The big treasure area is actually on the east coast around Sebastian, Florida. This area is actually known as the Treasure Coast.

 

Still haven't found any treasure yet but won't give up hope.I'm betting I'll spot something shiny while swimming one day and well the rest is history.

 

You are so correct on this. Searching is certainly a big part no matter how or where you do it.

 

348 silvers, that just about covers the cost of batteries?
Well done.
I found a 1921 merc at an old historical house that a friend was renting.
Not much other silver, just clad.
I don't get out detecting for coins much.

 

What a recovery! You've got to be one of the most successful people Ive seen. That's a lot of hunting. Have only foud a lot of clad around my parts. No silver yet. Dense population areas have to be much better opportunities. I've searched some prime ground and have to wonder if it hadn't already been searched.

 

In order to become successful at it, in my opinion, you have to do research and a lot of it. Look online for old maps (older the better). Compare them and fill in the old areas of the town your searching
with a pencil. Look for sites no longer standing. Old cellar holes like we have here in New England are the best! I don't know how old your town is but anything Pre-1950's are my favorite.
My oldest coins are a 1733, 1753 and 1754 King George 2 Half Penny. There all in my Media.
Sorry, not my intention to hijack.

 

@No_Ragrets
Sharing this old thread of mine..
I have many more since this thread. Probably over 400 silver finds. So that you can have an idea of my silver finds.

 

Just read up on all this, and it only makes me want to start detecting even more! We just had to drop $10k on a vet bill, so any hobby-related expenses are going to be minimal for the near future, unfortunately.

What kind of detector and pinpointer do you have?

 

I will tag you on my latest thread on my new and 5th Metal Detector
