<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jimmiejam, post: 17288, member: 1147&quot;]Allthough I found this coin at a little park.&nbsp; Most all of my old coin finds come from old home sites that people are still living in.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; I have some old maps of my area that show where the old homes are located.&nbsp;&nbsp; I drive to those spots and if the house is still standing I&#039;ll go and knock on the door and ask permission to detect their property.&nbsp;&nbsp; I get about a 50% yes no reply.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The hardest part is just getting the nerve up to go and ask.&nbsp;&nbsp; But, if I want those old coins I go and do it.&nbsp; Most people are real nice about it either way they respond to ya.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; I might get out today.&nbsp; Its been rainy but I think its supposed to let up later on. </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; Last weekend I hit an old church site in a county over from me.&nbsp;&nbsp; Found 4 indian heads in real nice shape.&nbsp; Plus some other neat do dads.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; I&#039;ll try any place where people gathered back in the day but most parks and obvious places have been detected pretty hard.&nbsp;&nbsp; Thats where the research pays off plus old home sites.&nbsp; A lot of home sites are virgin territory because&nbsp; people just don&#039;t wanna ask.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Sorry for rambling but I just love this hobby of detecting for old coins.&nbsp;&nbsp; Anytime I can help anyone detecting wise, I would be glad to.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
