8 HOURS, ANYWHERE IS THE USA, WITH YOUR METAL DETECTOR. WHERE WOULD YOU CHOOSE?

[Garbagebill]

If you were given 8 hours to take your metal detector ALONE anywhere in the USA, where would you choose? And why? Only one rule... It has to be OUTSIDE in the GROUND. (Not outside Fort Knox getting a reading from down in the basement) haha

North brother and south brother islands. East river NYC. Islands are off limits.

 

[cudamark]

Why are they off limits? What was on those islands that interests you?

 

[bjcatut]

Any construction site on Manhattan island, Philadelphia, or Boston. Also Lost Colony of Roanoke, Jamestown, St. Augustine, and Santa Fe historic site settlements.

I know, more of a wish list, but it's hard to chose just one.

Gettysburg or Custers last stand which I'm sure has been picked over. I already have been to Manassas battlefield.

I watched a show on Nat Geo where they did Custers last stand. They found a ton of casings and lead as well as personal items including a wedding band with the finger bone still in it.

I just went on a trip to hunt James & Dolly Madison's home. There is an area in back of the house that hasn't been hunted, as far as I know. Dolly had a lot of parties in the back yard. I would love to see some of them finds. They also have a civil war encampment not far from the mansion grounds.The Confederate soldiers set up camp there. I believe they are going to hunt that area this spring.Go to metal detecting mountpilier.com

I am not into cw relics, but I would imagine Andersonville GA would be a great, if not slightly creepy place to hunt. If I could I would tear up Leyden St. in Plymouth MA....that is the first street in town, the site of the original settlement, and then down to town brook, then over to Coles Hill, then across the street to the Rock, where I would scrounge all the clad in the sand. Fact is I did that as a kid, filled a 5 gal bucket full of coins at 3 am, couldn't lift it over the rail, dumped half, made my way home, almost made it till my Uncle the cop busted me and made me put it back. early TH fail.

 

[Talon]

A super popular beach on a resort island that has been deemed offlimits to detecting for years. Vacuum up some gold!

 

[l2hunt]

anywhere down south, would enjoy hunting the civil war relics!

 

[blackbeard81]

Custer Battlefield. There were skirmishes, yes, but there we ambushes too, not mapped at all, so there's more to be found, beyond the action around Custer - there was Reno's attachment...(is that Federal Land, too?)
