I need some help on finding good spots for metal detecting in Central New Jersey

Asking for "good spots" is basically the same as asking for $50 to buy some new headphones. <img src="/metal/html/smile.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt="
"> In this hobby you will find a great number of people who will bend over backwards to help you, hunt with you, and share their sites, but almost NEVER will someone pave your way to silver and gold. <img src="/metal/html/smile.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt="">
Becoming good at detecting is something that evolves from the first minute you buy your detector. I find more better quality coins and artifacts in a few weeks now than I did in my entire first year of swinging. The way I went about it, and you should too, is to find someone two hunt with and not be so concerned about good sites to start. Sometimes there is some truth to the adage two heads are better than one and besides, it's more fun than being by yourself. After I met my first fellow swinger I met another, than another, and the rest is history. It's almost 5 years later and I still hunt with the same two people and would a third but he lives away. I live in a place where very few people detect but the population is mostly laid back and friendly so my e-mails were usually well received.
Luke, the best thing you can do is to join a club if there is one in your area. Second best thing is to forget about where you hunt and just find someone with common interest to get going. Heck, I would even put a classified add in the local paper if I had to, but that's just me because when I get into something I am very determined to succeed. <img src="/metal/html/smile.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=""> Sometimes you can stumble upon great sites but most times they only come with research.
PS Do remember metal detecting is a non renewable resource so what was once good may not necessarily have much to offer now.

heck, if you do find something, they missed it. even my best buds talk tongue in cheeck so to speak. If they tell me a site, they are usually finished with it. Half the fun is your own skills at locating sites, I just happened to be a reader, hence the local library was a gold mine: I added up one night a few of my sites: 652 locations, in my life time I'll never get a 10th hunted. Here are some pointers:
1. Get yourself a box, a footlocker even a looseleaf notebook it doesn't matter.
2. Get some of those "dividers" at Walmart with a-z on one side.
3. Check out Google, type in your city/state and put in old maps, antique maps old train routes etc. just use your imagination, play with it. You will get leads right there. print it out. Goes in your file.
4. Go to the library look at their old map section, if they have a historical room walk right in.....and a word of caution here, do'nt take that bull #####about this area being used for family research only garbage. Politly ask, pointing out that you are a tax payer and its your party and you'll cry if you want to right to your attorney. I've had to remind a few employees that I had every right to use any part of the library I choose.
4. Many libraries have old history books, old journal etc. you will never ever be able to check out all these sites.........I'll stop there, you have the basics to start, make up your own system, I have a page that i copy key words on such as a old community name etc, when that word comes up in converstion with some one I go to that page and look up my keyword and what notes I have under it, many times things I've forgotton. Do you see what I'm getting at........your own personal librarty aimed at metal detecting. I saw a key word last week and found a winter camp. <img src="/metal/html/lol.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":lol"> if you haven't caught on yet better take up another hobby...........
