anyone hunt around those uprooted trees

[cw0909]

we havent had any really bad storms here for awhile,that would uproot a tree
but the last month and a 1/2,weve seen quite a few, now that the rain has
stopped for awhile,im going into the wood at some local pks,and hunt around
those uprooted trees,yesterday i asked 2 home owners,if i could hunt,they
said no a saftey issue the tree was still there,i tried to get them to commit
to a hunt once the tree was removed,they were kinda ugh IDK, some of the
trees are 100yr+ oaks,and cotton wood, trees hold caches sometimes maybe
ill get lucky and find one

Don't know why there would be a safety issue. They probably didn't want you detecting on their property at all. I come across downed trees quite often out in the woods and never felt unsafe around them. I have found bottles at a few downed trees.

uprooted trees are a good source for old coins, jewelry, metallic artifacts, and definitely a probable place for caches. You bring up just one more instance of treasure hiding places....

I wouldn't bother too much unless they're what we call "landmark trees". These are trees that stand out from the crowd kinda. The old oak in the middle of a field..the tree on top of the hill where there's a great view...a lone tree within shooting distance of a home..etc.
