<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gilbert, post: 2116014, member: 73104&quot;]After being discharged from the service in the 70&#039;s a buddy and I used to spend weekends metal detecting, mostly old cellar holes.&nbsp; We would locate old maps that showed the locations of houses and then compare them to USGS maps.&nbsp; Where there was a house and now nothing, that is where we went.&nbsp; Like Tom said, getting landowner permission can be a challenge but enough of them told us to go ahead.&nbsp; Over the years I found many metal artifacts and coins, none of which are worth a lot.&nbsp; One site in particular was productive - a long ago water powered mill.&nbsp; We found several large cents and below a very old shade tree I found several early nickels.&nbsp; Next time I have the camera fired up I&#039;ll take a few pictures.&nbsp; The bottle collections of some of the posters are truly remarkable, as is the case with the tokens and metal objects![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
