Vermont’s colonial era hill farm communities and Green Mountain landscape offer some of the oldest metal detecting ground in America. Former farming communities abandoned in the 19th century left cellar holes, stone walls, and artifact scatters across Vermont’s forested uplands that reward patient researchers. Vermont municipalities vary in their detecting regulations – always check with the specific town or park authority before detecting, and note that Vermont has strong archaeological site protections.
