ShintoSunrise Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Hey all, Eric here; Los Angeles native but long-time transplant to the DC metro area. Got back into detecting recently with an equinox 600 after a 20 year hiatus from the hobby. I have an upcoming move to the Seattle/Bellevue area in spring; anyone on this forum know how the hunting is over there? In the interim, any old hands out here in NoVa? I know an interesting spot I've been digging, but it is a challenging iron and trash infested environment that I would love to see a pro take a crack at. Cheers! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe D. Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Hello Eric, Welcome! Sounds like an interesting area! How far is that from Culpepper? Hope the move goes well! There should be some interesting hunting in historic parts of the Seattle area! You can tell us what find out there! Good luck!👍👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShintoSunrise Posted February 5, 2021 Author Share Posted February 5, 2021 Hey all, I'm currently hunting in Ashburn, so maybe what, an hour or so from Culpeper? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also be aware of your swing speed and coverage, And you will be able to pick the good from the bad. Hope all goes well with the move, And I'm looking forward to your finds and your questions. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard of gold in Virginia and I know a bit of the history, but my understanding is that it is mostly in flake form and nuggets are extremely rare. Not sure if my 600 is up to the task! I'm mostly looking for relics and jewelry, though if course won't say no to interesting coins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
