If you want silver and copper coins, go to the most overlooked area: curb strips aka tree lawns. Every town and city has them in residential and commercial. Start in commercial areas where employees walked to work in the early 1900’s as did school children.
Residential, go to Realtors.com, do a search for 1890, 1900 and 1920 homes. If curb strips present, avoid the cared for one. Plenty of unkept strips, always refill holes and keep trash to dispose later. If someone sends a cop to check you out show him the trash. If he wants to see the other pocket full of coins, got nothing to hide. Those strips fall under the city right of way.
When you pop your first wheat vent or silver coin, you will be hooked. I use a Bounty Hunter Lone Star Pro, it does everything a Simplex will do including adding a 4 inch sniper coil that Simplex does not carry. Feel free to add photos of curb strip fines in comments below.
