I am in the South and my church has a very large area covered by grass. I am thinking of how many events, and people, have been on the grounds over the past few decades or more and thinking it could be a good place to scan for coins. I will have to ask the Pastor what he thinks of the idea. As long as the grass is not damaged, I think it will be fine. Later, Kenscott Report this Post to the Staff

You never know till you try, good luck there. I'll never forget the time (recently) where a fellow detectorist dug a dozen Indian Head cents, in a 50 X 30' church yard right downtown. When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors... Roll hunting since '77 Dirt fishing since '72 Report this Post to the Staff
