Looking over a new site

When I hunt a new site that has old growth trees, I make the tree bases one of the first places I look.
I hunted a park a few miles from my house several years ago, and at the base of one tree I found a
1\2 dime. At first I thought it was play money until I realized what I had found. Also check out any dirt trails or walkways
I have walked away with plenty of Indians and silver from these areas also. When I started detecting in 1972 silver was everywhere, now it takes
looking at places where maybe just was over looked by others.One of the parks I hunt at is along a river, don't forget to check out the under cut banks. There still is plenty to be found, just look for the out of the way places. :callme:
 
Good tips, There are still many, many places to find silver. All it takes is a little research, the internet makes it so easy.
 
Nice tip Rodbuster! Next weekend should be nice around these parts. Do you want to get together for a hunt? It would be nice to detect with someone other than my trusty Chow-Sheperd Sasha!
 
Big trees are great,,,,Keep an eye out for depressions in the ground where a tree once stood too. I have found a bunch of oldies in those spots too thumbsup01 thumbsup01
 
Yep even at old home sites trees are good places to hit because back in the day they didn't have air conditioning, so on a really hot day they would go outside under a big shade tree where they could get a breeze.
