Vladivostok (formerly Stalingrad) and it's surrounding area, including the Volga. Imagine the WWII Russian and German memorabilia you'd find. Maybe the east coast from Georgia to New York (I know, that's a LOT of coastline)....do a little wreck diving.

The White House Grounds, then every Protected 1700's Spanish Mission in the South Texas Area. ;D
I couldn't even imagine the goodies in the ground around the White House. The Spanish Missions would have some incredible relics!

I'm with you Jeff, but thinking along a different path if I had to stay in small town USA it think maybe around every capitol builing and every old court house. Those building have been around for a very long time with the same old dirt. Over seas, I would have to go to Rome, every nation under it's power had to pay tribute around the time of Christ.

Hmmm...St. Augustine comes to mind. Then around Boston, New York City, Philadelphia, exactly where would require research. Can I get someone to peel back the first foot or so?

Everywhere there is a Historical Society sign posted. All the older federal and state park lands.

Fort Morgan Alabama! About 13 years ago I hunted it for about 2 minutes. I jumped out of the car and into the woods and started swinging the detector. I quickly got a signal and dug a piece of cannonball.I then jumped back in my car and drove off. I was thrilled but I never had the nerve to try again. I would not attempt it now but I still dream about it.

Jbow, that wishing well that you are looking for is in St. Agustine, Florida.

HollowPointRed, there is lots of "junk" to find around Tombstone. Not lots of really good stuff. At least I haven't found anything really good. You'll have better luck in one of about five ghost towns around Tombstone.

As for where I would hunt, I am going with Rich to the Spanish Missions, then with Crutch to Rome, Italy, they Jeff and I are going to go to Gettysburg, then I am going to drag him to Bull Run and Chickamauga! ;D
