Any Diggers in San Antonio that can help keep my sanity?

Hello all, Gonna be working there for a bit, and would like to do some hunting. Any locals out there that can drop an idea or steer me in a direction? I'm into just about anything in the ground course the older the better! Thanks, Snaps

You might have more luck taking I-35 north to the little town of Fredericksburg. It's an old German town and famous for its peaches. I hear it's grown a bit since I was last there (20+ years ago), but it's nothing compared with SATX.

There's probably LOTS to find around the Alamo and the River Walk, but somehow I don't think you would be very welcomed in those places.

KCM much obliged, I will look into Fredericksburg, an go down to the Alamo and just drool for a while. Cheers!

It seems like another life since I visited the Alamo, but do remember some of the awesome displays.

Pepperj, can't wait to check it out,Gold boy, not many can say there related to someone who was there, that's awesome!

my dad also told me i'm related to the 12th president and Jefferson Davis by his daughter marring him i may have to get into my family history

 

[snaps]

Gold boy I think detecting around your relatives houses might be as interesting as the Alamo!

i know right but probably his house his a historical land mark

Brackenridge Park is the oldest big park in San Antonio. Pretty sure it's over 100 years old. But sometimes smaller parks in big cities are better, and old small towns can be great. How long you think you'll be there? I might be able to do some research, but probably not today. Best wishes.

55 years ago, I lost 42 pounds of fat at basic training in LAFB, San Antonio.
If you find it, don't contact me; I don't want it back.

George, Thanks for the tips! Probably be out there around 3 months give or take. If no one runs me off I will try those parks, an explore the smaller towns. Don, I could use that actually, can't gain weight to save my life! Thanks an Happy Hunting, Snaps
