Where and what do you do .....

..... If you have run out of new places to hunt?

 

[airscapes]

Go back to one of my other many hobbies!
Just can not imagine running out of places to hunt.. even my front yard that has been hit many times changes after a rain..
Considering the coil on most MDs is less that 1 square foot, the field of a concentric is only a couple of inches at dept.. it is hard to imagine covering every single square inch of any site no matter how small to the max depth of the coil.. Also there is masking and silent masking.. if you have not removed ALL the trash from a site to see what is masked under it, it is still a viable site with possible good targets.. Just sayin..

A new machine can often breath some life into an old site.

 

[releventchair]

Always a new place. Just need to locate site owners. Research.

I haven't done my yard yet, but I have lots of in-laws with farms. A hundred years or more old! Can you imagine the harness bits and roofing nails I could find!

1- Do the research to find new sites. There are many lifetimes of site's out there.

2- Switch to cache hunting where you use your brain more than your detector and the rewards are far greater.

Well I can solve this problem (it's easy) actually. Buy my home for sale now next to me here in TN. on this ridge top. I'll show you enough ground to MD that you couldn't possibly cover it all in a lifetime. I've found some horseshoes, mini balls, chain links, shotgun head stamps and some horseshoes, chain links, old wagon bolts and some horseshoes, shotgun head stamps and chain links and a few horseshoes. And I've barely even started to search. My buddy from East TN. (Huntsman53) Frank was just amazed!!!!

I've always thought that these local Metal Detecting clubs were created by guys who had ran out of places to hunt and want to bring in new members so they can hunt their sites.

 

[mlayers]

hit the liebuary and start searching fro new places

 

[Ocean7]

find old houses and start asking those owners to hunt their properties. Look for old farms with old farm houses. Offer some kind of split if they say 'No' or don't give a direct answer.

If I ran out of hunting spots, I would spend more time shopping for curtains and color-coordinated accents for the guest bathroom.

I did not know you could run out of places to hunt …...

LMAO!

Using old maps, Google earth, and Historic Arial Photos, I have cataloged at least a hundred places I want to hunt.

Even if I limit it to places in deep woods on public land, there are still many dozens of places.

I mark each of them with GPS coordinates so I know exactly when I'm on point.

I couldn't imagine running out of places to hunt.

Personally I would continue hunting my old places that have had good results .Try approaching your old place's in different way's than you normally start,instead of starting in the front, start in the back for example.Maybe slow down and listen for deeper "slight" sounds.'That' is one of the cold truth's of the sport.We can't dig it twice.Even a loaded virgin place is eventually gonna run out,but that's not to say something wasn't missed.Some new places will come along!

[Moresound]

I do have places that I keep going back to and still find old coins and relics.

But new places are like having a new girl friend .....
Wink, wink - nudge, nudge. Know what I mean?

 

[Dave Rishar]

I can't really wrap my head around this. Assuming that I stuck with public places (parks, schools, etc.), and I only stayed within my county, AND I covered the "dead" ground in the middle of ballfields, I'd be busy for the rest of my life. This is assuming 3-6 hour hunts on Saturdays and Sundays, and the occasional quick hunt during the week. Add in permission sites and I don't even know what to say. My decisions on what to hunt are based on what I think will produce, not what is left. As these are public places, they will replenish themselves to a degree.

Note: I'm not looking for old silver. There's none of that left in the public spaces. Jewelry suits me just fine.

 

[mouseman60]

I guess you could go down to all the churches, schools, when driving some where take note to the woods and other places beaches,river, poud, lakes, grandmothers house, cousins,friends, the local bar, and think of what ever else. I tried good luck.
