1) Ive always thought it would be amazing to detect the parks of the East Village in Manhattan, Its one of the first areas to be settled by Europeans in the United States and continuously occupied by a huge ever shifting mass of humanity. I don't know how practical it would be to even try.

2) The Texas barrier Island of North Padre........ been to South Padre many times, found great stuff, (not a lot) . MD's are tolerated there. The area north is a huge state park that comprises the United States's absolute last frontier of unmolested remote coastline. There is a tremendous amount of history associated with this region of which the vast majority is unpublished. The ranger service that patrols North Padre is isolated and militant...... Ill tell you my third if someone asks me........ What are yours.?

The White House Lawn would be my number one. Oak Island would be number two. And number three would be North Padre Island as well.

I never understood the proliferation of treasure tails associated with Oak Island. This place has been publicized far more then any other I know of.
Generations of stories pertaining to unfruitful searches yet the legend persists.

At the level of the general public, nothing is ever as it is publicized.

We will never know the stories of the discovery or final disposition pertaining to the vast majority of treasure found.
 

#1: William Faulkner's birth house. I live just a few miles from it.

#2: Any house built before 1880.

#3: Colonial cellar or foundation.

I'm a simple person...

What? No Playboy Mansion? I used to think that anything built before 1880 surely would be declared historic, or built over by now. But I've learned this is not the case. Galveston Texas is full of crumbling one hundred year old victorians and many more servants quarters type buildings..... They are everywhere, It was the New York of the South, but in the 50's and 60's once the Port of Houston and other Ports fully prospered, most all its residents moved. It is a strange place in that it feels that what ever happened there, happened already. Nevertheless it is Houston's (3rd most populated US city) beach and in the summer it is very polar. The Island has converted to a tourism fed economy, It has experienced a renasance of sorts, but not really. Some properties are very expensive, some not so much. There would be no problem detecting dozens of old estates there. They are everywhere and the owners are nowhere in sight.

A "clubhouse" in the area my family is from.
Stories be told my late grandfather used to skip school and go there as a boy and "gamble" with the old men of the time playing horseshoes and other outdoor games. Many reunions and events have been held there for generations.
Sadly I now live 8hrs away...someday.

I just spent most of July and August hunting my absolute personal best.... Most of the streets have been modernized widened and repaved. There still is one unfinished stretch left, but I just can't imagine matching the success I had in the first two weeks.
 

For me:
1. The Somme

2. Monmouth Battlefield..Looks like people beat me to it.

3. Fort Nonsense/Jockey Hollow/Wick Farm/Ford Mansion. .all linked
