Anyone Detect in Aroostook County, Maine?

[AC1955]

Husband and I have a vacation home near Squapan Lake in northern Maine (3 hours north of Bangor). Does anyone know of any good detecting spots in Aroostook County? We can detect both water and land. Thanks for the help.

The Aroostook "War" took place there.

My mother lives in near Presque Isle, I've detected up that way a little and found some good stuff. Best find was a Habitant token I pulled out of her side yard. Loring AFB had a lot of guys there for a long time but I doubt they will let you detect there---base is closed but it is still government property. A lot of the camps around SquaPan are old, my uncle built his in the '50's, see if you can detect any of them. Also, I think the CCC used to have a camp around Haystack Mtn. Lots of old homes and even older farms. Check out the parks around Limestone. Cool thing is you will find Canadian as well, I found a 1913 George V dime and a large cent with Victoria on it (forget date). Careful in Aroostook State Park---I don't think they let you detect there. There is definitely lots of silver in the ground on and around the base, put in a little research and you'll find some good spots.
