1. Do lots of research
2. Ask permission
3. Happy Hunting.

Remember all the land has history and you never know what items are in your own yard. Ask friends and neighbors about hunting their property.

Dont forget to carefully dig then fill and dress the holes, leaving minimal damage. And haul out the trash you dig or any trash you stumble upon.

maybe you could research where the old portage routes and river crossings were, many times there is a modern bridge right where a river crossing was and in Montana below high water mark is public land, here is a lost treasure story for that area also

All around Great Falls has good areas to search. Example: The old Fort Benton area; The old mining ghost towns around Neihart area; The Lewistown area. Just a few.
