Here's one site to get started:
Everybody has, or should have, a favorite place to go metal detecting. I stumbled onto mine in January '08, and have been hitting it at least weekly ever since. There's no cellar hole or any other overt signs left of this colonial/early American house site, just the iron beds. At first, I would dig a copper or two and many buttons with every outing, but now it's gotten to the point where I'm feeling good if I can pull one non-ferrous item out of the ground in a trip. This site has produced a George Washington Inaugural button, seven War of 1812 buttons, one pillar half real, 15 coppers and a crude counterfeit 4 reale-size coin with milled edges. The youngest coin I've dug at this site is an 1809 half cent, and there is almost zero modern trash to be found. A dream site, for sure.
Thanks for looking.
