Annual AD Hunt

Any place i can get to, I will travel .......Or i have some sweet spots here, If anyone is interested.. Always looking to make new friends,, :happydance01: I held a forum hunt most every year since i started forumming, and would be more than happy to host another. With my new friends.. :peace:
 
Angie is right... we did talk about it a little while back.

If memory serves correctly, one of the moderators obtained permission for a group hunt on the White House lawn. The best part is the American Detectorist corporation was going to pay all travel/living expenses for their members to get there and hunt for the week. rofl

But seriously, I think an idea was bounced around a little about having a certain day picked and people getting out together in their areas and posting their finds for the day.
 
April fools day is on a friday, I will have one all throughout fri sat and sun, If anyone wants in on a Massachusetts hunt. :thinkingabout: I'm just below Boston..
 
Howdy Folks!
You know what... considering we have AD mods scatted around the country, each of them could host an AD hunt in their particular stomping grounds. i.e., We have a mod in the northeast, and one could be held by that mod in that area. We have a mod in Colorado, and he could organize one in that area/region. If we have a mod on the west coast, they could also arrange a gathering in their area. I don't know where all the mods live, espcially considering I ain't entirely sure who all are mods yet. But if they each held a hunt in their own area/region, on the same day and roughly the same time, that could make it possible for most folks on the forum to attend one without driving 2,000 miles (in my case) to arrive in the northeast. I'd travel to Fort Collins in about an hour or so, and bang, join a hunt here in Colorado.

Just an idea that I hoped might provide another alternative.

Great idea Mel! We have an annual Northern Colorado group hunt every year. May be this could be a place to start.

Just thinking the same thing Mel. Everyone can't travel long distances, but if they could travel shorter ones it would reach more members that way. Now if some Moderators can't do a hunt, what is stopping a bunch of members from just doing their own group hunt, in areas that we as Moderators / Administrators can't travel too? It would be nice to get AD members to do mini hunts and would probably be easier to find areas to hunt with a smaller group. I would love to see 5-10 people get together as an AD hunt and meet each other and share info. Those pictures would be priceless thumbsup01

I'd be willing to step up if Jack can't arrange something and kick up a hunt down here in the Denver metro area somewhere. I know some parks that permit us to do group hunts for our local MD club, and figure we could enjoy an outing as a group, but it won't be all that soon. We got snow on the ground. Might be a great thing to do for spring or summer.

I'd think it might be cool to do the thing like political action groups do house parties. Folks meet up at a designated location, and have at it. Something to consider, to be sure.

I think that Mel's suggestion of regional hunts is the way to go. It would involve a lot more people, and reduce the amount of travelling, as well as time, required to participate. If gas prices begin heading toward new highs, as many economists are predicting, travel distances might become a serious limitation for some people. Regional hunts would be a win-win situation for just about everybody.
