Research tool?

[57sauce]

My name is Matt, new to the hobby and to TN. I guess I got into the hobby at the wrong time now that there is 6" of snow on the ground. But I figured I have 6 months to think of were to go. I'm down in Rochester any thoughts on a good place to get your feet wet?

I also came across this sight http://www.forgottenmn.com/?region=index not a lot of towns listed and most Up north.

Any help appreciated
Matt

Matt:
Perhaps you should check out the local metal detecting club.

Zumbro Valley Treasure Hunters Club
Rochester, MN
They meet the 2nd Wednesday of the Month at 7:30 PM at Plummer House (across Hwy 52 from the Apache Mall) according to their site ad.

metal detecting is like fishing, learn how to use your equipment, find a promising site, and have patience, it's well worth the wait. have a good one, from a transplanted Minnesotan
