Greetings from Minnesota

[The Pulltab Collector]

Hello everyone!

I'm new to the world of metal detecting and would like to introduce myself. My name is Jacob and I am from Minnesota. I just got my metal detector today after dreaming of the hobby for quite sometime. I actually went on my first hunt tonight with my fiancee, needless to say it didn't go as awesome as it did in my head, but I did find a few clad and some junk. Hoping to improve my skills somehow.

I did research and I stumbled on this site, hoping to find some more metal detecting junkies that live in Minnesota to give me a few tips of the trade! Hopefully I can become a better member of this site and post some good finds.

Thanks guys
Right now I am having a hard time finding a place to even hunt in my area. I'm in the savage - burnsville area of Minnesota and I can't seem to find any suitable locations. :/ Any suggestions from fellow Minnesota hunters?

Hey there! Welcome. I am also from Minnesota and I am fairly new to the site but my advice is probably still valid. I don't know you local laws but parks, swimming holes, river banks, and even your neighbors yard (with their permission of course) are all good places to start. Always ask permission and don't be discouraged if you get some people who say no. That's part of the game. Use old maps and research. Sometimes the research is just as fun as the hunt! Good luck out there bud!

Hi guys! I'm from Apple Valley and grew up in Burnsville since the late 70s. I remember when county road 42 was nothing more than a single two lane DIRT road. Times have changed.
I will be going to pick spots this spring and am seeking some partners to chat with and search. Any of you guys remember the old billy goat bridge?
