Trying to put together Spring hunt in Mid-Missouri

I would prefer not to have a seeded hunt as well. I would attend a hunt though if you had one. Mastereagle would probably come too. I speak for him since his wife is unavailable to do so. :icon_jokercolor:

we might be interested i prefer relic/old hunts, seeded makes you look too hard for something planted. i like finding stuff" not planted" . by then wife may used my prism V and i may already have another detector. could be fun to meet up with old friends and some new ones....gregg
 

Seeded hunt....uhhh NO!!
Natural, unseeded, relic hunt with a reasonable fee....YES!!
I'll walk all day to find a button....it dont matter!
It would be nice to meet up with some familiar faces.
Heck...lol...maybe they will have a cow-chip throwing contest....I'm ready baby!! 8)

Re: Trying to put together Spring hunt in STL Missouri

Hi All ,

Announcing the Valley Mines MO - Treasure Hunt and Meet - plus Dowsing Workshop !
Saturday and Sunday April 18th and 19th the following weekend raindate.

Geodowser here, long time member and posting newbie .
I am putting together on short term notice, a spring hunt,
that will work, i feel with members wants and needs.

No Seeding - Good Historic Site - Low Cost entry - Camping

I have permission and access to a 3500 AC Mining Ghost town.
This is one of the original settlements in Missouri founded by the French.

The site is less than 1 hr south of STL MO

The entire town is in tact and with marked foundations ....
and there are cabin and old store sites back in the woods marked to a degree as well.
Bring your 4 wheel Drive - Four wheeler - ATVs - horses - mules whatever u want
to get around on site .

Heres the pitch .

A weekend [sat - sun ] of virgin treasure hunting in an old mining ghost town.
The original log cabin , Barn and Paymasters shack are still intact. All other
town buildings , stores, homesites , post office, are marked .
There is a hstoric museum located in the 1700's log cabin homesite.

Trails on the 3500 ac are marked and also have potential sites.
There is a lake and an artesian spring and creeks onsite.
Rustic or Primitive Camping availabel and Campers are ok.
Nearby Motels for the timid or comfort oriented.

$25 for Th'ing days [ stay in motel ] $35 With camping , $45 with camper for the weekend,
Friday nigiht Arrival ok but you are on your own . There is a store and Gas Sation just
up the street on the main road / intersection in town [ small thats all there is ]

An optional Dowsing for Treasure workshop on Saturday or Sunday $25
I have been Dowsng for Water and Treasure for 25 years and would like
to share my skills before i kick the bucket lol .

To keep things in scale and to perserve the site and finds I am going to
try to keep it at the first 25 people that respond....but will consider more
if the interest is there. Let me know ASAP

I am new at posting so i give permision freely to repost this to a new
Topic and or Category where it will do the most good.

This is also a fundraiser for a good cause to support and assist the fledgling museum onsite and to
help pay the taxes so this land remains open to other treasure hunters
, hunters and outdoor adventure seekers.

I am open to suggestions and comments, and seeking one experienced Th'er and Treasure Neyter
that can help organize onsite and online, fees waived, and seaonal TH,ing pass for the site .

For further information and or paypal reservations email [email protected] remove m
First Come First Serve - But will accomodate as needed. Its On !

I will ad images as i am able --- http://valleymines.com
 

I might be interested, but it just depends if I can get up that way the weekend you are planning it...
Put me down as a "possible attendee"

Judging by your post,I assume this area/town has been open with permission for detecting for quite some time? I agree 3500 acres is a very large domain.

Well yes and no , it has been private property for a long time .... it has seen little traffic in that regard according to the caretaker.
In the 3500 acres, the town and a few camps /stores are in concentrated to a degree areas.... its not difficult to focus and hunt,
but there are the options to go off on a trail and find sites "outside" of the original hamlet.
