Metal Detecting Locations

Location is everything in metal detecting. The best detector in the world won’t find treasure where none exists, and a mediocre machine in the right spot will outperform an expensive machine in a hunted-out park every time. Finding productive new locations – through historical research, old maps, local knowledge, and understanding of the history of your area – is the skill that separates consistently successful detectorists from those who always seem to come home empty-handed.
