Northern California Club Gets Permission to Hunt Abandoned Resort!....17 Silvers!!!

[Cool Hand Fluke]

We had 19 of our metal detector club members show up for a hunt at an abandoned resort near the Russian River in northern California.

We received permission to hunt this area for only about 3 hours so we worked it as fast as we could!

We dug out 17 silver coins in that small window of time! I got lucky with 4 silver dimes and 9 wheat pennies! We had a blast, it was neat seeing many of our club members finding silver coins! Even Reid at age 80 found one!

Congratulations on a great day for everyone! You really cleaned up. 71 total and 4 of them silver in just over 3 hours. Great job! Hope they let you come back.

Is your group still active? I have heard about it but not for a long time. I would like to attend a meeting if allowed. I met Rodney years ago on a jobsite when he worked for Lunardi Electric.
I assume that the site you were hunting was being demo'd and something else is built there now.
I live in Occidental.
