Bounty Hunter Elite 2200
Primary Interest:
All Treasure Hunting
Ha Ha Ha it was fun! Went to a local lake with the arkansas river runnin by it. My wife and youngest step son were fishin and I finally got to try out my bounty hunter elite 2200. Darn thing does good I guess, I caant wait to try it again at a park or somethin and find my first coin. Even clad would be better than pull tabs and fishin weights. But I still had a great time.Unfortunately as soon as I got back to my wife and step son we had to go to the hospital because my wife had cut her hand cutting an apple and getting a bite at the same time. I felt horrible about that cause she did it about an hour before I made my way back to them. Four stiches and shes all good though. HH

Im in Pueblo CO there was an epic flood here in 1921 there was a pretty big loss of life and lots of buildings and businesses were desamated. Lots of great history.

I gotta work on turning my pictures to postable size.. My camera is too good and stores pictures in high res. And I'm not savy enough yet to figure out how to easily do it without photoshop or what.
..?
 

Hey DJ! I'm just north of you in Midway area (exit 119). I'm kind new to this too. Been wanting to check a train wreck area where there might be a chance of some good treasure. Maybe we could hook up and try it togeather?
