Detector(s) used
DFX, COMPASS SCANNER,
Until yesterday I didn't know you could hunt the state fair grounds. We were visiting my future dad and mom-n-laws in Sedalia when Clay my f-f-n-l who has been detecting since theres been detectors took me over to the fair grounds. It was the best day we have had in 2009 to detect but not 15 minutes in and Clays old whites 5000D started messing up, well I had just went on the south faceing side of a large building where I could dig, everything else is frozen to about 5 inches I was hitting clad at 3 - 6 inches man I had some high hopes but I didn't want him to sit and watch why I was haveing fun, so we left. I cant wait to get back, theres got to be some silver there. Theres probably 300 acres including parking so Im real glad I found out you can hunt it. We were looking last night on ebay at detectors for him, he was talking about sending his whites in for a refurbish, its a older unit id say late 70's or early 80's model. I told him he could probably upgrade to something newer, thats would be cheaper than sending his in for repair because of shipping and all. What do you all think? He does want a whites and I think there is a more modern version of the 5 & 6000d detectors out there, he is use to that circuitry and has found a ton of coins over the years so we are looking for one. If you all know where there is something on that order out there worth the money I would like to hear from ya. PM me. His birthday is coming up soon and he has just bagan to get back into things after a long battle with colon cancer so I really would like to get him something. Well thanks if you can help, Here is my big take for about 20 minutes or so, but I think there is some potential at this fairgrounds. HH JYD

Clad to five or six inches may be a good telling sign, good luck with those grounds! I'm sure if you look around you can get him a good new detector for a great price. Fisher, Tesoro, Garret, White, all have detectors in a very affordable range these days.
 
JUNKYARD DOG,
sorry that you and your friend had to cut short
you hunt. Sounds like you got a good location.

Lot of detectors out there for a good price.

Hope you find a bunch there; keep us posted.

have a good un.....

Junkyard dog,I have not hit the fairgrounds there(live in Warsaw),but the only time I have seen or heard of detectors in there is the first two days after an event.All those acres are filled to capacity with campers at the state fair.It stands to reason that the whole area could not be covered in just a couple of days,so you should be able to find quite a lot there.Goodluck.
 
HOPE YOU HAVE ALOT OF GOOD HUNTS. :thumbsup:
 
looks like you was doing pretty good there. hope you find a detector soon. have you checked the classifies ads here for one as there has been a few posted already this month....Matt
 
Wes....I bet you will clean house there buddy. There's some silver hidin' under all that clad...and your just the feller' to find it :thumbsup:
