I live in the Wichita area also.. I use to MD for the Museum of World Treasures a couple times. I have MD'd and hunted arrowheads in the Caldwell area and dug an Imperial Mammoth in Wellington a couple years ago.. It was not a very succsessful outing (bull dozer found it first) but it wasn't a complete failure. I normally artifact hunt and MD the NE part of KS, but do hunt in the Wichita area when I am bored and feel brave and my partners with me.
We need to get a hunt together for just us ks. guy's!Meet in a central location pick some spot's and hunt the hell out of em...Something to think about.......rh
A weekend camping trip to an old Kansas ghost town would be a hoot. That's where Gazetteer's come in handy. If in NE Kansas, I am familiar with Irving, Barret, Bigelow, Cleburne areas.

Skylar, Have you looked at the Cibola? After three years of detecting, I bought a Vaquero and I really like it. Turn it on, ground balance, and go. If you don't need a screen to look at, Tesoro has a lot to offer. The Cibola is in the same price range as the Ace and IMHO, much more of a detector. Eric
That dont look anything like my Bounty Hunters. Looks like a very cheap md, but maybe it works well. I knew a guy that had lots of good luck with a 40 buck machine. He hunted circles around me because he knew how to use it. Merc
Hey, you guys in SE Kansas may have some homesite to hunt before long. Saw where the oil co. in Coffeville is buying out a 100+ homes from the flood and oil spill dump. Later this summer, they may be acquiring another 100+.
I have been detecting since '84, mostly around Atlanta Ga. I moved here to Kansas 2 1/2 yrs ago and am north of Salina about 30 mi in a little town called Delphos.
There sure are some pretty neat places to hunt around Kansas and I am slowly getting around to checking them all out....Grin!
A getogether hunt would be pretty cool, are there any organized hunts put on by clubs that any of you go to? I kind would like to go to at least one of those each year, always a good time to see new products and get a few freebies, find some cool stuff and meet ppl.
there is going to be a hunt in october, in Caldwell, ks to coincide with the trail drive.
Burdie is the force behind that hunt.
I mostly hunt around Wichita and south of there to Belle Plaine
just to let you all know. There will be a treasure hunt starting Oct. 10th in Caldwell, Ks.
