<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jim C (Mich), post: 262439, member: 3092&quot;]Its all about what you are after.&nbsp; I love old coins.&nbsp; So I put myself in areas where people gathered back in the day.&nbsp;&nbsp; Parks that have been around a long time, old one room school sites, old church sites,&nbsp; old home sites are my favorite because those are some of the last virgin sites around.&nbsp;&nbsp; The other mentioned sites such as parks, schools, and church lots have more than likely been detected by others but no one finds em all.&nbsp; As I have learned how to listen to what the detector is telling me over the years I have gone back to these sites again and again and still find one or two goodies.&nbsp; Especially if the spots are large like a fairground spot or park.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; One example is a park that saw lots of people at the turn of the century.&nbsp; When I first bought a detector back in 1998 I went to this park for 3 years before I started finding older coins.&nbsp; I had a mid range detector then.&nbsp; A whites QXT.&nbsp; After I upgraded to a better detector and with my previous experience detecting&nbsp; the old coins started to pop up at least one or two every trip.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The main thing to successful&nbsp; detecting is location plus knowing what the detector is telling you.&nbsp; Its such a fun hobby.&nbsp; You need patience though.&nbsp; &nbsp; Also, most old coins are in the 5 inch and deeper range.&nbsp; If your detector will not go that deep than you won&#039;t find em.&nbsp;&nbsp; Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
