I'm in Greenwood. I have been detecting in my area for a few years with little success thought I still enjoy it. My neighbor and a co-worker also are in the hobby and I detect with them occasionally.
I just hunted an abandoned house that was given to the City of Greenwood. The house was built in 1920 but 3 of us looking found nothing but trash and modern coins. Some of the coolest things I have found in the area are square head nails and a full brass 12g shot gun shell casing...these are from the 1800s and were found in the middle of a field on Jame A Reed conservation area.
My-coworker lives in an old house in Lone Jack and found some 1800s dimes this spring with his new Ace 350 so naturally I am jealous!
Anyway, if I find somewhere to hunt, I'll give you a shout.
