thanks Takoda and strickman,
i just had a son and i am planning to do so much with him that i can't wait. i think we are gonna start by visiting some areas for short trips. to get the feel of the area. i am hoping to be able to bring my father with us as well. i have a travel trailer to stay if that is necessary. i would like a small cabin of sorts to stay in but if not, i could drag the trailer with me. Takoda i have been lookin in dahlonaga area and noticed it is pricey. being that i am not familiar with the area, i would say i would like hunt on my property. so with that comment, what would be necessary to the property, creek, valley, mountain side, i have no idea. any info would be great in helping me with my search. My son is one so i have some time to look around a bit and get my bills in order. i sure i couldn't afford more than a few acres. Also i understand some people not wanting to comment on exact location but the names of a county i don't think would infringe on their current prospecting. Like i said i live in south Florida and i hunt the beaches of south Florida, from Jupiter inlet to boyton inlet and i don't say exactly where i like to go, and it isn't the best area to hunt for Spanish treasure but i still go and have no problem telling a fellow prospector about where i go. i have meet up with one gentleman from Treasurenet because of it. In turn he gave me a good spot and i went with him to my spot and he found a gold pendent that day. It was a fun day shared with a fellow hunter. Takoda i am willing to go primitive, unless i hit the powerball.Thanks again takoda and strickman.
