RAEntp 3 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Got permission to detect the fair grounds and thought I was "in relic heaven" as the fairgrounds were built in about '06 and have been in continous use ever since..... little did I know they had been letting MD ers in for several years in the days following the fair, but I have no idea what they have been using as I have been doing pretty good with my Silver uMax over a couple days making finds that have been there for years judging by the corrosion and patina of my finds.... But have been skunked as far as silver coins or wheaties.... so far : ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gold Nuggets 43 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Maybe those that have gone in ahead of you were just "cherry picking" the silver coins? I've been to several places that I think the same thing had happened....kinda disappointing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As a kid my dad and I used to have great luck under the bleachers and anywhere there was or used to be a wooden sidewalk, or a nice shade tree. I used to show livestock back in the day. My dad had just gotten the latest and greatest metal/coin detector back in the early 1970's and we'd always bring it whenever we went roping, rodeoing or to the various livestock shows and detect the grounds.

RAEntp 3 Posted May 6, 2014 Author Share Posted May 6, 2014 Yes this is the Pueblo Fairgrounds, and I haven't even gotten to the rodeo or livestock areas yet, have only covered 10%-20% of the common grassy areas...I tried in the very back where the old original horse stalls and showing areas were very first thing, but down across the front of the stalls it was hard as concrete and very few hits, so I moved to the grass....Still feel that the back areas have a much greater potential for older relics, buckles, spurs etc and even coins, it probably isn't as heavily Detected, if at all.So it appears I have a lot of exploring to do, just have to stay friendly with the Maintenance Crew, and maybe find out what their favorite beverage is .....
