Alberta Park in Portland -Was that you?

[JeepMcMuddy]

Got out for a few hours today with my hunting buddy and hit a few spots. We pulled into Alberta Park in PDX and saw not one, not two but 4 guys hunting the ballfield! They all looked to be swinging newer minelabs. Was that you? If so, did you find anything? We almost never see other hunters, and to see 4 was pretty surprising. We decided to move on to another park and pulled a few bucks in Clad, nothing too special. Beautiful day though, spring must be right around the bend!

Also forgot to mention, we did our good deed for the hobby today. We were approached by a city maint. worker, I thought for sure he was coming over to harass us, turns out he came over to see if we could help him locate a buried sprinkler valve. Sure enough a few minutes, my detecting buddy zero'd in on it for him. He was very grateful. It was nice to be able to help someone out!

Cheers.

4 hunters + in one ball field.....someone should start selling tickets. The weather must have cleared up so you could see the sun.....and in the PDX area, in Feb., that's nice. (I was born/raised on the dry, sunny side of Oregon, nearby LaGrande, in Elgin. I went to college in Newberg, and hated every minute of it......due to the weather. (Once after going about 3 months without seeing the sun a full hour on any of those days, I called and asked my friend if the sun was still coming up in the morning, and could he send me a picture.

Hey Jeep,

Way to go on helping the maintenance worker finding the valve!

I'm sure you were, but always be very friendly, and introduce yourself and your buddies. Ask his name and tell him you are always willing to help out. Spread goodwill as much as you can.

We need all the allies we can get on our side!

That's always a good thing, doing a good deed and now the maintenance guy will remember it. Lets hope the other MDers filled in their holes
