Looking for Lexington Metal Detector buddies

[minter400]

Looking for a treasure hunting buddy to go Metal Detecting with around Lexington.
Got my first detector in '74 in the good ol' Beat Frequency Oscillator days.
I've gone from Jetco Mustang, Treasure Sensor, Compass and Garrett detectors to,
most recently, Fisher.

Welcome Minter......do you detect downtown any?

Hey Jamie,

Thanks! I haven't detected around Downtown yet. I've seen quite a few areas that I have always wanted
There is this one house built probably around late 1800s - early 1900s that is sitting empty. It has a fairly
good size front and back yard. I would love to get permission to hunt it. That area of original settlement
from the 1780s-1880s looks very interesting. Everything is built pretty tightly together, though with some
research, I'm sure there are some spots tucked in and around that area that would produce great finds.

I offer free metal detecting service for anyone who has lost a metallic item in a detectable area. Sometimes
this opens up an opportunity to hunt an older residential property.

I have permission to detect a vacant lot downtown, when we get some rain, I'll be all over it. It's a big lot and could use some help. I'll shout.

Jamie, Sounds great. I am definitely up for a good hunt. I recently borrowed my friend's Tesoro Tejon and have
been looking for a good chance to test it out. Just let me know when you'd like to go detecting. Brian

That you on CraigsList? Been wondering who that is......

LOL You saw that? Yeah, that's me. I post on there every so often. Have never gotten a call though.
I don't mind helping people for free as long as it is not a long driving distance. I always hope that
offering a free service like that will open up the chance to search older, undetected yards. I love
hunting older residential properties because in most cases they produce rewarding coin finds.

Great idea! Any rain headed our way?!

 

[minter400]

It looks like Friday will be a soaker with rain extending into part of Saturday. Sunday look like a decent day, though it's
supposed to be quite a bit cooler.

 

[1320]

Great, we need it. What kind of free days/time do you have?

 

[minter400]

Usually anytime on Saturday or Sunday is best.

I just moved back to Lexington after the exwife gave me my house back. I live right off of Paris Pike in the Mary Todd area. I enjoy going out as much as I can would not mind to have some people to hunt with and conduct some research. My email address is bernieclark@hotmail.com. Drop me a line now that the weather is getting warmer.
