Mike in Fla,
I've been at this for over 5 years and found my first silver coin not even a month ago and now I'm on my 5th one. ?It's ALL about location (you have to know how to work the machine too, but that's kind of a given). ?I found out all the parks I was detecting were new, in a sense. ?They had only been around for about 35 years each and they were good sites for clad but not much else. ?I got really hooked on finding a good place so I actually joined the historical society and have pestered them like crazy looking for places to hunt. ?I read all the local history books I can get my hands on and always keep an eye out for more places to go. ?Check with your family if they grew up in your area, you'd be amazed about what they might know about where things used to be back in the day. ?The historical society has been, by far, the best source of information and they even have pictures of many of the places showing people at the proposed locations. ?Basically, if there were people there 100 years ago, there is money there regardless of what activity went on there. ?Geez I love gravity!!
Track down an old spot and hit it hard! ?Let us know what you find. ?If I can get one, you can too!!
Good luck Mike
