[QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 8206606, member: 105098"]i think the key really is the research to finding good spots to detect at. like my city goes back to 1920, but actually starts developing in 1926 with about 2500 residents scattered about at that time. no wars fought, kind of dull historywise, but finding the oldest properties/places people gathered for social events, shopping areas, what's been paved over, what's vacant, anything significant along the Florida East Coast Railway commercewise? lots to dig into to selectively choose places to detect. For me it was "detect the beach". bottle caps, cans, and pocket change every time, and I never got around to having a plan before I abandoned detecting for good, I liked fishing more for something to do with my free time if I was gonna be at the beach. But yeah, do the research, select some sites you want to look in, figure out what you might be looking for and date range of the material, and it will probably be more fruitful than blindly detecting like I did. I hear old local swimming holes can be productive, here, it's pretty much "the beach" lol[/QUOTE]
