How to find the best places to detect in public places

thanks for the tips

Ball fields, parks, outdoor flea markets, fruit/vegetable stands the shade trees at the ball fields, park benches. All of these have paid off for me. Good luck and hh

2 parks in my area have movie nights just about every weekend in the summer months.
I have gone there and checked out where they put the big blow up screens, and over the next few days I hunt the big area in front of it.

Tons of tabs, pop tops and a bunch of clad plus a few junk rings so far, but there will probably be more.
Oh yea... I did find are real nice 14k wedding band at one of these parks, also.
It I was in the middle of nowhere and I wondered how it got dropped there, but when I saw an advertisement for a movie night at this particular park, a lightbulb turned on my head and I knew.

In Bama, Ryanchappel and I hunted an area like this in another park.
I ran over an area that had a quarter spill...14 quarters very shallow within a 2' square area.
Mystifying, but he figured out that this was where churches set up some concession stands for the families and somebody evidently spilled their cash box and didn't find all the quarters in the grass.
I was running with my Vaq and a 10X12 DD coil that day.
You should have heard all the signals at once in my headphones that I heard when I ran over these things.
That was fun...I would like to do that again.
