Coin Shooting - Four Places To Find Old CoinsCoin shooting with a metal detector can be a great way to locate old coins. There are many places to use a metal detector that will produce many coins; parks, and schoolyards are the most popular areas to metal detect. However, here are a few places you may not have thought of. Waterfalls One of my oldest coins was found at the base of a waterfall. Waterfalls are great places to search around because many of them are located in or near an old picnic grove. For years, the old groves were a gathering place for people. Most times, picnickers sat at the bottom of the falls near a pool of water used for swimming. This is where they lost their coins. Also, people love to throw coins from the top of the waterfalls to the bottom, into the pool of water below. I have watched people throw coins from the tops of waterfalls, and even bridges. However, many of those coins thrown from above the falls, missed the water and landed on the ground around the pool. You will find those coins. So, do not pass up waterfalls. They can lead to some very exciting coins. Old Swimming Holes If you locate an old picnic grove, as I mentioned above, then you may also have an old swimming hole nearby. Similarly, if you locate an old swimming hole, that means an old picnic grove could be close by. The two go hand in hand. Years ago families, friends and church groups, got together to picnic and swim, and many of the old picnic groves had a stream or creek nearby that was used for swimming.
Hiking Trails Many hiking trails have been around for hundreds of years. The majority of them were once old Indian trails. Throughout the years these old trails have been used as hiking trails, snowmobile and ATV trails. The difficulty in metal detecting these spots is digging through the hard packed dirt and gravel. However, the effort is well worth it. Some of my oldest, and most rare coins, were located while coin shooting on a hiking trail. Search out those trails; you will be glad you did. Outhouses I love old outhouses. Those who have seen my TV series, "Ghost Towns of the East," know why. Don't turn up your noses at the thought of searching in and around old outhouses, let me explain why. Come on now. Do I really have to explain? Just imagine all of those coins falling out of those pockets as duty is being done. I have located hundreds of old coins in and around outhouses. Also, don't worry about getting the plague or some incurable disease from searching old outhouses. The bacteria died off years ago. Take it from someone who has spent years standing, and digging in century old outhouses. I am a walking, thriving testament to that theory. If the bacteria were still alive, I would have two heads, or an eye in the middle of my forehead by now. So, don't worry about catching some incurable disease, or becoming deformed. Old outhouses excite me, that's right. And, every time I see one, I find out who the outhouse owner is, get permission, and I coin shoot like crazy. Give outhouse coin shooting a try. You will be glad you did.
