Top Five Places to Start Metal Detecting!

We all know parks, schools, and beaches are fantastic locations for metal detecting. Here's a list of the top 5 places you may NOT have thought about hunting:

metal detect in a field
#5 - Farmers' Fields
Farmers are usually willing to give permission to hunt their fields once the crop is off. Even though your finds will generally be less in quantity, they should yield higher quality. Many of the farm fields played host to Civil War battle activity, especially in the South, and East.
construction site metal detecting
#4 - Construction Sites
Anytime dirt is being moved around, it opens the opportunity for you to explore what may have been previously unreachable. Old houses and buildings that are being torn down are also great spots.
metal detect in a hole
#3 - Recheck the Hole
It's been said, the best place to find treasure is where it's been found before. You might be surprised at the number of coins or relics that are in the hole you just dug, so take a few minutes and recheck the entire hole, and the plug of dirt you've set aside. You might also consider using a pinpointer.
sidewalk metal detecting
#2 - The Sidewalk Strip
The grassy area between the sidewalk and the street is commonly overlooked. Many times, these areas have never been hunted, and have been walked past for years.
backyard metal detectors
#1 - Your Own Backyard
The number one misconception in metal detecting and treasure hunting is that there's nothing to find in your backyard. You don't need to travel to a far off, exotic location to find buried treasure - just go out into your yard. Keep in mind, wherever people have congregated, there's treasure to be found!
