Hi everybody, another newbie here. I hope you are all available for me to pick your brains.
after years of wanting a MD my husband got me one for our anniversary. He's been great about helping me figure it out. He even threw a handful of change out in the backyard for me to find. (the sweetie). We are going to try to find time this weekend to get out and check out a few areas. I live in an area surrounded by forest service land. Can you detect there? Is it different from state to state? I am hearing that there are still a lot of mining claims around. How do you know if you are on someone's claim. Do they post it really well or do I need to get a map from somewhere. There is a ghost town we are interested in checking out, no buildings left, just foundations and crumbling floorboards. It is off of a forest service road but I have never noticed any signs warning people away. Any input is appreciated.
Thanks,
