Anyone From Louisiana?

[FinalLastDays]

Hi. I am new to this group and am wondering if anyone here is from Louisiana. I live in the Acadiana area. I recently purchased an Ace 250 and equipped it with a Night Hunter. My wife and I tried out the Ace 250 last week in our backyard... we found 4 pennies and lots of trash. Last night I took my daughter to the city park and we dug up 2 quarters and 9 pennies. Tons of mosquitos and lots of Off w/Deet! There is much that I am going to learn with the detector, ... I am starting to recognize the sound when it detects coins. This group seems to be really great. I have been reading posts here for a few days, it seems lots of you do very well with your metal detectors. Hopefully one day I will be just as good a hunter!

Hi Stephan, welcome to TQ. I also have the ACE 250 as so do many others on here,keep praticing and you will learn the different tones, and you'll be finding lots of great finds soon!

Not in Louisianna, but am only about 1 hour away from the TEXAS-LOUISIANNA STATE LINE. Went to Fort Polk in October to pick up my son who is in the U.S. ARMY INFANTRY. This is an 8 hour round trip. Should be many treasures to be found in your state. Next time hopefully I will have time to enjoy some treasure hunting. AND GOOD LUCK.....

Hi Joe, I am familiar with Fort Polk... I had a friend who lived in Leesville, which is the same area as Fort Polk. I used to drive about 3 hours to get to that area to see her. I am still hoping to find many treasures here in my state. I have been finding some good items this past week... I just hope my luck continues!!! I will be in your state at the end of December... going to my brother-in-laws for Christmas in Plano.

Hi there LaRoper,
I've been out your way a few times. Not to Metal Detect however. I've been a member here on TQ for about 6 months. I MD mostly local parks in my area. Have been turned down quite a few times when asked to detect on old home sites and CW camp sites. Hopefully my luck will change in the weeks ahead! I am saving up on a new detector, and am having trouble which one to get - my choices are a White's DFX or Minelab's Explorer SE.

Don't give up on the land owners. Most are very helpful. I like to just talk a while. Loads of information there. I haven't done much detecting in your area, Eunice a little. I have a few leads around Iota, for and old hot springs resort.
As for the detector, I have an whites Eagle Spectrum. Its old but works well. I also have a Minelab Sov Elite. Goes realy deep. My suggestion is the Explorer SE. Minelab just puts out a great product.
If you are down this way let me know, I set you on some good places.

Maybe we could hook up one day when I am off work.

hey,
I'm not too far from you. I live in South BR. I agree... this is a tough area to detect in. I have managed a few good finds though. If you're ever in town, let me know and we'll see what we can find.

Hey FLD,
Sorry, I've been out for a while.
Sure, if you are down one weekend or day let me know and we will hook up. Just a little warning, most sights I hunt are in the woods and some are thick with brush. Bring backpack with water and eats. Oh, and some "DEEPWOODS OFF" LOL
