<p>[QUOTE=&quot;canudigit, post: 24723424, member: 111193&quot;]I don&#039;t get out with my detector that often anymore due to double carpel tunnel. This is a result of digging for decades like a rabid woodchuck through rocky or hard clay soil and tree roots to unearth that &#039;good signal&#039;!&nbsp; No regrets mind you - plenty of amazing finds from the colonial era thru modern fine jewelry.&nbsp; I live in a very historic area and many of my great early period finds came from research found in town libraries. Old maps and other early local records found in the archives can give many clues to locations of old fair grounds, picnic areas, schools, camps, battlegrounds, boarding houses, gin mills and so on.&nbsp; Another good tip is tightly skirting the inner parameters near the trunk of the biggest oldest trees in any early gathering areas.&nbsp; In the hot summer naturally people gathered under trees for shade in parks and picnic areas. Good luck and enjoy this great hobby![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
