Detector(s) used
DFX 300
Primary Interest:
All Treasure Hunting
Please note: This hunt is not associated in any way, with the operators of this website.

UPDATE: REMEMBER this is PRIVATE PROPERTY... The owner loves metal detectorists and has had many there over the last 23 years. We are also contemplating having an area of planted relics I have recieved so many donations that I think that would be the best to do with the stuff, but this I am not 100% on the planted field yet...

Hello All, I am Inviting friends from Treasure-Net, To a Civil War encampment hunt on Saturday Oct. 14th 2006 from 9 A.M. Until 6 P.M. Only Registered T-Net members from 7-13-06 and before will be allowed to attend, this will stop rouge Relic Hunters from trying to just come.
This is for us friends at Treasure Net.
Details: There is a $25.00 sign -up fee for Detectorists non detectorists will have to pay $10.00 This is first come first served only the first 75 payed will be allowed to attend. The money will be used for refreshments, Door Prizes, and donation to the land owner. I have also added a PAY PAL donation link on the site for those who's like to pay by Pay Pal.
The land was occupied by 4,000 plus Union Civil War Soldiers during all 4 years of the War, there are original earthworks still on the property today, they were put there to guard a major railroad bridge the General thought there would be a major battle there and large earthworks were built, but the battle never happened. this spot has been metal detected before I was there last week and In 15 min. I found a $200.00 seated half dime less than 2 in. deep and found 6 dropped minnie balls... and an eagle button, there are many items still to be found.
LOCATION: The exact location will be given out to payed hunters only, you can find Motel rooms and food in Sedalia Mo. that is near the site of the hunt. Memebers so far that I believe are attending:
Gypsyheart ,
Tsgman ,
Nana40 ,
River Rat ,
bgscofield ,
Scotty,

Re: T-Net Forum Hunt!!! In Oct.

Where is the nearest major airport? I would be flying in from Seattle if I can make it. Maybe someone would be interested in splitting the cost on a motel room?

Thanks!

Re: T-Net Forum Hunt!!! In Oct.

Re: T-Net Forum Hunt!!! In Oct.

sounds like a great time. I will be sending out my money today.
 

Re: T-Net Forum Hunt!!! In Oct.

thanks guys it should be fun there is a small museum in the barn on the property the land owners are 80+ years old, they are sweet and nice and want people to look at the museum stuff that have been found on the property and sign a guest book. :)

I already got 10 messages from people saying they sent the money to me today so it moving fast!!! hh all jd
 

Re: T-Net Forum Hunt!!! In Oct.

JD, have the envelope made out. Are the couple just wanting to add the items to the museum or are they allowing the removal from the site?
 

Re: T-Net Forum Hunt!!! In Oct.

I'm ready! Got my money on the way!!!

Save me a spot JD!!!!

;)
 

Re: T-Net Forum Hunt!!! In Oct.

they you let you take what ever you find :), the museum was made by people giving them extra stuff they find there I have even given them stuff the last thing I gave them was an 1834 capped bust dime I found there last year. all they ask i if you find a box of gold coins you split it with them :) hehehe

Also I need a volunteer for someone to take photographs and video of the hunt, if you have a family member or friend that does not want to hunt but would like to help out with this let me know...jd
