Dayton, Ohio where to hunt?

[Dad_of_3]

Hello All!

I am new to th hobby, I live in WV near Maryland. I am going to be in the Dayton OH area for a week end of April. Since it is only a 6.5 hour drive I decided not to fly. (Plus if I drive I can bring my MD )

I have never been to Dayton or OH to be honest. Does anyone know of a place to MDing while I am there? Of if anyone is interested in having a MD partner in the evening while I am there?

Anything would be great!

Hi! Welcome to the site!

I also live in WV, about 3+ hrs. from Dayton, but sorry, I can't help you since I haven't detected Ohio yet, even though it is right across the river. Try doing a search online. You should be able to get city maps of Dayton.

Good luck!...........HH

Hello Dad! Man you take your locator with you and you will find a place to use it. I'd suggest the berms between the sidewalks and roadway in any older part of the town. That alone would keep you busy for the time you'd be there. Just keep your eyes open around town and you'll see many places to check. This will work in anyplace any town, at least it has for me when it come to coin shooting. Have fun.

When in doubt if you can't find a decent place to MD. There are always schools and usually parks near by. A quick google search as previously stated will always yield some potential spots.
