Subject: Park Forest Strewnfield report I just got back from hunting Park Forest and
Olympia fields. Two days of hunting mostly forested areas and no new finds.
The forests are 95% covered with leaves. It is
easier to work through the forests though, considering the lack of growth
compared to spring and summer.
I used a metal detector through most of the
forests. If anyone plans on hunting the forests with a metal detector, plan on
it going off every few yards as there is alot of trash buried below the soil.
And alot of times when the detector detected metal
I couldn't dig deep enough because alot of the ground is frozen still. Which is
really pointless anyways considering the meteorites shouldnt be buried in
soil.
Unfortunately a metal detector is necessary ,
unless you plan on checking under every leaf. Its the same if you are trying to
Identify impact pits. The Forest is wall to wall leaves.
I visited with a couple of locals that I know who
still hunt, and they havent found any new pieces since last summer.
Oh well, if anyone has plans to hunt the forests,
any new finds will be sheer luck.
