I am in the very early stages of securing permission for hunting an historic site in Sussex County. It might take a few months until things are ironed out so this post is really a ping to see who might be interested in a summertime hunt. All finds would need to be turned over to the committee responsible for the site but I suspect you would be able to get them tagged with your name if they end up on display in a museum. Can't say any more right now because I don't want to disrupt the process. If you are a forum member and are interested respond here. As I make progress, I will update this thread with more info.
 

I'd be interesting in digging with you. Good luck with working out the permissions.
 

Hey Badmonkey, I'm in Morris county and would love to participate in a Summer hunt. Please keep us informed. Good luck!
 

Cool. I will update as i know more.
 

I pinged the guys working on getting a lease on the site yesterday. It's still an active project but will still take some time to work out. Once they have a lease they will need to secure liability insurance before anyone can go there.
 

Cool. Keeping my fingers and toes crossed that this all comes through and the hunt's allowed.

Hi, I was just wondering if you had any updates? Thank you
 

Not yet. It is still alive though.
 

PM me details, I have experience .
 

Soon as this excruciatingly slow process in done I will PM those that are interested.
 

Cool. Keeping my fingers crossed that this comes through.
 

Hi BadMonkey -

Please forgive my reviving an old thread, but I just joined the forum yesterday and started looking first in the NJ Folder, where I saw this.

Did anything ultimately come of this hunt? I live near Vernon and would be very eager to join an endeavor like this in the future, if one should come up again.

All the best,

Tom
 

I just came across this thread and I was wondering if there was ever any activity with this hunt. I would be interested in learning if anything was found or if anyone was interested in looking into locations for this summer. I am in the Califon area in North Hunterdon county.

I don't believe anything ever happened with this hunt. I chimed in originally (I'm in Morris County), but never heard anything more about it.
I'm still interested in some spring and summer searching. I don't have any specific locations in mind, though.
