Well, I'm just barely a month into the hobby, and to be quite honest, was/am exhausted from hunting the same 'ole "unrewarding" property(ies), (my backyard on just under 1/2 acre), and an over-grown field about 10 acres big. From my backyard, I did manage to pull out nearly $7.00 in clad and one 1948 Rosie. Not too shabby. Also,...a COOL piece,...a 1948 dog registration tag.
Fast-forward to yesterday; the town in which I live is "relatively new" (est. 1844), but the land which it encompasses has basically been inhabited since the Colonial days. Long story short, I decided to contact a church on the outskirts of town seeking permission to detect. The church (and it's property) are located in the oldest part of town, so if permission was to be granted, I figured I'd be one step ahead of the game. Sure enough, the Father of the church emailed me back and said, "NO PROBLEM!!" AWESOME!! And while the church itself isn't that old (construction started in 1940 but was halted because of the war; finished in '47), the church and it's land, (all ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTY ACRES) are in the "old" part of town. Translation? A TON of potential!!
What better news for a beginner than that?!?! I hope to head out there in just a little bit. Waiting for the Father to call me back, as I don't just want to "show up" unannounced. Wish me luck and of course,....I'll keep all of the fine TNet members updated.
