Newb in Elgin

[Nick T]

Hi - I've been looking for some md buddies in my area. I've hit most of the areas in Elgin, Sleepy Hollow, carpentersville and Dundee.

I was beginning to think I was the only one in this area until I found this site. Both my wife and I hunt and really enjoy the hobby.

Looking forward to meeting some detectorist and sharing stories.

Regards, Nick

Welcome to the IL section of TNet Nick

The reason you probably haven't seen us around is we all tend to hunt the
wooded FP areas

There's about 10 to 15 of us meeting at Buffalo Wings (Hwy 59 & Higgins)
late afternoon tomorrow (Sunday) . . . the time is yet to be determined.
You & your wife are more than welcome to join us. . . we'd love to meet you

Check out "TreasureFiends" post in the IL forum part of TNet.

Stop by Buffalo Wild Wings at 2:00pm SUNDAY at I90 near 59 and Higgins and meet and greet with a bunch of us

Welcome Nick T. Metal detecting is alot of fun and more fun hunting with friends here on T-Net.

Thanks for the kind welcome! I will try to make the BWW meet. But my dance card is pretty full today.

So you guys hunt the FP's? I have been working the parks. I thought the fp's were off limits. I will have to give them a try.

Thanks again,

Nick

Welcome Nick,

I never knew the full extent of the membership of this hobby either until I met up with the guys here a few year ago. I had seen people here and there but didn't think the hobby was as popular as it really is. In fact, since I have gotten involved with group hunts and such, I've seen a large flux of new hobbyists, so it seems the hobby is growing steadily.

Lowbatts is our resident Elgin guru and overall north Illinois historian. I still haven't gotten out that way yet but I fully intend to some time soon, hopefully I'll run into you. I'm in Chicago, north side.

Hope you can make it out to BWW...

G-O-O-F, that spells guru....
Any smarter and I'd be an intellectual understudy for Deputy Barney Fife.

Mine wants nothing to do with it.
