Star and I just got back from a two week stay in Southern Illinois. We had a family reunion to attend so we tent camped at Rend Lake while we were there. Fishing was great, but except for the small swimming beach at the lake it was just too dry to metal detect. Rend is an Army Corp lake so you have to be careful how and where you hunt. We drove around a lot of the area and almost every little town down there has a park, some have several parks in them. It about drove us crazy hoping it would rain so we could detect at least a couple of the many parks but that did not happen. One of the first things we did when we got down south was to purchase a V3i for Star. We went to the swimming beach at the lake and the first good thing she found was a sterling ring. Not a bad first find with her new detector. We found quite a bit of clad and I found a toe ring there too. While we were down south we picked up some information on the Southern Indiana 2011 Treasure Fest seven day hunt. It runs seven days, July 25 through July 31, at the Starve Hollow State Recreation Area. We will bring the Indiana hunt information to the June meeting if anyone would like to view it. Daryl
