In a part of this three-part series, we talk about coinshooting without using electronic instruments. This segment will be shot in the currency of a metal detector and how-to metal detecting elements of the investigation. I love this country and for forty years I have passionately involved with all types of sensors want others to experience the same ecstasy that a valuable coin or keeper takes when it leaves the ground.

Today we are blessed with great technology metal detecting in the hobby. When I started to spot on Christmas Day 1969, had a $ 50.00 BFO unit manufactured by a science teacher at FL school, Jim Ford. Medeford unit in many ways matched or was better than great and I was hooked in the currency of shooting my first time out. Today detectors metals are much higher and one of the biggest keys to the success of anyone's money shot is research.

Tire money is the most popular form of treasure hunting such as coins can be found almost everywhere people have been. Only in the U.S. only in the last hundred years, over one hundred million coins have been lost and only about twenty-five million recovered or kayak for coin shooters.

The most obvious areas to hunt coins are sites that are still in use. These sites include schools, playgrounds, parks, picnic areas, roadside rest areas, ball parks, swimming holes, carnival grounds, art / place of the exhibition of jewelry and many more areas like these. Although most of the coins found at these sites are relatively new, that are great for training and teaching the user the basics of operating your detector and sounds that makes the unity of all types of signals. I personally do this kind of search to hone my skills needed in the recovery work investigated the sites that contain larger and more valuable coins. A goals that are often very weak on the edge of the depth of the detector in the range, are the currencies of other treasure hunters have been lost due to not using headphones, however, or rapid sweep without overlapping each sweep from 30 to 50% or only marginal signs for them to be.

The largest field to find untapped currency value is older and old home sites. A family member of mines in Wallingford, CT is a colonial house built 1732. Using a Fisher 1210 were discovered some wonderful coins. There are houses there in the world dating back to the 1600s and the advantage of looking at these sites are of two kinds. Most treasure hunters do not ask permission to hunt these areas for fear of rejection. You could be the first person to make sure the patio. The second advantage is that the yard usually unwanted have much less to most areas frequented by hunting is much easier.

A little research of any city or town can produce many sites that will be productive for finding valuable coins. My favorite and most productive sites have been the old bars proceedings, fresh water pools and beaches, campsites and recovery centers of the church, old school sites, work sites WPA, World War I and World War II training centers, compound Fair-old parking meter sites of the 40's and 50 along city streets and old dance and performance areas in city parks. County atlas published years ago are available at most city libraries and historical societies and give the locations of these old sites. Get a map modern and compare the two. They are about to go ahead with the drive and the right to these areas. Reading stories of a city also can produce many ancient sites. Images taken more than 100 years ago reveals possible sites as well. If you are looking for a rare coin, as SVDB Lincoln Cent in 1909 or 1916 Standing Liberty Quarter, look buildings and houses that were built at that time. The internet has a wealth of information and research material about the communities as well. As a person people, my favorite is the method of investigation to the elderly in a community. These guys remember the old days, and usually will be happy to share information that will throw the coin rewarding.

Joining a treasure hunting club and meeting members will also be productive in terms of finding new sites. Questioning detector fellow users in the field can also be productive. In 40 years of filming currency using the research skills has produced enough good leads and sites that will take me through the years and I know I will reach my goal of personal 200,000 coins. Start by doing good research. Can you dig it? I do!
