I'm DavidDoc on the forum. I go by the name "Doc." I joined the forum not long ago and live in Minnesota.
Not long ago, I went to an old trailer park location and found four Lincoln pennies on my first excursion after the winter. I have been asking around and got directions from a friend to the site of an old Civilian Conservation Corp (CCC) camp location in this county. I found an old slab where a building was and the camp is said to have surrounded it. There weren't any NO Trespassing or State Property signs or anything. The site is just off the road a bit, isolated and alone under pine trees. I'm going to try the site pretty soon so wish me luck. It sounds as promising as any other old place I suppose. The ground does not have high weeds or brush but is somewhat thick with green algae etc. in places and a solid layer of built up grass and the like. I guess you just have to go to work and dig however you have to.
I took some pics but as of yet don't know how to incorporate them into posts on this part of the forum. Anyway, I'll get back if anything good comes out of the site. It will be a first for me detecting at this type of location. I'm going to try and look up some old county maps and see what they may tell me. I'm still relatively new at this hobby and am trying to learn the ins and outs. My fingers are crossed in anticipation.
