Got out briefly for about a 2 hour hunt this morning along a curb strip I did well on back in the late eighties. The finds include 8 wheats and a 42- s merc I managed to gouge, OUCH ! 3 of the wheats were in a small pocket spill and date `20, `22, and `25. The rest of the wheats were from the mid 40`s. Was great to get out for a bit and see again what the SE can find in ground I thought I had cleaned years ago. HH

Nice curb hunting bud. The "gouge" is just a battle scar. Good find.

Hey Randy --
While you may have a valuable coin on your hands, apparently, I had a different question...
Tell me more about this "curb strip" thing. Not familiar with this -- do you mean the grass between the edge of the street and the sidewalk? If so, do you just assume it's city easement and thus legal to hunt, or do you hunt these spots in specific places? Fill me in here!

Nice finds.That merc is in sweet shape.
WTG on the Parking Strip (that is what we call it) finds. I have started hunting my old neighborhood "strips" and sometimes get permission to hunt the yards too! If someone asks what I am doing or I see them in their yard I ask. I get a lot of yes and some no. Nothing to brag about yet but a few wheaties and one Merc. But I just started!

In my home town of Marietta Ohio the Police saw me detecting between the curb and the sidewalk. They stopped to tell me it was OK to search this area without owner permission as this was city property and the city says it is OK. This said you will need to check with the city you will be detecting to ensure it is OK there.
But I always try to knock on the door to inform the property owner I will be detecting. I will also ask if OK to detect the front yard as well. I give them my business card and explain I will leave yard as found it. I have been pretty successful in gaining permission.
Good luck!!!

Hey raweppler --
Thanks for that info. I will check with the city police. I would obviously get permission if I were to hunt someone's front yard, but in front of vacant homes, or lots with no home on them, it should be OK to hunt those, being city easement. I will check with the police...but it's also nice to hear that you have been pretty successful in gaining permission to hunt front yards, too...
