Howdy all,
Well the other thread is getting a bit long , so lets start with a new one.
I confirmed on the phone, with the Landowner, of the "STAGE STOP " site, that we can hunt it.
Heres the deal. As soon as he's done calving , I have to meet with him , and I have to have a witness, as to the fact that I am accepting full responsibility. That I am LIABLE.
He is not going to charge us , but " if we find a pot of gold , he wants half"
Concerns of his are,
WEED seeds: :from our vehicles ,on his ground. I suggested we could walk
in ,and maybe let 1 vehicle ferry people back and forth.
he said he has a way to do it,
Holes: : He doesnt want holes, that a cow or horse can trip in, so we
have to treat it like a park in town.
Grass: :Its pretty hard to grow out there, so he's concerned about
the damage, so we'll have to do plugs, like we would in a park
And , he asked , me , if I'd follow you all around , and sprinkle
a little grass seed in areas we dig. I agreed, and I would hope
You all would help, by doing this also. Grass seed is light .
Junk: : If we dig up a piece of junk, it has to go out. and if we see a
piece of wire, or junk on the ground, to please haul it out.
Basically , anything that could cut or trip up a cow/ horse / tire
I agreed to theses things, and I will assume the responsibility to make sure they are fulfilled.
If you all still want to do this, I guess you'll have to agree to follow suit.
I dont really want to do this guy wrong, when he is nice enough to let a group of people , that he doesnt even know, play in his pasture.
And I dont want to spend extra days of my time cleaning up.
He also agreed to us using his ground, for the Competition hunt.
I asked for either the first or second weekend of june, he agreed.
So thats set.
Now , the Forest Service, and camping out.
Originally, I asked to camp AND do the COMP, hunt. and was directed to the head Geologist of ALL areas. And was told NO.
I called the District in question again, and asked STRICLY, camping, one night, "whats the number? " I was told to call a guy tomorrow.
And I will.
otherwise, we could do as Montygarlic suggested , and split up. As there are numerous campgrounds in the area. and there are numerous "campsites" along the road into the campground.
I'm doing my best to keep us close, so we can have that BBQ.
(I found out , that Montygarlic actually has a secret recipe BBQ sauce, and its on the Market. He will probably bring some..)
Oh , last but not least, I talked to Tim from "Team ATC"
(They put out the "Extreme Metal Detecting Videos")
He said they would donate a few items for prizes, and if they arent off running around the country, they will be there.
He said they would help newb's with tips etc.
They are also carry some metal detectors and related gear, and if they cant make it, he said i could bring some stuff, in case someone needs a pro pointer or something.
We've got a bunch of OLD coins, for the hunt, Silver Dollars, Indian head pennies, Buff Nickels, V-Nickels, an old worn out standing liberty quarter?
a few "STEEL Wheaties 1943, and some older wheaties.
And there will be more i am hoping.
I also have a few ladys prizes, so if the wife wants to come along , we have a few prizes for them.
It should be FUN !!!!!!!!
its all coming together.
so we need to figure out which weekend ??????
the "first" or "second" weekend in june.
Or should we let that ride depending on weather?
OK WHEW!!!!! I'm done for now.
