Quick river question?

[dasherhunting]

Our river behind town is low due to bridge work. Runs right through back of town. Along the edge there are dry high spots island like was wondering if it be worth detecting or the sediment deposited there would be to fresh and deep to bother wasting time. i know its never a waste of time but not sure itd be worth the effort.

Any where there have been people in the past should be a good spot! Remember that coins (and relics) tend to settle in the low spots, I would check any pockets in the bedrock, shoals, or anywhere things could be trapped.Good luck, and get out there !

Not really rocky around here more mucky than anything.

Ask some old timers if there were any old swimming holes on the river and if so then focus on them.

Good luck

Yep, get right to that. But be very careful cause that stuff can be like quicksand. You'll get stuck and quick. So take a friend or a cell phone. Goodluck out there. jgas

rivers tend to be trashy just keep at it if theres trash theres goodies the trash meens folks have been there good luck

 

[dasherhunting]

the spoon doesnt appear to have any writing yet it was fairly deep its copperish and black right now in color have to figure out a way to clean it.

I would try the slowest moving section of the river and look for an optimal spot. That way the old stuff is not as likely to have been washed away in floods. The spoon sounds old. I think you may have a good start.

Well back in the day rivers were more popular then they are today. We used them to wash our clothing, picnick by, swim in or use for power. So lots of spots on that river could have good potential. You should do some research and find out where these things may have been. Like someone said ask the old folk around town and stuff...

Keep @ it and HH!!
