New to Louisiana and the hobby

[treasuregirls]

Hi everyone,
My wife and I recently relocated to Louisiana from Colorado. Out west, we did a little bit of metal detecting but mainly stuck to gold prospecting. With no places to really go sluicing out here and not a lot of worthwhile gold to be found, we are converting to metal detecting. We both have the treasure hunting bug. We are just introducing ourselves and seeing if any one has any advice or places we should check out in the area. We are in a small town in Ascension Parish.

Thanks everyone. We are looking forward to getting to know everyone and exploring this new hobby of ours.
Treasuregirls.

Welcome to Louisiana and to the forum. What draws does Louisiana have for Colorado folks? Possibly the food or weather? My next door neighbors moved here form Boulder CO about a year or so ago.

My family lives here. But yes the food, the atmosphere, and the people drew my wife here. She's originally from Denver. After one Mardi Gras, she was hooked and begged to move down here. We love it here but we definitely miss the gold prospecting out west.

That's great. I can tell that you have a very intelligent wife.

Any luck with the metal detector? I'm in Donaldsonville, lots of history here but I haven't had time to do any searching yet!

Any divers with underwater metal detectors in the New Orleans area? If so, please let me know. I know today is not the time to look, but it will be soon enough.
