We're going to be Metal Detecting the area in and around the North Fork of the Russian Creek and the North Fork of the Salmon River. Evidence points to the earliest human occupation of the region dating somewhere between 6,000 and 8,500 years ago. Walk back in time with your metal detectors and experience history like never before! Metal Detection Specialist Ben Castricone, Ph.D. Archology/Geology will be onsite with us! Ben will be conducting onsite training at the camp as well as traveling with us to Finley Camp!
