Places To Go Hunting For Treasure And Metal Detecting
Metal detecting, be it relic or treasure hunting, is appealing
whether as a work or a hobby. There are several ideal places
where we can go detecting to enjoy using our metal detector. It
might be on a beach, near a gold prospecting site, or in an area
that has many old relics and artifacts in it. But first, we need
to pay attention to the rules and regulations of where we would
like to go metal detecting.
Primarily, we have to start hunting in our own backyard, our
neighbors' backyard, our friends' backyard, the sidewalks and
the porches, the flower beds, and behind the trees. This would
be the start of our metal detecting career. What we can find in
these places depends on how old the house and/or land is. It
would be a lot of fun finding lots of memorabilia such as old
coins, relics, bottles, jewelries, lost things or maybe an
entire collection.
Another fine place to do metal detecting is in parks and
playgrounds. Our community parks, city parks, old parks, zoos,
picnic areas, city playgrounds, old playgrounds, sandboxes,
swings, campgrounds and old battlefields is where we could go to
look behind large trees, grassy areas, old trees, shady spots,
unpaved parking lots, spaces where lovers hide to get away from
the crowd, under park benches and pathways. It's possible to
find new coins, old coins, lost rings or earrings, wedding
bands, bracelets, watches, kids' trinkets, toys - all lost or
left behind.
Beaches and riverbanks are exciting sites for hunting and metal
detecting, too. Look in places such as old ferry launches, old
fishing spots, old swimming holes, and old bridges on the
riverbanks. You might find iron debris, broken potteries and
glassware which could be the best location to find older items
and perhaps even novelty coins, jewelries, watches, relics and
other possible collectibles. Go where people gather together
during the busy season, local beaches, town beaches, old
marinas, and ocean beaches are most likely the prime spot for
buttons, bullets, sinkers, Indian artifacts, old charms, and
ornaments.
In your local woods, you might look for foundations, cellar
holes, old cemeteries or graveyards, abandoned mausoleums and
fields such as old farm fields, tobacco fields, cotton fields,
cattle, sheep, or any farm field. These are good spots for metal
detector utilization. Don't forget to look on new paths, old
overgrown paths, search near the road, check on hiking trails,
old wagon roads, foundations, old cellar holes, and upturned
tombstones or go to the main entrance of the farm after a heavy
rain on the fields. If you hit on a coin, thoroughly search that
specific area to find coins, bottles, or relics, depending on
location.
Metal detecting is an exciting, adventurous, and fun way of
finding valuables or items of sentimental value to us. Using the
metal detector in places such as parks, beaches, woods,
playgrounds, fields, riverbanks, old cellars and graveyards,
even on our own backyards is a good way of bonding with
families, friends, and colleagues. It is a fascinating hobby,
too. Different places bring different collections, treasures,
and memories as long as we follow the proper code of ethics.
