So you've bought a metal detector, must now go out and claim their new treasure. But before leaving in mind these quick tips

1) Obtain license: If you plan to use private property for metal detecting, you must obtain permission from the owner. Most people will be welcome if are shown the courtesy of asking first. Do not be afraid to share their potential is the owner of the property.

2) Do your research First: That you apart from the fans. Make sure you research the area you are looking for. Know that you may have frequented the area, is the area widely used now, when the area was widely used, the elements that might have been left by someone in the past. Having available a map and trace its path.

3) Look at old maps of the area: A map of old may have places marked out of the new maps that may not have. These may be little known and forgotten pieces of land that very few know. Use this to your advantage.

4) Out in the rain: Do not be afraid of a little water. Buy a poncho and a cover for metal detector and you're ready to go. The rain will help carry the items that are buried closer to the surface and the water loosens the soil, making the process easier to dig.

5) Avoid the crowds to leave earlier or later: You can go treasure hunting while others are eating breakfast lunch or dinner. This works like a charm if you are on vacation.

6) Use the website of the city: almost every city has a website and the site is a wealth of information on parks and playgrounds. If you do not have an Internet connection and / or equipment, visit the library and use the computer there or visit the Department of Recreation of the city.

7) Take your detector everywhere: You never know when you are a little gem of a place to go hunting. For the same reason, be sure to mark the places you see while traveling.

Know your history Knowing the history of the area to be searched and the city will help. Some questions worth asking are:

• Is your city on site of a battle? (ie, Gettysburg)
• It was the area in question every time a tourist site or a resort
• Are there any ports abandoned or ports?

9) Time courses near water: The water was and still is a used to carry things and rivers roads and streams were in the past. Any place where people have gone through is a great place to study. Also ask the elderly in the area and if there are pools of old people used to use. Remember, the pools are a luxury not always available and not everyone could afford them.

10) Check your local forest People have always traveled through the forests and have even set up camp there. There is potential for finding incredible things. Also on the look roads. Trafficking routes indicate time. One precaution is to be aware of animals that can live in their local forests. Bears, snakes, wolves, wild cats, etc, all animals can be dangerous to be aware of your surroundings.
