Southeast Colorado hunting

[Kimberlyykaye]

Has anyone been hunting on the southeast half of the state, and if you have did you dig up some good finds?

That area makes me drool. I would love to walk that Sante Fe trail. Any of those old houses have probably never seen a detector. Extra friendly people in that part of the word. If you hike into any remote canyons they are full of artifacts. I hunt around Trinidad occasionally. Here is a metate from that area!!! I'm sure the local museums would have lots of good information. Hope you get some good permissions and post some great finds. We used to go out to incredible sites on these huge ranches down there. Welcome to tnet, Good luck!!

That's a nice looking metrate. I actually grew up in that area less than 5 miles from the Santa Fe Trail, I was wondering how many people have been down there to detect. I can tell you they are a rare site in the area. I know of some great spots. A lot Native America history down that way also, so it would definitely be a fun hunt.

My uncle had a ranch along the trail by Hoehne. I detected there briefly. I am sure most of those sites would be untouched by detectors. That sure sounds fun. Message me any time ill be down in 3to4 hours That was such a well traveled major route with much older things. Happy hunting!

Will do! It was very well traveled area, anyone who has travelled even the highway is bound to notice the old homestead, schools, barns, mills, etc. Once you get off the highways there's even more around, and I doubt many would say no to detecting on their land.
