First Timer - and my first find!

apalm · Jul 10, 2017

I am very much an amateur. I'm interested in starting hunts for things in spare time in the Bay Area, California, USA. Interested in native american things, or anything non-european. Not super interested in old United States artifacts but I wouldn't mind finding them. I might get a metal detector soon.

Made my first find today on a hunt--an old blade of some sort: http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/today-s-finds/546902-very-rusted-blade-old-first-find-ever.html

Thanks for having me!

thanks against the wind! say, could you help me? can i move one of my posts to another forum? I think I put it in the wrong forum (Today's finds) when actually I don't know exactly what it is so I want to move it to "What is it?"

Welcome Aboard! Take a look at Sub-Forums: California for information (i.e., clubs, etc.) directly related to your state. Also, I moved your thread (very rusted blade (Old??) First find ever!) over to Our Discoveries > What Is It?.

Hello and welcome from another Bay Area'er.

I'm pretty new to all this too, but would definitely be up for hunting some creeks and rivers. There are definitely a few I've become familiar with over the years, but previously the only treasure I had my eye out for were trout... the earth looks different now that Ive joined this forum. If you're looking for a buddy to scout around with lemme know.
