Is there anyone out there in York County Pa? Looking for some goods ideas for places to MD. Thanks!

I am in York County. Other than public parks and the like, good luck finding places to md. Nobody will give permission to detect on their property.

I'm from Cambria county, (about 3 hours from york) and am interested in panning/prospecting there. I'm new to the hobby... First I collected some nuggets (bought on ebay), then moved on to buying paydirt (for practice), now I'm hooked and ready for the real thing. Let me know if anyone's interested... Thanks!

Im in york county and know a couple other guys that I used to detect with ...i think there are enough guys in the area for a club.

I live in East York and think a club is a great idea. I am just coming back to detecting and have found that it's tough to get permission for hunts, I have made biz cards on my computer and gave them out to some historic property owners, they seem impressed with the card and I believe it gives me a leg up on someone just stopping by to ask permission and they have my number handy if they change their mind.

I have had one person tell me that I can detect but I have to turn all finds over to them. I am willing to pay per hunt but want to keep my finds.

Glad to be here

York County resident, Loganville area. Skip and a jump to MD. Just getting back into the hobby, it's been awhile. Just an M6 machine, very potent bugger. Finally tried it out on Tuesday and thought I was going to dig to China. Finally got a little bitty braclet clasp at 10 inch's sheesh. Club sounds interesting, wouldn't hurt.

I'm in the Etters area, and I agree, it's super tough getting people to give the go ahead around here

I have started to get some ideas on a club going. I obtained the domain name YMDC.us (York Metal Detecting Club) and want some input on design and interest in membership (free vs. small fee, etc).

I am also very interested in joining a hunt for Gettysburg relics, willing to pay for hunt rights. Any ideas or plans, please inform me. Thanks

The starter site is at Welcome to The York Metal Detecting Club and if interest permits I will upgrade to use just YMDC.us domain name. Please send me suggestions or register on the site. Thanks

I'm in if we get a club started. It is really hard to get permission. People think you are stealing from them or something. They also have this vision of a guy with a ton of shovels, picks and crap. You try to explain as simple as possible, but they are pretty much set in their ways. I don't know . Maybe its me. I use deodorant, and comb my hair. LOL

Sirmig · Feb 19, 2016

You guys still around? Why don't we put our heads together and start something.

TreasureHuntress2010 · Mar 9, 2016

I'm from Pittsburgh would really like to hear if u guys have ever hunted in the area!

Sirmig · Mar 11, 2016

Never been out that way. I'm sure there are plenty of places to go to.

my gold club is located just south of Red Lion, we have many guys that metal detect (abt 1/2 the club). we have a property that we lease and meet there monthly. we have detecting outings a couple times a year, sometimes do local stuff like cetronia, and couple parks, etc, sometimes do places like indian inlet Delaware or other beach hunts. we also have a detector hunt in the fall time for prizes
