There once was this man, who had only been metal detecting a few months. He had gone to several sites, and had only found clad coins. He was always happy, just to find stuff, however he was waiting for the day he came home with an old coin. He went out to a site he had never hunted before, and found several clad coins. Suddenly he got a 8 inch reading, and figured he had found something great. He digs down and the first thing he sees on the coin is 1890. He is so excited, that he goes back to his truck for water to see what
The secret to those 1800's coins is...................location, location, location........ Your best bet is private property that has not been hunted by others. It takes a little nerve to start asking permission to hunt other peoples yards, but after a while it comes a lot easier.
