Coin hunting or coin shooting is not just a fun thing to do but it can also be extremely rewarding.
If you find one gold piece or any unique item during your hunt, you can easily pay for the cost of the metal detector.
Now, when it comes to coin hunting or coin shooting, I have a couple of destinations that paradise.
I call them my golden department as they are the best places to do coin hunting.
1.
Riverbanks, pools, lakes or swimming holes.
Top spots for real treasure hunting goes to these places.
Riverbanks are just perfect as they can really kick your metal detectors and have it smoking in an hour or so.
Brook banks were previously used as ferry crossings and there were a couple of bridges that were covered with toll stations.
Ask old folks where previous fishing spots were as well as old swimming spots.
These old fishing spots were also drinking and boogying spots before, and swimming holes are places where people often took their clothes off, thereby losing change as they did.
Remembering history, you would note that people often bring their dirty clothes to riverbanks and wash them there.
The same principle applies to old farm pooks which were used as favorite spots during summer.
They were used as swimming pools or picnic areas.
Therefore, it can be concluded that banks and shores of brooks, ponds, streams, lakes, etc are perfect locations to find coins, jewelry, trinkets and a whole lot more.
2.
Churches.
Sacred as they are, churches still offer the best place for treasure hunters.
Most cities or rustic areas have schools while some have multiple ones.
If you are as lucky as I am living in a rural or country area that still preserves their old buildings, then you are living in a treasure haven.
These buildings before served as churches, social halls, farm grange building, and as meeting places for scouts, women aid societies and more.
A lot of old churches and one room colleges owned their own treasure chest.
They are not mere legends.
They are true.
These chests serve as some sort of time capsules containing coins, papers and other unique items from the time when the building was first built.
These building rotted in time and people naturally forgot about the buried time capsule close to the corner stone where they are traditionally located.
Scanning the church lot is like scanning a pirate's loot.
You never know what you will and will not find.
Most town's fist building are churches that not only housed folks during Sundays, they are also marriage sites, reception halls, dance halls, dinner sites, ice cream social locations, group meeting spots and much more.
3.
Woods.
This location can also be a haven for treasure hunters provided that you know what you are looking for.
You can start with old trails which previously served as shortcuts to open fields for farm workers.
Through this trail, they get their equipment through and their herd.
You can also try old stone foundations and old stone chimneys which all has the capability to produce gold coins or a jar of old silver greenbacks.
The best of luck on your adventure! Just don't forget to bring the essentials needed for you to have the energy and stamina for treasure hunting.
Most of all, don't forget to have fun.
