On behalf of all Minnesotan's I just want to say thank you SeabeeRon. I personally have driven over that bridge hundreds of times and was last on it less than a week ago. I realize it could have just as easily been me or my family there when this tragedy happened. My prayers also go out to all those families that have been effected by this disaster.
Minnesota hunters?

Sounds like fun, my time is limited also. Mostly to weekends.
SeeBeeRon: Thanks so much. I used to live in Minneapolis, less than a mile from that bridge and have literaly been over it thousands of times. I still work in the Twin Cities and was at work when that happened. I work for Metro Transit and they notified us by radio right away after the collapse. I was not in that part of the city when it happened. I was lucky.

Hello All:
Just joined this forum although I have had it bookmarked for some time. I've been on two larger forums....... www.dfxonly.com (DFXDeadhead) and www.treasurenet.com (DFXDude) for two to three years. Been detecting since 2002 and started 6th year on May 6th, 2007. I have 2 DFX's and have standard, 5.3 eclipse, Bigfoot, Hotfoot and 12" Super coils. I've traveled to the two DFX get togethers in Ohio the last two years..... i.e. Peewee and McKinley Boy Scout camps. Found coins in 314 Zip codes and 22 states. I haven't seen another MD'er here in Renville County so I have it pretty much to myself. I hunt mostly public parks, playgrounds, schools and beaches with an occasional private property with permission. Been averaging about 3,000 coins per year, but only at 1,500 for 2007. A little over 16,000 since I started. Oldest coin is 1883 IH. I've only hunted with 2 Minnesota MD'ers, one from Sartell and another from Albert Lea. Have had contact with another one from Cottonwood and Mankato areas, but havent gotten together yet. I met another MD'er from Lastrup. You may be aware of it, but there is a Minnesota forum on www.treasurenet.com for Minnesota MD'ers. Happy Hunting all !

Welcome to this forum Butch! Even though I also post on DFXonly.com I consider this one home. Lots of great people here and I'm glad you finally climbed aboard. With all the recent Minnesota hunters we should try and put a Minnesota hunt together sometime. Keep us posted on your finds!

hello people. i think im gonna try to attend that club meeting, i think nov 20 or something, tue. at 6:30-7 to start?? kinda a bad time for me as i work early, but will attend, dont know about joining.
well i posted a week ago on several places got no response, deleted posts. no biggie.
im a single guy who had too much free time and not enough exercise. This MD thing is working for me so far, having fun
if you are interested in hunting in tandem, perhaps this club mtg might be a good place to greet and exchange info. Or this site works too.
im mostly into coins, jewelry, relics, in that order. im not a coin collecter really, im just a cheap bastard who would pick up a penny anyway.

I have thought about joining the Gopher State club but the meetings are held on the third tuesday of the month in which I already have prior obligations on those nights. It is also a little bit of a drive for me and don't know if I can justify it to the wife to drive all that way. Maybe finding a park half way would work out sometime. Too bad the season is winding down already.
Hey gear box, Nice to see another Minnesotan on the forum. I was the only one for the longest time but now we have a handful. I just went back and read your intro post again and saw where you mentioned you were from Minnesota. By the way congrats on the nice old silver from the park. Better get back there soon as our season is almost done.

Hey Gearbox,
I live in Waterville, not too far from you. Just read the thread and if you are up for a dual hunt, we could get together (and freeze). Had a fun hunt today in the wind, and would be up for another one tomorrow (11/4) somewhere in our local area. Check out the "Stories and Pictures of FInds" area.
PM me if you are interested...

Time to get Minnesotans out again.
I'm located in the North Minneapolis suburbs area. If anyone wants to schedule a dual hunt get together let me know.
I'm fairly new to the hobby but am having fun getting out.
Let me know, lets see what we can find.
