I'll be visiting my dad for a few days at Cave Springs, Virginia (suburb of Roanoke) in May on the occasion of his 90th birthday. He's lived there for the past 30 years but in the "suburbs" and doesn't know good hunting areas.
I've been doing the Southern California beaches for almost 2 years and have located some "profitable" landfill sites close to home. I enjoy finding the old stuff and especially older coins and jewelery. I'm not too keen on relics of the civil war as I'd feel bad about removing any historically relevant items away from Virginia.
I'd like to hook up with some local detectorists and possibly plan out a few hunts. I'm studying a 1950's topo map of the area and see that a lot of what's indicated as houses are missing off of Google Earth and Microsoft's Live Search Maps.
This will be my first time back East with my detector and I'm all excited!
