I live in Lakewood. Have been lurking for several years, detecting for 25 or so years. Twice retired. I enjoy coinshooting, prospecting, woodworking (designer firewood, doll house furniture and "stuff") and fishing. I have owned a 3" dredge and a lot of Fisher metal detectors. My current goal is 6000 coins for the year. I have over 2000 so far this year. I currently have 3 sluice boxes and a pile of pans and classifiers. If anyone wants to get together for some detecting or panning for gold, I am free a lot! My wife and I spent time in Arizona in March, I looking for nuggets, and she picking up rocks. The weather was perfect but no nuggets. Oh well, the weather was still great.
