Hi Hunters!
My interest was recently renewed for the Forrest Fenn treasure. I was checking it out about four years ago and lost interest since I could only search for it on G. Earth. Of course my recent thrill for the chase led me to other lost treasures, and of course this Website always comes up! I decided to join finally!
I’ve searched for a few lost treasures in N. California (Chico area is where I grew up). And done some basic gold panning. I probably have a couple grams total, so that tells you how serious I am about that! But I always have my pan and shovel in my truck.
I’m currently in Northern Virginia – about 30 miles west of DC. Next Spring I plan to move back to the west coast! I’m looking at Grants Pass or Bend, Oregon. So as far as my future treasure-hunting hobby goes, here are my main interests:
Gold panning and seeking lost treasures in Oregon, Northern California, and Baja California.
I’m also a snorkeler and scuba diver so I’ll be looking to purchase an underwater metal detector. Any advice on an affordable (less than $700) one would be great! But that’s actually one of the reasons I joined so I’ll search the 5 million posts first, hehe. I’m sure that topic has been covered =)
I’m very excited to be part of this community! And I hope I get a chance to meet some of you Oregonians once I get back out west!
