My sites are old house sites but are now just fields. Very easy to find and GREAT for OLD coins. I will be hunting saturday afternoon. If you are interested in going PM me. I always take my 11 year old son with me. He is a natural at detecting. Also most of the places i hunt are close to rivers so indian artifacts are everywhere!

Default A Indiana MD group sounds good!

I have my first metal detector ordered and should be here by the first of next week. Ace 350. A Indiana Metal detector group sounds good to me. Count me in.
