Detecting in Frankfort, KY

[Rambo0425]

Anyone have any good old sites to meet up at and dig in Frankfort, KY. I’m still somewhat new to the hobby, only been doing it for about a year or so. Have not yet gone anywhere to ask permission to dig yet, a little nervous to do it my first time. I would enjoy meeting up for a dig.

Ok Rambo,........

You want some advise from someone with 40 years experience?

Do these things,.........

1) Always be clean and presentable.

2) Don't drive up in a clapped out pile with a screw driver for an ignition key.

3) Be polite and use clean language.

4) Use common ground when you can, (you see a NRA sticker, mention you're a member)

5) Beg, borrow, or steal, a little girl. Have her smile and act excited.
Instruct her that if they say "No", she should start crying and act very upset.

6) Do you're very best "zero impact" probing and digging.

7)Talk about your grandparents, one permission can lead to a second and third.
(hopefully at an even older location at their grandma's house)

8) Always ask old people if they remember any swimming holes from back in the day.
(or where the carnival used to come each year, where other events were held)

9) Always show everything you found and offer to share your finds.

10) Always say thank you, and exchange contact info.
(one of their friends loses a ring, you find it, you're golden, more permissions)

11) Don't drive off without the little girl.

12) Little girl gets you on the property, buy her ice cream and slip her a couple of bucks.

13) Some salty old pain in the neck won't play ball, tears don't work,.......
Come back with a bottle of Jack Daniels and some peach cobbler.
(If that doesn't work strike him on the head with the bottle and keep his dog busy
with the peach cobbler)

So,.... there you have it.

See, there is not very much difference between Kentucky and Louisiana.


Oh, thank you for the support during, "The War Of Northern Aggression"

We'll have to do that again some time.
