Going out today Fort Sill/Lawton.
A friend from HS does it around the OK/KS border area where the Cherokee Strip Land Run started in 1893. He's shown me a few of those artifacts and has multiple boxes in his garage. Some junk, some really interesting.
I've been laid up lately but looking for a partner to go treasure hunt with.
I should be good to go next month.

Lets talk. I moved to OK recently and have only been out once. I cleaned the HOA park got $.37 will donate it to the church in the spring coin collection.
I have a Garret AT Pro. I bought it mainly for finding my lost cannon balls at the farm I shot at in Montana. Here are the results of my very first dig.
Still trying figure out fishing tackle out in the middle of a stubble field a long ways from any lake,
Are you a coin shooter or a relic hunter? Where the heck did you find a grenade fuse?
Where are you at, I am in Edmond. Maybe we can meet somewhere for coffee and talk.
There used to be a treasure hunting show on tv called 'Diggers' that I'd watch sometimes and I always thought that it would be fun to try.
I'm assuming that the two fellas in the show probably had top of the line ($$$) detectors plus each one had a small hand held pin point detector that they would stick in the hole to locate smaller objects that the larger unit had found.
I'm not looking to second mortgage the house but then again I'd like to have a descent mid priced to upper end detector and pointer......what brand names and models should I be looking at ?

I had a Levi's belt buckle just like that one back in the 70s.
Fishing tackle in the middle of the field could be the tackle box opened up like latch snagged on something and spilled all the goodies inside.
Tilling the ground will allow the tackle to move to different areas than where it was dropped so you could find it scattered in a large area or all in a pile.

My Uncle Carl used to do that. Uncle Carl would come visit us and always bring my Dad something that he had found with his detector. He went back to the South Pacific islands he was on during WW II and went to many of the places he had been during WWII. Uncle Carl found all kinds of war artifacts and lots of junk. He served in WWII, Korea and Viet Nam and retired as Chief Petty Officer of the USS Enterprise. He's passed on now 2 years ago. I remember his collections and his awesome sense of humor.
