Any suggestions for me??

I know I am about to ask for alot. But, I hope someone will help my friend and I. We have been detecting about a year now. We have not had any luck in finding anything more than a late 1800 home site. It produced a post civil war button, lea & pearin bottle top, and a brass bell. We have tried many spots and never have found any old coins or civil war artifacts. We are needing some guidance in the mobile/baldwin county area that we might get permission to hunt, and find something interesting. We would love to just dig a simple bullet or an old coin. We just don't seem to know where to go. If no one will help, I understand. If someone though might have some insight for us, we would greatly appreciatte it. Thank you for all yalls help and knowledge.

Regards
Dennis

There was alot of CW action in this area.
Here is a really good site to search for correspondence during the CW in any given place:

Do alot of research and you will start finding places to search by the tons.
