Tea, SD here. New to this, but as part of my Mom's Day present, DH and I are hunting a lake later today. I use a Fisher 1212 DX-very entry-level I know, but should be good for starters. Hello to all fellow South Dakotans!

I am planning my summer vacation and we are planning on going to Mount Rushmore. So I am asking fellow detectists for some ideas on where to stay. I will be bringing a couple of detectors with me. My DFX and my Excal. So where is places where I can water detect and pan for gold and nuggert hunt at. Plus if there is anyone that would like to get together and do some of these things together I would appricate it. We are planing on a July vacation as of right now....Thanks for your help. Matt

Just bought an AT Gold. Haven't used it yet because of daily rain and floods. I have seen a pic of three nice small nuggets found with a detector. I was told it was east of Keystone. Probably any creek beds are worth a shot. Especially ones with lower water flows since its rare that people sluice or pan those areas as much.

jeff-gordon: You're not going to have much luck around Hot Springs as far as prospecting goes, you're going to have to venture farther north around Custer and Hill City before you find any gold that might be worth your time. If I'm not mistaken, there might be fossils around the Hot Springs area though if that's something you're interested in.

HOOAHEXTREME: let us know if you find any nuggets with your new detector! Do you have a copy of the picture of the three nuggets found east of Keystone? I've only prospected there once and didn't have any luck on some little nameless creek I was at. I would like to give Battle Creek a try sometime.
