I'm still very new at treasure hunting. If anyone could give me any advice as to spots, locations, geography or landmarks I should be searching near, I'd greatly appreciate it!

Read all the history you can find of the area you want to hunt, study old maps , talk to the ole timers about where they use to hang out, that's a good start

Are you using a metal detector? Inorder to find stuff, you have to hunt where people have been for a long period of time, such as a farm or go to a place where large groups of people gather for a short period of time such as a park for a festival. The older the property the older the relics.
