Thanks,

What part of Lake Grapevine? There are some nice mountain bike trails that have plenty of people hiking them as well on the Flower Mound side of the dam. Also, the boat ramp down there would be a nice place to start.

I went around the shelters on both sides of the Lake. I'll try the other areas you suggested..

Thanks,

Jim

Just beside the bathroom is the start of the trail and it is extremely long. Our company did a cleanup there and I found 4 campsites rusted away from about 15 years of sitting. Never know what else was left. Good luck.

Hi,

I am in Flower Mound as well and would love to find places as well. I had to get a permit to search Lake Grapevine, but have had no luck. I did see a lady who has found lots of rings and clad there. If you come up with some place other than playgrounds to hunt, I would love to know. Don't know anyone in FM who metal detects. thanks

Hey, check out the old public/high school in Grapevine that was present at least as far back as 1921. The current site on good shows a school park where the building were before they moved them over apparenlty. Anyway, could be some really good finds there if it hasn't been pounded already. I have a pic of the Sanborn shot, and the second attachment is the current google location. Good luck if you go and show us your goods! Peace! Myelo

Wow! Would you believe my child goes to the private school that is located on that property now?? That corner is a playground and they have relocated one of the old schools back to the east side of the property. Thanks so much!! I will have to see if they will let me detect on it...
