Plenty of finds this time of year, lots of place to hit and get started. The club members have recently been going out with some minor successes. Had lots of displays at club meeting tonight.

I wouldnt say its very obscure. I think its more that people here dont want to talk about what they find. If they do show you, you wont get a very honest answer on the general area they find things. You get answers like "Over there" or "my secret spot." And for the most part, they are not posted up here for too many to see.

I am in Salt Lake and have been detecting for about 7 months now, and even though I have tried to meet like minded folks, to enjoy the hobby with, I have still never been out with anyone else besides myself. Seems fmrUSMC_0844 is dead on with his assesment, the way I see it anyway. I am amazed to see how "clicky" and "hush hush" the group of MD'ers is... I had no idea it would be this way. I get it to some degree but I also cant help but think how much more effective you could be with a few people "teaming up" to do research, find good spots, make sure things arent missed at those good spots, etc... Opposed to everyone trying to keep everything secretive as to increase their own chances of finding all the goods. I guess its a good thing that I truly enjoy the solace that comes from detecting alone... for now.
Good luck everyone.
P.S. - I am at 12 silvers for the 2012, so even though I need to pick it up, I am happy with that...

I will be back in Utah in June. Once I am back into my routine with my regular job (currently mobilized in the USMC in NC) I will be hittting it hard. I have ID'ed a number of properties up in Box Elder County. Out here in NC, driving 1-2 hours to a site is the norm. There is so much history out west that the BLM (Big Land Monster) does not have oversight on. Research, research.research....
