In addition to CCH's suggestions........ many counties have a historical association/museum that is packed with local info.

After you have done all of the above, then spend a whole lot of time in the field with your detector, be patient, take notes, mark down your finds on a map somehow, and determine a pattern; then use the pattern to find the next most likely location.

Old roads, river crossings, nearby creeks...etc old survey maps are great.
