That is with Illinois. It is a definite fact that I will be moving to Northern Va, sometime probably late Aug or early Sept. I have very much enjoyed hunting with many of you as well as the several years of your postings. I do still want to get out some between now and then. I have not really gotten out since the FP ban. I enjoy woods the most. I don't like hunting city parks alone and I don't like the beaches I used to hit now that parking has gotten jacked up. Hope to get out with a few of you prior to my final departure out of this state. I'll probably post some of my better VA finds here once I get the lay of the land out there.
 

Could be Just the beginning I was out working in Orange VA couple of weeks ago a guy at the shop i went to showed me some of his local finds. Looks like you'll be close to some real historic areas

I grew up in N Va. When I was a kid I would check out the excavations for new houses. I found about a dozen minnie balls over the years. I wonder what I would have found with a metal detector.
 

Best wishes to you. You will have to learn a whole new spectrum of sounds and go for CW and colonial items! May you dig many large cents, half cents, and eagle buttons out there!
 

Best of luck with your new life style...( Father to be ).
It has been fun detecting with you and fun doing the social events too.
We'll keep in touch via FB.

Now your talking about some good hunt grounds . " you lucky dog " can't wait to see what goodies you post..
 

Never got a chance to hunt or meet with you but I wish you the best. You are going to a great historical area and will find many great colonial coins. I am jealous! I wish you many years of happy hunting. Looking forward to your posts. Don't forget us. Take care.

The end is near for all of us Jon, the weekend!

I know you've got a full plate with all you've got going but just pick a day and some of us will be glad to make some time for a ciao-chow-hunt! Or would it be chow-hunt-ciao? Uh, hunt-chow-ciao!
 

Good luck in VA. Jon! Won't be long before you post some great finds from there.
