K & M Discovery Team

I'd like to welcome all the fine members of the K&M Discovery Team here to Jimmy's MD Blog.

"The origin of the K & M Discovery Team actually began Labor day weekend 2009 when a few guys from the friendly metal detecting forum made some plans to hunt together. This group of guys lived in Kansas, Oklahoma and Missouri and they all met in Clinton, Missouri that year for a hunt. In 2010 some of the same guys made plans to have yet another group hunt, this time in Sedalia, Missouri. These guys involved more friendly metal detecting forum members from the Missouri Hunters social group and the Kansas Hunters social group. A decision was made that year for our second annual hunt to hold a t-shirt design contest on the forum and call our event the Mo-Kan Hot Treasure Hunt. We later found out, the name was "taken" only after our event and contest was over and done with.

We came up with an idea to bring all of our treasure hunting friends together to create the K & M Discovery Team. With that idea in mind, we took the K and the O and then the M from Missouri, Oklahoma, Kansas and developed those letters into our logo and team name. We have since become known as a specialized group of your average everyday treasure hunters. A team made up of guys and gals, husbands and wives, friends and family members. We have also chosen not to charge anyone a membership fee to join the team.

That is how we became known as the "K & M Discovery Team." We do our best to, not only get together for our annual hunts, but to meet up with members for other hunts throughout the detecting season. As a team we will be detecting sites that have taken a lot of research and special permission just to get onto. These sites usually require walking long distances to and from and for the most part, they don't have facilities to accommodate you when nature calls.

The K & M Discovery Team holds their annual Diggin' It With Friends treasure hunt for all members of the forum in our area. We try our best to find a location that is central to as many of the forum and team members as possible and with all the creature comforts of home. Our annual event is the time when we can all get together for a day of hunting and socializing and have the chance to put a face with a name. This is a great time to strengthen friendships and make new ones. We give away prizes and hold a picnic of some kind at our events. We would like all team members to contribute whatever you can with making this annual event happen. Help us make this (always free) event grow!"

I'm more than happy to have you guys on the site, and just as happy to be a member... see you all at this year's hunt!
