Relic Hunting for Dummies

[BamaBill]

Since I'm having to puzzle out this arcane art of relic hunting myself, it occurred to me to ask, if you were mentoring a newbie with your wealth of experience, what tips would you be passing along? Like how do you look at a piece of ground and figure out where to start? How best to handle hard ground or roots? At what point do you figure its time to move on when hunting an already hard hit ground? The kinds of things that experience tells you how to handle and that perhaps someone more experienced, helped you with when starting out.

It only takes a few minutes to make a pass across a vacant lot or field and dig several good signals.That will give you an ideal as to what might have occured on that property in the past.If you find relics or coins, you have a good site to dig all signals or if all you dig is trash you know to move on.I've found several civil war sites by doing this.DBULL
