I'm just curious where you went detecting for the first time other than in your own yard (assuming your yard isn't of civil war era or equivalent historical significance). Why did you choose that specific place? Was it successful? Would you pick the same kind of place today?
The reason I ask is that I'll be getting my AT Pro next week and after playing around with it I need to decided where to go first.
1. My town hosts the oldest ongoing agricultural fair in the country (1818). It starts in a couple of weeks and runs for a week.
2. I live on a large fresh water shallow pond with a private beach area and there used to be a resort of sorts on the pond around 1900
3. There are several cellar holes in the woods nearby
4. I live 20 minutes from the beaches
5. My wife's ancestors owned a lot of land in town going back hundreds of years and she knows everything about most of it.
Thanks in advance for your experiences and thoughts!
