Greetings to all.
I am completely new at treasure hunting.
I live in South Texas and work on a big ranch where I discovered the joys of rock collecting-petrified wood, jasper, agates and flint. Before I knew it, I had a huge storage shed full of rocks.
Now I've decided to step it up and I went out and bought a relatively inexpensive metal detector. So, now I'm outfitted out with no place to go.
Maybe some of the more experienced hunters can point me in the right direction.
Is there anyplace in Texas to hunt?
I look forward to learning a lot and hopefully make some friends along the way.

Welcome to the site from middle Georgia Cindy! Hope you find some new friends to detect with and can share some interesting finds when you make them. Check with the local forums to you and see if you can google any local clubs or archeological groups that also may hunt with you or point you in the right direction. Best of luck and safe hunting!
