Gene, A photo like that needs more info!
Was it taken from a plane?
What detector are you using?

Good Luck

Nice find Gene. I wouldn't swear to it, but I think I recognize that spot from all our travels in Idaho.

that photo was taken from the top of the hill, the place is located in rire, idaho. used to be called something else at one time, that part anyways, then they changed it to rire over the years. this place is located about 8-10 miles east above rire, here are some more pics and a little information:

this photo is a overlook of the farm, accross the river, in the top right hand corner area, on that land at one point a steam engine ran accross there.

Nice scenic shot!

Congrats on the silver - it sure took me a lot longer to find my first silver item!

CROCKofCOINS

Thank you Gene. That is more like it.
Take your time on a place like that, many years of stuff to find.

Good Luck

I just got it off a Google map. I just got lucky on finding the photo site.

If you have Google Earth you can look it up.

Congrats gene2393!!
It took me 3 months to get my first silver.
Nice pictures also. Looks like a lot of fun land to cover.

I do know where that is. I was thinking it was along I-15 north of Idaho Falls, but I see its along US 26. My family and I travel quite a bit and we've been by there. Plus, I spent my summers as a teenager on my uncle's dairy in Idaho not far from there.

Good Luck Gene.
You will like the Prizm II. Take time to learn how to pinpoint the target.
If your going to hunt in grass...you should save some money to get a pin pointer probe.
They cost from $40.00 to $170.00 new.

I have been testing a new Vibra-Probe for the last two weeks. I think I like it :-)
I have the White's Bullseye 1 pinpointer
I have the Sun ray in line DX1 pinpointer
I have the Wizard Vib-Probe pinpointer

The point is...get a pinpointer as soon as you can ;-)
