DOWSING: Hoping for some help finding metal detecting locations
Hello all, I've been a visitor to treasurenet for many years, but I've never posted. Next week I'm visiting a property that I get to go to a couple times a year and was hoping for some help locating some good spots to detect. The property is over 2,000 acres so quite large. I've located a couple old homesteads dating to the mid 19th century, but I've heard stories of there being even more that were never mapped. There is also supposedly a cave on the property that was dynamited shut in 1911 that I've searched for many times. The property is just so large it would take awhile to cover everything. Any help would be greatly appreciated I'm an amateur detector and enjoy relic hunting and coin shooting so I appreciate any help. Thank you all.
Pictures 1-2: is a zoomed out picture of all the property I have access to detect.
Picture 3: is the section of land that the cave was supposedly on that had the entrance blown. There are also a couple old home sites in this picture.
Pictures 4-7: are of one of the homesteads that I've dated to the 1870s and the fields that surrounded the home. Picture six is zoomed in where the home and barn sat.
Picture 8: is in the back of the property and I've found very little information on this land. The only thing I know is that in the 1800's a stagecoach road ran somewhere Through this picture according to old documents.
Picture 9: is an old school house dating to 1880's.
Picture 10: is an old farm stead dating to mid 1800's.
