<p>[QUOTE="Jim C (Mich), post: 229810, member: 3092"]Old home sites are the best places to go. With permission of course. I'm sure you know at least a couple people with homes dating back a ways. The front yards of thoses homes will have at least one old coin in the dirt for ya. One room school house sites. Old church lots. Old parks. Anywhere where people gathered back in the day. Half the fun of detecting is the research. </p><p> As far as detectors go I would buy a good mid range detector in the $300-$400 range. Whites, Fisher, other top model brand names. Ya need a digger, a pinpointer is a huge help but you may want to buy one of those after you find out if you really like detecting. They are like a mini hand held detector that helps you locate the item in the hole once ya start diggin. </p><p> You need to learn what your detector is telling you and that only comes by diggin and listening. About 30 hours with a detector and you should have a pretty good handle on what the thing is telling you. </p><p> Thats about all for now... I have been rambling enough. Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
