Do any of the trappers on this forum metal detect,relic hunt or coin hunt as a hobby?Just curious,going to try my hand at coin hunting this summer.

Its fun and buy a decent detector.. do some research on collector websites and see what they recommend and also possibly Consumer rpts on line would be a help.. If you are looking for old stuff go to where creeks meet rivers ect and high ground there and thats where camps were made.. you will get the hand of it after awhile...

Rdfx I bought a detector&headphones,should be here today.I'm going over to our cabin on the Missouri River for 7 days of walleye fishing.Thought I'd practice around the old boat ramp and campgrounds.My friend told me I could use it to find trapsets if I didn't remember where I put them.I told him I wouldn't have to as the old catch circles and coyote sitting in the trap are a dead giveaway. :lol:

yoteo of the north ya best watch your bragging...the Red gods have a way of getting back at ya. And, when snow combines with drags the detector will help you determine if you need to go looking.

I've had a metal detector since 1976 but haven't had time to use it in recent years. I found a whole lot of old coins and a lot of newer money too. My best luck for old coins was in the playgrounds of old schools and old parks. I even found two $2.50 gold pieces lying side by side in an old park that was around since the 1800's. In the Spring when the frost pushes up the copins are barely below the surface even though they have been there for 100 years. . I tried the old lumber camps but had to dig through all sorts of metal, especially buckles from a million horse harnesses. Also, the curse of any place but a schoolyard or park in my area is that the ground everywhere is littered with 22 shells along with other cartridges. Maybe the newer detectors will disciminnate out brass without discriminating out silver but my older one would miss silver if brass was discriminated out. Good luck, hope you find some good things! :grin: Ace

Wacky You were right,got rained and blown out.Asa my detector is supposed to show up today.

RdFx · « **Reply #7 on:** May 30, 2006, 05:44:33 PM »

Keep us informed on what you find...

Wackyquacker · « **Reply #8 on:** May 31, 2006, 01:29:58 AM »

Well dah,,,he found that when it rains you get wet...that's why he went home. Man RdFx you need to get some more sleep, or dye your hair blonde so as we understand at a glance.

RdFx · « **Reply #9 on:** May 31, 2006, 01:58:25 AM »

Ha Wacky, im sure ol Yotero knows EXACTLY what i referred to. Problem with an OLD researcher like you is senilaty; Yotero and myself empathize with your problem most likely coming from infatuation with kitty spots in being in the dried up state of NM which im sure caused dehydration!! :-D

Wackyquacker · « **Reply #10 on:** May 31, 2006, 01:51:05 PM »

That, I have observed, is one of your biggest problems...assuming that is.

RdFx · « **Reply #11 on:** June 01, 2006, 01:27:21 PM »

Aha, you [assumed Wacky], not very scientific if i must say myself. Just think of Yotero could find a blacksmithed forged bvr trap or something along that line. THat would be neat or else a trade axe.... endless possiblities.

coyotero · « **Reply #12 on:** June 02, 2006, 11:18:19 AM »

Hey Wacky,I understand RDFX perfectly as we are one with the universe,caught a nice bunch of walleyes Wednesday,my detector gets put together at work tonite Rdfx.I'll keep you posted.

Wackyquacker · « **Reply #13 on:** June 02, 2006, 03:09:23 PM »

Just like you and RdFx for that matter, go fishing, don't invite me and rub it in. You just wait till next year, by then I'll have PIC posting figure out again and I'll send you some PICs of spots ...lots and lots and lots of spots. With friends like you guys a fellow doesn't need enemies.

RdFx · « **Reply #14 on:** June 02, 2006, 08:16:00 PM »

Remember my quote {your problem most likely coming from infatuation with kitty spots ] Well it has surfaced... i think Yotero and i could spare a few fresh fillets..........

Wackyquacker · « **Reply #15 on:** June 04, 2006, 02:43:51 AM »

Only if they are attached to the fish pulling on my line or being served to me by you, finely cooked and with a nice Chadoney.

RdFx · « **Reply #16 on:** June 04, 2006, 03:58:28 AM »

Smack, munch, munch, shucks Yotero these fillets are great, pass the red eye; swig-swig. Say did you save any fillets for Wacky? Whoops, aw darn it anyhow! {Yotero says} Darn these fresh fish fillets WERE so good i darn up and forgot of Wacky... oh well he can go to store and buy his own fish.... {To which RdFx replies} Geeze Yotero do you think he can find his way to the store thru all those kitty spots in his eyeballs?

coyotero · « **Reply #17 on:** June 04, 2006, 12:05:21 PM »

Sorry Guys but I'm have to leave for the lake on Thursday for another 8 days of walleye fishing,detectoring and scouting trapping locations.I'm picking up a new boat Thursday A.M. No Boggie you can trap beaver out of it!Ma found a new recipe for oven baked Walleye,it's great.

Wackyquacker · « **Reply #18 on:** June 04, 2006, 02:10:01 PM »

BAH HUMBUG to the both of you.

RdFx · « **Reply #19 on:** June 05, 2006, 02:48:59 AM »

Kitty spots must be getting bigger and Wacky is starting to use the sandy gulch in back for urinal...........

coyotero · « **Reply #20 on:** June 17, 2006, 03:33:11 AM »

RDFX
Bought a Lund 1660 Pro V with a 60 Merc tiller.Took her out Sunday.My father and I caught 10,17 to 21 inch walleyes in an hour and a half.Man are they fat.Been saving the walleye fat,sun rendering it.I think it shows real promise in mink,coon and cat lures.Haven't got to swing the detector yet,been too busy.Hey Wacky,smell my hands,that's beer battered walleye :lol:

Wackyquacker · « **Reply #21 on:** June 17, 2006, 06:42:00 AM »

In your ear! You're just plain mean!

coyotero · « **Reply #22 on:** June 18, 2006, 03:47:38 AM »

Wacky you are invited to the lake.I bought a mobile home on one of the bays on Sakakawea.It has 2 bedrooms.The rest of June and most of July are real good fishing.It slows down some in August then picks mid September to ice up.If you want to come in October we can run a couple coyote lines along the Missouri River breaks by boat.You should see the saddles in the ridges above the river and the game/cow trails that run down to the lake.Most of it is too rough for truck access from above.The coyotes are real nice,pale and well furred.I'm planning on getting a non resident trapping license and running a boat line.There's great mallard and Canada goose hunting about 4-5 miles from the trailer.As non residents we can't take bobcats though.I should have about 900-1000 gallons of waxed dirt ready and plenty of traps.Be warned I snore real bad.

RdFx · « **Reply #23 on:** June 18, 2006, 06:01:07 AM »

Okay Wacky time to quit your whinning like a yote pup and take Yotero on his invitation. Heck you can teach Yotero the basics of armydillo trapping.

Wackyquacker · « **Reply #24 on:** June 18, 2006, 12:25:44 PM »

Whay in the heck is coyotero still a non-resident? And can non-residents take coyotes before the big game seasons are over?

RdFx why don't you come along and skin for us? I'll bring my tent for you to use...it don't leak too bad.

Yotereo, are you coming to Blackfoot this coming weekend?

RdFx · « **Reply #25 on:** June 18, 2006, 03:34:29 PM »

sure i can skin for you Wacky as long as your footing gas bill to and from WI. Of course all those kitty spot accounts should have alot of interest by time fall trapping season comes around.. Oh yea i can cook too, wait till you taste my yote stew and burgers.. .

Wackyquacker · « **Reply #26 on:** June 18, 2006, 05:43:18 PM »

You got a deal you skin and cook Yotero and me will trap, shoot some of my kin and fish. I'll pay your gas bill and you pay mine.

RdFx · « **Reply #27 on:** June 18, 2006, 06:05:30 PM »

If i have to pay YOUR gas bill then the free skinning is off. Why with all the fur out there missing yr sets i might as well make a buck or two... Hey yotero how far you from Bozeman?

coyotero · « **Reply #28 on:** June 18, 2006, 07:50:31 PM »

Wacky I'm a Montana resident not North Dakota.I live 16 miles from the N.D. border and 22 miles from the Saskatchewan border. RDFX you can come too.You don't have to stay in Wacky's tent,I'll put the camper next to the trailer.I'll buy the boat gas and diesel fuel for the Dodge.Ma will cook.Wacky I won't be at the NTA Western,I bought my Dad a guided fishing trip on the reservior for Friday.The guy I booked the trip with is a retired ADC guy who is good friends with Gary Jepson.Man is this a small world.RDFX we can run up the Little Missouri and trap beaver if you like.Maybe Boggie can send use a pint or 2 of beaver lure to test :wink:

Bogmaster · « **Reply #29 on:** June 20, 2006, 05:17:16 AM »

My beaver lures,do not need testing,--- just application.
The 3 of you together, sounds more like a ---Larry,Moe, Curly thing.Let me know ,when you decide --who is who.
