[QUOTE="yakpoo, post: 1120037, member: 18157"]I'm here for ya Cheetah! ;) Another place metal-detecting friends tell me is good (if you live in New England) is out in the woods, along old stone walls. 150-250 years ago, Connecticut was 80% cleared farmland. There was so much granite near the surface that it had to be dug up. The farmers didn't have any place to put it so they used it to make stone walls to separate the fields. Today, Connecticut is 80% forested. Those stone walls are still there, but they're out in the woods. Back in the day, coins would fall out of people's pockets as they climbed over the walls. Also, the walls made good landmarks...good places to bury things...like a tin box full of coins. I've heard stories of some pretty nice finds by folks willing to take a 10 mile hike in the woods with their equipment. :thumb:[/QUOTE]
