The best place in America for metal detecting?

[CaptainCoil]

If you could have access to metal detect at any site in America, What would your choice be? What would you hope to find?

 

[DFX DAVE in M.D.]

Thats a great question, I visited The Statue Of Liberty a few years ago and was dreaming of detecting at Ellis Island. Ellis Island had old housing on it, and you would get a good variety of coins, I would hope, lol.

I can't imagine anything being any better than this horseshoe horde I'm sitting on here in Middle TN. But then again maybe I've dug to many and have horseshoeitis... (mental disease).

The White House grounds.

Harvard College was founded in 1636. To search that entire property unfettered and unhassled by officials and cops would probably produce some epic finds.

If I could go back in time, I'd go back 40 years and hunt the crap out of Revere Beach, which was America's first public beach, est. 1896. I'd be in heaven. Can you imagine what someone like Casper would find there? Wow. Just, wow.

You might not find anything there.

That is simple. It is Virginia

Anywhere I happen to be standing with my F5.

Any area on my state capitol grounds.I bet i could find a lot of historic things there.

Doesn't anybody give a damn about finding horseshoes from our Nations Founders? There all behind my home within a 1.5 mile wagon trail. I guess I'm cursed being a 1 man army digging up our Nations horseshoes from our past leaders!!!!

Gotta be plenty of stashed jars along that trail, never leave it in the wagon at night.

Unfretted access to Victorio Peak with plenty of explosives and heavy excavation equipment.

My hometown of Plymouth MA.... Anywhere from the house I grew up in, to my neighbors, all along the waterfront and downtown.... makes me sick to think of all the goodies I am missing out on

Fort Ticonderoga ..The history there is unbelievable,the question shouldnt be what would you find but,when would you find it.

In my neck of the woods it would be Andersonville prison.

The Lake @ Elephant Butte Lake New Mexico it's off limits.

 

[Moresound]

Best place is anywhere in New England.

RvPrepper , Do you know is Elephant Butte Lake designated as a state park ? If so that may explain it being off limits . I'm sorry to
hear that (I lived in NM. for almost 40 years ) more and more places are becoming inaccessible.
