Looking for some local Detectorists to go metal detecting with(Southern Illinois

Hello everyone!! I am in Benton,IL. and I am looking for some fellow metal detectorists in my area that might want to go md'ing I always go alone and I have never went out witha group of detectorists and I think it would be fun.  like I said, I live in Benton so if you are in southern illinois pm' me and maybe we can get together and do some hunting. thanks.

Welcome.....Going out with others is a great way to enjoy this hobby more......

I'm up north as are a lot of other members.. We get together a lot as small groups... If your ever up in Chicago area always give a shout out ....

I know soon I will be making trips to the Peoria area if my son decides to go to college down there...

Post your finds here too...It's always great to see them...

[God bless our veterans! Thank you for your sacrifices!]

I agree with Bob.  We have a lot of fun when we get together & hunt!  There's lots of great hunters in your area, too!

My mom is originally from around West Frankfort, so I know where you're at.  There's lots of history down there for sure!  I miss the orchard - the best GD apples I ever had! (Golden Delicious)

Nice looking pooch!  HH!

I'm in Mt Vernon.  Drop me a PM sometime
