Do we have any Metal Detecting Hobbyist on the forum ?
If so,do you have any links for hunting places within the state ?

Helen,
my brother used to take his metal detector everywhere. I loved it too.

Found this website for you. Hope it helps.

That is truely an interesting link Mrs. Slotz. It wasn't me who started this thread, but rather BigDeel. He chose the same picture to go with his profile as I have, so I understand the confusion. I'm going to be changing mine shortly so....no problem.

Along the line of this topic, I have seen a few TV specials recently where people are increasing their interest in panning for Gold in California due to the increased price per ounce.

As I watched those stories, they showed people sifting by hand from creek beds for the gold and I just moaned. Someone with more patience than me would be required for that job. They deserve every dollar they are able to mine.

Wow, Sorry about that Helen, I just looked at the pic and thought it was you. If you need help changing your picture, I can surely help. I change mine all the time. Must have something to do with my A.D.D.
I think that there is a place in Indiana where you can pan for gold. My brother went there a few times with a friend of his. I should try to find out where it is. It would be very exciting to pan for gold!!

I will get my avatar changed. I'm new and did not notice it was used.
Thank you for the link Mrs.Slots. I had not seen that one yet.

I would be interested in knowing what the success rate is in Indiana for panning? The shows that I have watched primarily featured California and said that only about 18% - 20% of the anticipated gold has been mined. Now how they come to those conclusions....I really do not know?

Don't worry BigDeel...I knew you were a male...just from your postings.

We simply happened to like the same pictures for the fall time.

Also, I want to say 'Welcome to the FencePost'. I have been a member for about 1 yr and I really do enjoy the exchange of thoughts here.

Looks like Indiana has a few diamonds too!
