If you guys don't mind, I'd be interested. Almost anytime/day/place is good for me. Retirement (for now) is a good thing, lol.

Thanks
Everyone is welcome.....

Everyone needs to bring an appetite and suggest an option for this spring's first group hunt?!?

Get your maps out, or contemplate your wings on the Tree of Woe.

Is that Mr. Hot & Spicey on the Wheatie Tree??

I am here to confirm my involvement Sunday! Let's talk about a spring hunt then...maybe tell our best (or worst) stories from 2009 as a precursor to the new 2010 season.

I haven't seen some of you guys in awhile, so I'm in. I'll bring some maps of a potentially great hunting spot that will keep all of us busy for a long time if you're willing to make a short cruise. I'll see you Sunday with details.

Looks like I might have to skip this one guys. Unless you plan on hanging around for awhile.

The bank FINALLY accepted our final offer on our first house (foreclosure) last night! The inspector is in there 11 A.M. Sunday morning. He said the process would take about three hours. After I'm done with paperwork and such, I'll give one of you guys a call and assess the situation. It's a 45 minute trip for me, so I don't know if it will be worth it to show up post-wings. I'll keep you posted...

I plan to be there!
Anyone thinking of doing some digging beforehand or afterward?
I think there's lots of woods around there but I have no idea if they're diggable.

Twistidd not showing up? All I can say is that Kimsdad better come, and he better come in his superhero regalia. Seriously congrats on entering the joy and sometimes challenge of home ownership.

I could do afterwards, but I am sure the amount of daylight would have to cooperate. Plus I hear snow is coming again.

BTW,
I hope to be there, unless ...

Re: Get together for Food and Brew Feb 21st is the day....UPDATE SEE WHERE

The place (BWW) is basically backed up against the site of the old Poplar Creek Music Theatre. I remember two guys I met up with detecting who said they worked the site when it was torn down, before the hillside was leveled. In three days they said they recovered something like 2800 quarters, several halves and tried to leave everything under a quarter in the ground. The dirt from the hillside amphitheatre there was spread over the area behind the shopping center, gotta be some clad-tastic totals in that dirt along with countless bling.

Cool! You should bring that fine capped bust you found so I can touch it for good luck! ;D

No hunting for me, though. Too much snow on the ground to suit my coil. :-\
