Metal Detecting has quickly jumped ranks when it comes to hobbyists, and there are a great many reasons for that. First and foremost is because of the things you will find, and there are many things that have been lost over the centuries.

Second is the history that you learn, whether it be your hometown or about somewhere else. There is an enriching quality knowing where the roots of our nation began and why they came about. Thirdly, it allows you some peaceful time to have to yourself to relax and acquire riches. Now in the next few paragraphs I will try my best to give you an idea where to hunt, and possibly what you may find.

Now by no means is this the only list in existence. The places I will suggest are from my own experiences and adventures. By no means will there ever be an end to the places to search, because there are too many countless places to go to where people have been. And the things that I have found may, or may not match things that you have found in a specific area.

First, you may be there wondering if there are any places on this earth that have not been searched? You read the stories and you see the photos of thousands of people getting permission to search private property, and you truly wonder is there anywhere I can go? I've been at this phase of detecting and it is quite bothersome to say the least.

But, when you really think about it and you put a little imagination into your thinking you come to realize there are still plenty of places, AND THEY ARE RIGHT IN FRONT OF OUR EYES! Thats right, right in front of our eyes. Now you may chuckle, or be cynical about this, I was at first until I proved the notion correct. I have categorized the United States into three categories: Country, Suburbia, and Metropolis. All three categories have a wide variety of places to search.

First we will start with the country. I made the devestating mistake of at first thinking there was nothing in this area of detecting, but I was dead wrong.

Good article. Enjoyed. I didn't think about those old street names having that kind of meaning.
