I will be there, never saw metal detectors there before ??? I go for agates. I am trying to get a sample of all the agates from New Mexico and Chihuahua.
Any chance you can post more information...like where in Deming, how much does it cost, campsites ect. I might want to go.
Thanks.

Deming is about 50 miles west of Las Cruces on I-10. There are camping places all over. I don't think it costs anything but if it does it is not more than $5.00.

Thanks..I could just barely read the sign. It's going to be at the Rockhound Roundup if that helps. They should have something posted on the net.

I’d like to recommend for beginners the Barska Pro, which can be bought for about $90 at Best Buy, likely online, and similarly at Walmart, a good value for a fun recreational hobby. I will maybe become a Barska Pro(fessional) myself ..heh

What city and state
Hey Salvage Diver,
Where are you located? I spent some time underwater. I've salvaged boats from San Diego to the Channel Islands.
I plan on going to this shindig. I will be the guy with a German Shepherd, a Belgian Malinois, and a GPZ7000.
Hope to see you there. We can swap horror stories.

You can PM me here for details too.....b
Thanks for the information. I love the Deming area and plan on being in that area in the next month or so rockhounding. I will try to coordinate time to be at the detector competition. Nice people in that area. Or there was the last time I was there a few years back.
I will have my metal detector with me but do not know of any private property in that area where I could look for relics. I plan on using my detector on some GPAA sites. I primarily hunt gems/rocks and relics.

I'm going to try to be there. I've driven through that town so many times. Never actually checked it out. Here is the opportunity. See you there. Look for the guy with 2 dogs ( German Shepherd &Belgian Malinois).

Should be easy to spot you. I will look for you. I will be an old man with an Australian Terrier that weighs 15 pounds but thinks she weighs 150 lbs.
