Kavehnj, that's why I haven't given an answer, still thinking. But I still think it would be like tombstone or the ok corral any old west site. It would be amazing to go back in time and have a metal detector in 1850.

Assuming I would be left alone to hunt......Central Park in New York City on a clear, calm, late spring day, 72 degrees, two days after a good rain, circa 1935.

If you were given 8 hours to take your metal detector ALONE anywhere in the USA, where would you choose? And why? Only one rule... It has to be OUTSIDE in the GROUND. (Not outside Fort Knox getting a reading from down in the basement) haha

it would Upset many, Even though your question Suggests Fantasy Answers.

The ledges just below the rim of the Grand Canyon. Tourists have been tossing good luck coins over the edge for over a century.

The lawn of the state capitol in Tallahassee.

That way I could show them all the neat stuff I found and when they looked back at the lawn they would see no holes. Just cleaner than when it was when I started.

Then maybe they would enact nicer legislation towards our hobby.

Anywhere there's a large pirate's chest of gold & jewels that is within my detectors depth range, or in front of a very large vein of gold, can we have a backhoe too? Or in one of the caves that contains a ton of ancient gold and artifacts ... Too many choices! Not enough time.....is this taxable?
