Hey All, Here is a SWEET research method that produces a color coded map of the dates that homes were built. It is quick and easy to get printable color “Year Built” maps of local areas of interest for relic hunting and coinshooting for old valuable coins.
The map construction date ranges include: 1900 and earlier, 1900-1949 and 1950-1969. These particular areas are shades of blue, and everything later is a red shade, making identifying good search areas easy. I tried it on my town and it produced an excellent map, even identifying older “stand alone houses” in newer developments.
Here are the instructions.
1) Go to PropertyShark.com
2) Go to HOME and enter the city and state you want to search.
3) Click “Search by Address”.
4) Select #2 “Browse Properties on the Map”.
5) Click “Get More Maps”
6) Click “Features and Elements – Year Built”
7) ENJOY!!!
This is a really cool tool and gives you an idea where activity would have been back in the day. According to the map colors, if it is blue, you are going to be in a zone that will have a better chance of holding older coins.
Happy Hunting! Jason
