Hi all....
New/amateur detectorist here and wanted to share an interesting spot here in Lake Forest, CA, since I may never be able to properly hunt the spot (I have a $40 detector from China and it has no discernment) ... but this is a spot that use to be the location of a train station in a town that doesn't exist anymore called El Toro (abandoned El Toro Marine base is also nearby).
This article explains more:
This is that barren strip, which is where I've been hunting.
Map location: https://www.google.com/maps/@33.6275588,-117.6948745,401m/data=!3m1!1e3
I've recovered several very old looking pieces of metal probably used for building... some very old looking nails as well. I imagine somewhere in that lot might be some old coins or something cool. It's a private spot, nobody bothers you.
If any of you end up hunting there, let us know how it goes!! Meow
