<p>[QUOTE="tommyc03, post: 2336227, member: 17665"]There are a few of detectorists here and I personally feel your pain. Same here with all the 2nd home owners from N.Y. But, do get yourself some older USGS maps, they are online and free. The come in four parts (quadrants) and you have to splice them together but in the end, they are worth the effort. They will show all of the buildings for the time period and though it may take some serious hiking on your part, you are likely going to find areas that are still not posted in there somewhere. I know I have. Just make extra sure you are not on conservation property as if you get caught, the fines can be serious. River banks can be a find also as I have found two dumps on the side of a local river and found some nice vintage bottles. Widen your scope a bit, not just for coins but also artifacts. Most farmers do not mind as long as you mention you are a serious person who fills all the holes afterwards. Many nice farm implements I've posted here were the result of that. Good luck to you and nice find on the spoon.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
