roll call

[rebelLT]

Just wondering where everyone is from? Ive been hunting for about 18 years and maybe interested in getting with some of my fellow Kansans for a hunt or two. Im from Crawford County/ Pittsburg. Lots of good stuff here just not a lot of really old stuff.

 

[sniffer]

I live in the Wichita area, just started detecting.

 

[Kansas]

I am in the City of Shawnee, just south of K.C.

 

[eric in ks]

I'm a few miles west of Wichita in a town that didn't really grow until the mid 1880's. My buddy relikhunter lives in southeast kansas also, and digs lots of good stuff. I don't think people in these farming communities had a lot to lose. HH, Eric

I live in Dodge City.

Plenty of places to hunt here.

Fort Dodge is just down the road 5 miles. Although hunting on the old soldiers fort is forbidden, there is a corn field just east of the fort that I have secured permission to hunt. It was the area in which the army practiced shooting, marching and various other activities. Over the years relics are getting harder to find. Those left are being hit by the plow and other impliments. Have found literally 100's of old shell casings and a couple of old steel buttons from the uniforms worn in the 1860's.

I am way out here by Hays. I have been hunting for almost 25 years. I have had the pleasure of hunting for coins as well as relics, and even tho things are getting harder and harder to find, I still manage to do ok. Have been on many of the Butterfield Overland Despatch stations along the Smoky Hill trail as well as hunting a 7th cavalry camp that took me years of research to track down. But like you always hear, the research pays off.
So many places to hunt and so little time...........

Hey rebellt i'm next door to ya in allen co.Been hunting for about 4 yrs. now and love it .Used to hang out at twister's in pittsburg........rh

 

[diggerodell]

I'm in Lyons. I've been detecting since the '60's. I use a Tracker IV bounty hunter which I wish I had when I first started detecting. It is the first detector that I can say has paid for itself. The oldest coin I've found is an 1874 Indian head. I like finding tokens best. They are all cool to find but one I treasure the most is a watch fob from the Lyons Central Flour Mill which would date to the early 1900's. The ball diamond is the best place to hunt here in Lyons. I've also hunted the State Fair Grounds in Hutchinson and I find wheaties there every time.

 

[Rob in KS]

I'm about 12 mi NW of Mcpherson. I've been detecting on our farm for about 3 years. I got my son a detector about 6 years ago, he's moved on to girls and cars

Lots of iron, a few bottles, a few artifacts

I'm surprised to see so many folks here in KS.

Hay again.
Had a nice surperise one day last week. Had sent my Teknetics T2 in for a check up. After two weeks
I called the co to see way I had not got it back yet. The gal said it is on its way. When I got it and opened the box I told my wife to look at this. What she said. this is not the detector I sent in. In fact it is a new one. No dust, dirt, scratch,s, Not even the mar on the battery box. My ID mark on the in side of the battery
box is gone. and you cant get read of that.
Hay Relichunter Have you ever hunted over here in the Iola Sq. ? Guess what I was told that that the Sq
is offlimits To hunting by the cops here. I was there one sunday morn. When a cop stoped and ask me to
leave. That the county had told him if he seen any one diging to run them off. OK so I called kent thompson ask if the commis. had talk about this. He said no but that he would check in to it. Haveint
heard from him. But will see him today and find out. Got to go. HH digadime69 Don

I'm a Wichita newbie, from Las Vegas,NV., and retired.

I've been THing 25 yrs. Until recently, I went to Europe twice a year to dig the Roman stuff. A worn out back makes me partial to beach recovery, but I'm still game for anything but water recovery.

Have van..... will travel...shoot pool, play poker, cuss, drink, [not much] , and B.S. with the best. I prefer THing, pool, and poker. Any takers?


PS) I'll be leaving for Central America
in ten days or less, and will away several
weeks.
