow West Virginians!!!

I've been hunting in Putnam county in some local parks. Nothing too interesting but some clad. I also have a cabin on the Greenbrier River and have been hunting in the woods and river banks.

Maybe we should all get together and do some hunting sometime. Any interest in forming a club

Hey do you do any detecting at the Hurricane park with the wave pool also where they have the civil war reenactment, it's a pretty big park I'm going to have to give it a try someday.

 

[cornell349]

No I can't say I have ever detected there, I'm not to far away from there though, have you done any good there

 

[wsswesty]

I've never hunted at the wave pool. As a matter of fact, I've never been there... Lol. Sounds like it may be a good place to hunt if we could get permission. The reenactment site might be excellent!

 

[JmCraz8]

I believe it's a public park.

The Putnam county Fair in Eleanor is July 14-21. I will be going down there when the fair is over. Maybe we could all get together then. It should be good hunting!

 

[cornell349]

Have you all hit any fair grounds yet or made any good finds

 

[digging wv]

I live in southern Kanawha co. Coal camps bring up a few goodies from time to time. I've done pretty good at an old train yard that caught a huge amount of debris during a flood in the 50"s.(whole houses washed into the area) Have a few homesteads around if you know where to look. You have to dig a lot of scrap. And remember folks weren't wealthy by any means in this area. But a few neat relics do reward your patience.

 

[cornell349]

Yeah I'm in Boone and weren't no wealthy people there by any means, I ain't had a real chance to hunt lately cause of work and stuff but in a couple weeks it will be let up to where I can hunt, you made any good finds?

 

[digging wv]

That was one hell of a storm cornell. Lost power and water for six days. And we were lucky it wasn't more than that!

 

[cornell349]

Yeah I didn't have power for a few days, lost my food and fridge, to bad it didn't stir up and relics to hunt

 

[cornell349]

Anyone made any good local finds lately, I ain't had time to do much hunting myself but gna start in a couple weeks on a few local spots

 

[cornell349]

Any luck on the fair ground

I am in southern WV and new to detecting. We recently purchased a White's Coinmaster. I am also trying to find a resource telling the establishment of the various cities and towns including unincorporated areas. A history as well as lists of people that settled / established them would be a huge help too. Thank you.

 

[Rh2racing]

In Fairmont here. I am hitting the local parks in hopes to find something good. I wish I could get a good relic site to hunt.

 

[robgwv]

Mason co. here. Still scout'n spots...Weathers gonna be good Sat.,Hope to get some swing'n in

 

[Rh2racing]

Found one penny in a park on my last outing but other than trash nothing else

 

[johniangel]

I'm in Ritchie County. I just started detecting this year and I'm addicted! I found my first silver right in my front yard, a 1906 Barber quarter!
