More curb silver

I'll drive miles to detect the middle of nowhere and then find all this within a block of my house.

Hey Georgivs, how do you choose which curb strips to detect?
And are they just the typical curb strips?
And does anyone ever say anything to you about property ownership?

I haven’t ever detected curb strips, but I’m tempted!

Oh, congrats on your finds!

I've always liked curb strips, and I understand that they fall under "Public property", HOWEVER, if it is in front of a private home, I view it part of their front yard, because some are not taken care of at all, nonetheless, all they see is someone lurking around their front yard, perhaps "prowling" their car parked out there. Why cause a problem. Other places, the home owner puts a lot of work into maintaining their parking strip, and might take issue to someone detecting there in their "lawn", I get it. Having said all that, I really have always liked those strips, sometimes not much, other times? well...you just never know.

In my town there are older curbs lined with granite blocks, I try to detect along those. In many spots along the main road the strip is over 6 feet wide and there were many older houses (most are now businesses).

I've never had anyone say anything to me about ownership on the curbs. I actually called the local PD and asked, they directed me to the department of public works (technically their property) and they said it was ok as long as I'm not digging more than 12". I would recommend doing the same just so if you have any busy bodies give you a hard time you can tell them you have permission from the city.

I've only had anyone say anything to me in a smaller public park and it was in front of their house. I was like, although I have the right to be here I'll respect your request and stop digging here.

I also avoid any space that has obviously been landscaped, with the exception of certain kinds of lawns in front of businesses which are really easy to plug well. Additionally, I don't dig if it's too dry and the grass wouldn't have a chance to recover.

As always, pack out your trash and do your best to leave no trace.

always like how silver looks next to greenie coins, nice hunt yeah micro focusing on small patches of old ground can lead you to treasure closer to home (been hitting little wooded areas behind stripmalls and doing ok) good luck out there.
