The people I bought my property from left behind a metal detector hanging in the garage, so I have one! I've never even taken it down from the wall to look at it, though.

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.
Have you tried "friendly metal detectors" forum ?

I hope you have had a chance to get out and play with it! Metal detecting is loads of fun!

Yes, it is quite popular. Keep in mind you can not do it everywhere. Obviously if you are going to do it on private property you need permission. The National Forests are OK but some of the land is run by the BLM and they have some areas that they do not allow it. You can get maps from the Forest Service and BLM along with their rules as to what you can do. Try not to cause problems for others who do metal detecting.
