NJ transplant, settled in CO for a few years now...

Situated east of Durango, there has to be more than beauty and beast in these hills.

After lurking for some days, I decided to join what looks like a brilliant group of real people. I hope you'll have me!

I am Eric, pleased to meet you all

Hi Eric, I have a friend in Pagosa Springs that metal detects. You live in one of my favorite areas.

It's hard not to love it here, that's for sure. If I can find some viable treasure hunting methods locally, that'd be incredible. I can't imagine having a reason to go play in the woods, beyond the sheer recreation of it ;p

Man, are you in a great area for digging the ghost towns!
My first token dug was from Rico, Colorado, and it started a obsession that has lasted 15 years.
You don't say if you detected in Jersey, if you did you might be disappointed by the age difference in finds.
1900-to now, relatively common.
1890's, little harder.
1880's, a pleasant surprise.
1870's and older, mini-heart attacks.
But if you look for gold, you're in the right spot. Tokens are my find of choice, and you are surrounded by ghost towns, old mining camps,
and railroad related stuff.
Happy hunting!
Carl
On a depressing note, if you are seeking a decent Italian, Jewish, or any salt water food of any sort,
give up now.
