hey gldhntr,
went buy the area and there was a construction company there. I had asked to look around but they would not allow it because of the equipment...... left them a card in case they might let me in on a later date...
free2detect,
had my stuff confiscated at padre but got it back, had to get an attorney involved... Padre is not a safe place to hunt unless you know the area well... they wait for people like us to come there
