Will be in Texas in August

[cntrydncr1]

My son is enrolling in UNT and I will be taking him there Aug. 16th. I could hunt on the 17th and 18th while he is doing his orientation. Wondering if anyone wants to hunt? I'm guessing it will be too hot to dirt dig. Any lakes with beaches?? Should I just leave my detecting stuff home?

It sure will be a killer in August. I would still bring my detector just in case I find a place to hunt. Galveston isn't very far away. Have some beach hunting there. At least the ground will be soft. Here in my area it as hard as concrete. Good Luck...Have a safe trip.

Watch out for the county parks in Harris county. I hear they are off limits to detectors.

Thanks for all the help! I think I'm going to forgo the detecting this trip..

When you get on your way, if you travel I-10 toward Houston you will cross over the Trinity River where they are building new bridges, and then you will cross another flat bridge. The first sign will be Lost River, and the one on the west side will be Old River. That where I live, and got my name from. About three to four miles north of I-10. Wave when you come by, and blow you horn. Have a safe trip....

A big HOWDY to you and your son.

He will love UNT....and for your MD in the area, you are 30 min from the whole north end of Lake Lewisville. Pull up Denton, Tx. on google maps and you will see the lake just to the east. I think you might enjoy the area.

Do remember to start early, sunscreen everything, wear a hat, carry water. I always put a liter bottle in the freezer the night before, loosen the top, and sip on it as it melts. That way I don't drink too much at once, and measure my time md by the melt rate.(otherwise I tend to lose time in the hunt regardless of the conditions. )

I hope you do give it a try.

UNT is the best place for a degree in music. World famous 1:00 Jazz Band. Much luck to him.
The only restrictions that I am aware of, and been called on, is in the State Parks. The SP is well marked and has an entrance or gate. No chance of accidentally wondering on to it. You should have no problems any where else as long as it is not private property.

If you are going to hunt Lake Lewisville, it is a Corps of Engineers lake and you need a permit from their office on the south side of the lake in Lewisville. It is free. Do you have a water detector? There are limitations as to how far from the water's edge you can detect on land and what kind of digging tool you can use. They also make you sign a paper that says you will turn in anything worth $25 or more......
