Im in SW Wa, I would be down for a hunt!

49er · Jan 19, 2009

Put me down for the hunt. Hunt on this side or wet side? Think wet side would be better for folks who cannot make it over the mtn. What type of hunt? I have some old and new coins, willing to donate for hunt but up to group.

Sounds like fun, I'm willing to travel to the dry side. I need to get rid of some moss anyways. :icon_sunny:

Besides I want to hit some of those honey holes that Paul has been hording. :icon_biggrin:

Keep in touch

You are right on nothing but pull tabs over here Paul. Wish we had all the luck some folks are having over on the wet side. Huh DetectorFreak!!!

juju · Jan 21, 2009

Count me in. Detectorfreak will probably ride with me.

Count me in! As long as its during time I have off. I will let you know paul. I start vacation around March 24-31. I Have 4 days off from work and only work thursday, friday, and saturday. Please work around that schedule if you can. I will be riding up with JuJu.

We should do it in that 100 year old park you were talking about! Not a seeded hunt though. Those are just my thoughts.

Paul in WA · Jan 22, 2009

There is a chance the ground will still be frozen solid in March. Some years it is, and some it isn't. I think there will be an early thaw this year judging by the weather so far......but I am by no means a weather man. April may be more realistic.

There are a couple very old parks here. One is (and always has been) the staging area for the Apple Blossom parade since the early 1900's.

waseeker · Jan 22, 2009

I'd like to join ya'll as well.

49er · Jan 25, 2009

Paul, you having hunt here in valley or over on the wet side?

You know I'm up for it. What about the town of Ruby? Was one of the wildest towns in its day.

Ray in CA · Jan 26, 2009

Let's go!

How about town of Liberty on Hwy. 97;

Trinity up on Hwy 202 (way up). Old gold mining town. Has anyone been up here yet?

Kilika · Jan 26, 2009

YEAH! I'd love to go to the park where they stage the Apple Blossom Parade!

Ruby would be cool too, but I thought I read that was private property now? Maybe I'm getting Ruby confused with some other ghost town?

Hey, I'll go where ever you guys want... just say when.

I go to liberty every year. What isn' t private property, is under active mining claim. Tough for one guy to detect lt, let alone as a group.

let me get some pics together to post here & see what strikes you guys. Liberty is not really a detecting place like JuJu said. if you guys want to do a liberty outting, we would be better off gold prospecting, which could be fun ( I have a 4 inch dredge). There are numerous ghost towns that are accessable. I will try to get some pics up here tonight.
