Ahh, San Antonio; mixed emotions: Sweltering heat during basic training in July (years ago) at Lackland AFB but did lose 42 pounds in the process.
Good luck TH-ing.

[Metal Detecting Stuff]

I'm in Hondo, about 30 miles west of San Antonio, and don't have a metal detector yet but am looking. I don't know for sure what I want and that's the problem. I'd like to be able to find small gold as well as silver coins and relics. I've been here in the area for little over a year now and in Texas for 2 years. i was living on my sailboat in Rockport up until 8 weeks before Harvey blew ashore there.

I live very close to Hondo Creek and have never heard of any gold being found in it but it flows out of the hill country just like the Llano River does where gold has been found. I know there's a lot of exposed bedrock but haven't done any real research.

Llano is where most pan for gold. A good detector that is waterproof is the new Minelab Equinox 800. Will find nuggets, jewelry, coins, artifacts.
