    Hi from Oklahoma!

    Hi, I am new to metal detecting, but I am definitely hooked. I live in Shawnee, OK and would love to meet other dirt-fishers in the area.

    Welcome from southern Nevada.

    I like Oklahoma. I used to do a lot of business in Oklahoma City and spent a hundred years in Lawton one summer.
    I've traveled a long way, and many of the roads weren't paved.

    I hunt wherever I can. Unfortunately, that's mainly parks, schools and my own yard right now...I just got my new detector (Tek Delta 4000) so I get to hunt those spots again!

    Hey nosdoogm!

    Welcome from a fellow Okie. I'm 2-3 hours North of Shawnee. I've been hunting for about 5 years but have really gotten hooked lately. There are some great places in Oklahoma. It just takes some work to find them. I find myself running off the road every time I spot an old house. Hunting in 95 degree weather with the ground as hard as concrete is a little tough but it's still better than being at work.
    It's a rush evey time You dig up something cool that has been hidden for a hundred years. Have fun and enjoy digging.

    On days like these I take a big container of ice water and douse bandana, wrap around my neck. Cools you down real nice... It gets awful hot & muggy here in KY, but I plan to MD all summer
