Lets Dig Some Old Coins!

[gutzdigger]

If you are like me you are tired of hitting all the playgrounds and soccer fields for clads. I wanna dig some old stuff! What do you look for in a site? Which sites are best and how deep do you dig to get the old coins. I love digging relics but have never dug an old coin at one of these spots. I see a lot of oldies each month at our club meeting but i cant seem to dig any myself and our club members arent as open as I hoped to help. As always any coments are welcome and Happy Hunting!? ? ?Thanks GUTZ

Where do you live? I may be able to help with some ideas. City/State would help.

Old Battle fields are good places for relics & coins in TN

do some research on your area for a few!

Hey Gutz, if you want to find old coins and are sick of all the clad, detect at OLD sites like: old houses (pre 1900), old churches and their cemeterys, and cellar holes. OLD parks are also good places, but are usually hunted out. Normally, coins from around the 1950's are like 3-4 inches deep. Coins from around the 1900's are about 4-5 inches, and 1850 and older are like 5-7 inches deep. ? ? If you get a deep, faint signal and can't decide if you should dig it, DIG IT!!!!!!!!! ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Hope this helps, Matt.

Wow you are in a great area for relics from the War between the States.
You should get a map showing troop movements and camps from your local archives.

Shoot!! I wish i could hunt a civil war site. The only civil war around here is between my family and my inlaws.

Everyone in your family is a resource. Who has an older home or old field on their homesite? Make peace with your inlaws long enough to use their resources also. Might end up brokering a family trust! Be careful on the battlefields sites, make sure you're good to go on any before strating, sticking to private lands with troop camps, battle sites etc is the best bet. Have fun and get those goodies coming in!
