I'm new to the hobby, and constantly trying to find new grounds to hunt. I am fortunate to live in an area that, despite the current economy, is still growing (fastest growing county in NC, and in the top 25 or so in the country) My newest way to find sites is using Google Maps to locate land that is being developed. That's easy to spot hear because of the red clay that is so hard to dig in. It shows up very well at an eye elevation of about twenty thousand feet. I then use the historical imagery slider bar to go back to previous years (back as far as 1993) to see what the land looked like before. When I zoom in, often I will find houses or farms that have been torn down. Also, Google Earth has just recently updated their imagery to Apr. of this year. It sure is clear. Sorry I bored you.
