Any spots in or near Hingham?

[capt. sparrow]

I am headed down to the in-laws for Easter and was wondering if anyone knew of anyplace in or around Hingham to hunt for an hour of two. I think there is an old ammunution station there but I might have the kids so that might be sketchy. Thinking more along the lines of cellar holes. Don't have alot of time for research so I thought I'd ask.

I will be in Hingham for the next several days. Any suggestions on where to hunt? According to the rules for Bear Cove Park, metal detecting is not permitted. Was thinking of going to Nantasket beach.

I live in Hull and grew up in Hingham. I would love to know where these sites are so I can give it a try. I don't have any large cents yet and would love add a few to my collection. Any help on where to hunt around this area would be much appreciated. Good luck!

No metal detecting allowed at Bare Cove Park in Hingham, MA...I got kicked out the first time I went there!

Be careful guys!

Try the other side of the Weymouth Back River " Great Esker Park" . We went there after being told Not to detect at Bare Cove Park..

Good luck!
