Best Places To Hunt

stage stops and emigrant stopping spots (preferably virgin, and with no modern influences blt. on top). Old country picnic sites (preferably virgin, that ceased usage after 1920's . Beach storm erosion where all the light stuff is washed away.

Those are 3 that come to mind

Ok, not a very big town but there's a whole ocean to your east. Must be some CW history nearby. Look up historical road markers in your area. Get on the Internet . Read and read some more. Then look up old maps.the best places are the ones you worked hard to find.

You'll find a lot of bullets, if you hunt there. Freshly fired, bullets!

I just finished hunting an 1860s mansion and found a number of silver coins: 3 roosevelts, 3 mercuries, a 1940 Irish half crown, 1901 Barber quarter, 4 Washingtons and a silver salt shaker. Also an 186? French 10 Trimes. A .69 caliber minieball and a couple of lead soldiers as well.

Before this a football practice field gave up 3 gold rings and about $40 in clad.
