Detecting Steve here......There is an old beach resort right down the road about 1/4 mile from my house.It opened in the late 40's,has been in and out of receivership for last couple years.Just last week,I seen a sign there,with the 'for sale' sign listing a name and number...I E mailed him,explaining I am a detectorist,and would like to secure permission to detect the grounds.I was expecting 'NOPE!',but...He answered me 'SURE,IT MIGHT BE INTERESTING,FINDING OUT WHAT's in there!!!'....8-)Place goes back to the late 1940's,it is eight acres,with cottages dating to the 50's standing untouched,2 firepits,horseshoes,volleyball etc...He also told me 'Back in those days,they had a trash pit they threw their trash in,'mostly bottles''!!!!...:laughing7:But,then he said 'PLEASE,NO BIG HOLES!',so I told him I will stay away from the trash dump,as holes will have to be dug to retrieve the bottles...I may start detecting there Saturday,I will keep you all updated....
 

Steve,

Sound like a good site.....odds are the beach and area between the beach and cottages should have some goodies....good luck.
