Yep.Iron Patch said:The only time it probably ended up that way was my first year when I had sites right out my back door. It was never about trying to keep them to myself, I was just there every day so it soon got to the point where there wasn't that much to find. I also didn't really get how good it was .... and this is so stupid.... I was leaving them at times to go hunt at the park! The last 9 years or so I have never held back a site or idea no matter how good, thinking I would get there myself someday. I did make some pretty good finds that first year but the memories just don't seem as good having been alone. Well maybe good, but different.

I'm sure that most places we are talking about there is no let's say property owners. and there are places that the owner lets you hunt but he has so much land he don't know if some one else is even there. If you have a good place keep it to your self.nyiangelo said:People talk about getting burned all the time. What I don't understand is why don't you get it straight with the property owners first? Ask to be the only one. You hear people crying about others in there spot, but surely they can't just walk up and not get permission? (I'm sure some do.)

But there was a time when I was in Spain when I literally walked onto a Napoleonic battle site,
and started digging buttons and musket balls right away..
Since it was a long way from home, I talk to 2 of my friends that I hunted with at the time and took them there...
We found a bunch of stuff, then I found out that one of the guys started taking all his "friends"
there also, and within 2 years 40 people knew of the site...
When I went back after 2 years you could not hardly find scrap...
and we had taken unexploded cannon balls from this place.. (one of my friends said 40-50)
There were several nice buckles that came out of this place, tons of buttons, rifle parts.
I did not get much.
It made me angry so many people knew of my place and this is where they would all go.....
until after 5 years no one went because there was nothing being found...
Now I am very careful about real good spots I find and hold them only for me and my partner...
