Hi, I live in west rapid. Hall st.
I'm a metal detector hobbyist, treasure hunter, and hack archeologist.
I like to take the metal detector out to old mining sites, homesteads, camps, and ghost towns.

I'm an especially good stash cache finder. I usually find a stream and walk up and down stream looking for likely camping spots or flat spots where groups would stop and rest. Once I find a nice spot to camp, I look around and think "now, where can i hide my stash", then I go snoop around until I find something.

I'm considering forming a metal detector club or treasure hunting club in rapid. I want to look for buried hold-up money, stash, and other valuables that everybody buried to keep from being robbed.

Me and a few friends like to hang out early evening in the Family Thrift supermarket in Bakken Park. We have coffee and meet up at the end of every workday around 5 or 6.

If you live in rapid or the black hills, and you'd like to do a hunt, let me know. The more hands looking, the more finds you get.

I'm going to hunt from Mystic to Silver City, to Pactola lake next weekend. Along Castle and Rapid Creeks.

Try posting in Metal Detecting and Make A friends section on Gold Prospectors' forum Gold Prospectors Association of America Forum
Treasure Net TreasureNet and other forums like those.

Being in the Dakotas you'll have to work a little harder to find folks.

Good to see y'all getting out!

I believe Sheridan Lake is in Custer State Park. If it is, the Park Rangers might be able to help you.

uh

No. Sheridan Lake is right outside of Hill City. Nowhere near Custer State Park. I doubt Game Fish and Parks will be any help. U.S. forest service will give you the same story.

Sounds like a lot of fun; combing the wilds for treasures.

Might be awful cold this time of year, I suspect.
