fistfulladirt Pillar of the Community United States 4333 Posts	Posted 04/20/2019 6:17 pm Buddy and I detected a large yard in a small college town. Over 30 wheaties dug including my poor man's VDB Lincoln. lots of wheats from the teens and twenties. Silver quarter hiding in the curb strip. Several IH's and two buffalo and a V-nickel. Buddy dug a cool old silver Oxford University ring with 1830 stamped on top. While we were there, a local dirt fisherman showed up and said, "sorry, not much left here from over the years."

You need to go find him and ask him for more of these places he know won't produce! Nice finds! How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 04/21/2019 07:57 am Nice finds . As far as I'm concerned there's no such thing as a detected out site . On a large old school yard there is very little chance of detectors going over every square inch of that field . Report this Post to the Staff

Yeah, that's kind of a running joke in the metal detecting forums. Its certainly better if they are fresh sites, but there is always something to be found even in the hammered or detected-out sites.

fistfulladirt Pillar of the Community United States 4333 Posts	Posted 04/21/2019 4:53 pm Yes, good sites are hard to find anymore. I really cleaned up the last 10 years, finding over 200 old silvers at popular hunting spots, not to mention all the other old coins and relics. I do have several multi-acre sites that were very productive short term, but have not given up a single coin find in the last few years. I truly believe these spots are hunted clean, as we've hit them with different hunters and detectors. Nowadays, I rely on research, word of mouth and door knocking to keep things interesting.
