fistfulladirt Pillar of the Community United States 4333 Posts	Posted 08/05/2012 10:34 am Most old homesites in the US have already been hunted, but there are still goodies, as I've found over a dozen silver halves and two silver dollars at such sites in two years. When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors... Roll hunting since '77 Dirt fishing since '72 Report this Post to the Staff

Out here in the west there are entire areas that have never been metal detected. I've found hundreds of old homesteads that I can find no records of. Now granted I mostly find junk and old for my area of the country isn't that old for the rest of it. Report this Post to the Staff
NathanASE Pillar of the Community United States 1511 Posts	Posted 08/05/2012 11:35 am I've had a cheaper bounty hunter for a while now but it works great and has coin settings. I used a 1861 silver 3ct, penns dime nickel, quarter, big & small nail, screwdriver and my hand shovel and put them around the yard for a half a day distinguishing between the sounds. I live in Western Massachusetts, lots of early, early (well early for the US, lol) cellar holes, but haven't got much of a chance to use it yet, just around the backside of the old town , and no, lol, I didn't dig up the yard, my towns huge but only 1100 people.. It's dirt on the back side.. :) But me and a friend have a few really secluded holes were going to check this week.. Report this Post to the Staff
