Tough day

Spent most of the day prospecting for a place to hunt , drove close to 300 miles, Sunday drive. $:-\$ Did manage to get out and stretch my legs for a while , found a couple places of interest and this sign. Who ever shot at it was shooting right in to town :dontknow:

. Thought it was an interesting welcome :tongue3:

. Here's my haul :laughing9:

What if you're just jogging?

Seems like the town is pretty well locked up. I didn't see anything about detectorists so get the big equipment out and strip mine the place!

Hey Rusted I know what you are talking about being from Nodak myself, you can really rack up the miles. There are so many abandoned farm houses but they can be a pain to hunt as either the vegetation has overtaken them or there is so much trash from teenagers partying around them. Not only that but most people who lived on those farms back in the day didnt have much money to speak of so you wont find much in terms of money. You might find a penny here or there but mostly junk. Ive had some luck around the old churches. What kind of places do you like to hunt?

why didnt they include no visitors allowed also ?

Well you can probably take that place off the list to hunt. If they don't let anyone in to do anything there probably isn't anything to find, lol.

Good ole Glen Ullin... I lived there back in the late 70's. We were building the Antelope & Coyote plants.
We rented a house, and it was quite the party crew... most of that time is a blur. Anyway, if you ever get
back there, there is a fairly old, large park on the west end of town. It's always been a big party spot for
the city, so you have to wade through the carpet of pull tabs and bottle tops, but there is good stuff to
find there.

I am new to detecting and have only had a chance to hit a couple spots in town and trying to find a couple old places to hunt, I've managed a little clad in a few parks and ball diamonds. Now that I've gotten bitten and have the bug, I'm told the area I'm trying to hunt has been gone over pretty good quite a few years ago. I'm hoping to dig up what they missed

. My thoughts are the same , what little money the old folks had was held onto pretty tightly, Trade and barter was very big in small towns around here I'm sure. Did not know there were many detectors in the area as I've not seen any in 20 some years. North Dakota is known to be a good place to party

, nothing to do for 9 months of winter but sit around and drink beer :laughing9:

. Ranks like 2nd or something in amount of beer consumed per ca pita, and have a lot of underage teens that drink quite heavily $:-\$ . But all in all a great place to live , hunt, and fish.
