Research

You know the best thing anyone that metal detects can do is research. You want to find out where the good finds are being made. It might be in the oldest section of your town. If you have access to ghost towns they are a great place to try out. Maybe out at the local swimming hole or where there was a lot of people activity. Of course the Internet is a great place for getting the info you need about certain locations. Your local library and court house are always available too. It can be very frustrating if you just start detecting and dig just junk. Books on old treasure tales can be fun to read and who knows you might find the one treasure that everyone else has been looking for. But just stay with it and never give up! Tenacity and patience are great to have for this hobby. I really like to read W.C. Jameson's books on long lost treasures and I carry these and other books here at John's Detectors. So do some research and grab your detector and good hunting!
