I noticed this was your very first post Dr.K - so, Welcome Aboard! You didn't list your state (or country) in your profile. So, you might consider jumping over to Sub-Forums: Select Your Area.... and selecting location information (i.e., clubs, hunts, finds, legends, maps, etc.) directly related to your state (or country).
..: Moved from Today's Finds! over to Our Discoveries > What Is It? for more exposure :..
