Returning to Metal detecting, lookin for places.

[The Hunter]

Hi all, I bought a Whites Eagle Spectrum years ago but due to work, kids, a bad ex wife, and many other excuses I can't think of right now I never had a lot of time to use. I'm interested in doing some hunting with it and was wondering if anyone would share some interesting places to hunt around the Dallas/Ft. Worth area.

Thanks

Hunter, I am in Mesquite. Check out this Google Earth shot. I have been looking for a way to get to this old bridge. I have some very old road maps that show a road through there along the railroad tracks. The road is no longer visible. I drove to Seagoville and headed the direction of the bridge but the road was blocked off and has a sign, Sheriffs Firing Range. I can see the range on Google Earth and it's not close the bridge but if you could get past the range you could get allot closer. Know any Sheriffs around there? From the other side Scyene Road dead ends and I can't find a way to get near the bridge that way either. I am contemplating just parking and walking the tracks. I figure if there was a road through there, there might be some old home sites as well. If you can access Google Earth, go to the coordinates at the bottom of the pic and check it out youself. I am going to the Chisholm Trail Hunt next weekend but if you are interested we could give it a shot in a few weeks. Also here is a link for the East Fork Treasure Hunters Club. We meet the first Tue each month.

Hey Texan, good to hear from you. I can't wait to get to the CTH myself. I am hoping since it is pretty far away from any big town and on private property that it hasn't been hit before, at least not to hard. Looking forward to meeting you. And hey, I know you are not close to here but if you want to give that bridge a shot sometime let me know, or if you have time Thur you could give it a shot but I am pretty sure it's going to be hoofing it along the tracks.. I have to work Thur and as soon as I can get out of there we are headed north.

Hey TN, the Bridge looks interesting, I'll have to do a little research this weekend when I'm off work. I live in Forney so it' not to far.
