I see your a newer member here. Just curious, how do you search for new spots? I have been driving by old fields and houses for over a year - drooling - I have a Bounty Hunter that my wife got as a gift because she saw me sparking a real interest in the hobby. I refused to knock on doors or search fields with it because it is a really cruddy machine, sounds rude but it was a very nice gift and I have used the machine alot, now its time to upgrade
After joining this forum I learned about
Historic Map Works ,I'm not sure if you have used it before - but this website allows you to get into an archive of old maps that you type in, and you can overlay them onto the current google maps, then use a scroll bar on the right to change the opacity of the old map so you can see whats there now, and what used to be there. this is an awesome resource that ive been using.
