Clean parks & schools

Betty brings up the problem of other people with detectors cleaning out places. Here in my city there are probably more people with detectors than almost anywhere. There's as good sized club plus I see & know about 25 guys with them.
So the places I go are also cleaned out but I am looking closer to & under structures, crawling way under play things, covering the whole place, listening for an extra beep near metals, trying places where people wouldn't look, digging much more than I used to. And I am 62 and crawling way under things - others might not want to do that but I am finding things this way.
I you really want the goods you have to go everywhere. A few years back I crawled way under a porch of an old house - cat crap everywhere - and dug 3 indian head coins plus others. Another time I went way under a kindergarten play structure and found an 18K ring.
Try these things and see if you get more. Last year my hunting pard was way off the play area, dirt all packed down, place wheere no one would go = and he pops up a nice gold ring. I didn't go there as I didn't think it was "good" enough to detect.

Steve,
I figured some places that have trees or bushes now. Used to be nothing at one time or another. You never know what you're going to find in an area which at one time used to be a plain without any growth.

Hi, Steve, good info, but only if a person is able to crawl and get under and into those places. I might do that if I had someone with me, so if I got into trouble they could help get me out. I'm just not able to do those things any more. I have found and do find goodies in unusual places, but so are many others, for the pickin's are getting slimmer!
There are over a hundred members in the club that I used to belong to and when they detect the parks one weekend of each month and those with Minelab detectors sweep through every so often, there just isn't much to find! After a while, I get tired of finding nothing or the crumbs and just go once or twice a month. I can't get out early like too many do and I don't have a good running car or the finances to go very far from home, so that is why I didn't go hunting but eight times last year. When the weather gets too hot and humid I cannot take it, so I stay in where it's cooler!
Yes, I may be a pansy or sissy, but I'll do what I need to do and let the diehards and energizer bunnies keep on going and finding whatever they can!
Hope you can keep on, keepin' on and finding those goodies! I used to do that but those days are over for me unless I happen to get lucky and/or blessed by my Lord!
God Bless!
Betty
 
have days that are over in one way or another. I'm just glad I can still climb through barbed wire fences - a real test sometimes <img src="/metal/html/smile.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":)"> Steve
