Absolutely! I drive through Placer Co everyday to go to work. My schedule is pretty hectic, too, but Im sure we could meet somewhere sometime...
Out of curiosity, do you get hassled at all for detecting in your area? In Grass Valley and Nevada City no one seems to care but getting permissions is difficult. Ive been hitting Roseville (have MD permit) and Rocklin parks lately with good clad numbers but thats about it...
