Have detector, will travel

[azdirtdigger]

One of the challenges of traveling full time is trying to figure out where to hunt every time you hit a new area. We are currently in the St. Roberts MO area. After some research and test hunts I think I have found an area worth spending some time in.

2 quick hunts have resulted in 3 keepers and enough older clad quarters and dimes to tell me the area hasn't been beat to death by MD'ers ahead of me. I will now slow down and methodically hunt the area.

The keepers

The IH is a 1900.

I am still looking for locals to hunt with. If anyone wants to put a hunt together, shoot me a PM.

Go get em Azdirtdigger. Nice Finds. I used to ravel the country also, construction superintendent, until health problems slowed me way down. Good Luck

We are enjoying ourselves. And the farther east we go the older things are getting. I'm like a kid in a candy store. Spending the season in Missouri, Louisiana and Kentucky. Everything is so much older than Arizona!

That Barber was almost a Seated!

Looks like a good spot to me. Good luck and I’m very jealous of your lifestyle.

Hi, Jimmy. I see you're still posting great finds.
The 1/4 Real was definitely older, even though I could never clean it up enough to read the date.

My oldest coin (if I dated it right) was a Chinese coin I found at a old gold mine camp in Nevada. It was circa 1790.

Wish I was in your area, I'd join. Maybe try the Missouri section of the forum? Nicely done!!
