    Ever have this problem? I'm off tomorrow and.....

    Cannot for the life of me decide where to go or just troll around some parts of town looking for something promising. I guess I'll go where ever the highway takes me!

    Wow, there are so many places to go swing a coil here, I don't know why I'd ever leave town unless I knew a spot was virgin.

    So many sidewalk easements, parks, old homes, etc..... I have trouble deciding where to actaully stop and detect.

    In situations like this, a school yard, rec park or the town common is a good place to go and try some new things with your detector. Worst case scenario you find a bunch of clad and a couple interesting things. Good luck out there!

    Hey, Jack... many a time I found myself driving down our driveway and just sitting there at the end of it for 5 or 10 minutes... scratchin' my head.

    Remembering the brake, the gas, and that thing you turn, helps too.

    No problem here, I just head for the woods. So many places where the guard has camped I could hunt for the next ten years and not cover the same ground twice. thumbsup01

    I've got Friday morning off. I'm headed for the secret spot for some silver.

    Actual parks, schools, and old churches are pretty limited in my area so I often find myself with time to detect by no good place to hunt. Since getting my Etrac I have re-hit several places with good success though!

    Right now I'm having the 'too much time and so few sites' problem I don't want to have to drive to a different part of the country every time I want to detect, so I'm going to have to get creative around here soon.

    I spend an inordinate amount of time before a hunt hemming and hawing about where to go...

    There's jsut so many factors to consider!

    I usually just head to a park on a hunch. Sometimes it works out for me.. I found a new spot in a rough area yesterday but I'll be there Sunday morning early..

    I also struggle with whether or not to save a site or to hunt it to death as soon as I discover it.

    When I get a new site, I will hunt it until I can't find anything good any more. You never know where the next development is going to go up, so don't let a good site wait.
