These are potential sites, you still need to find out who the owner is and get permission. They might be in a state protected preserve and you could never get permission, I don’t know. You have to do the rest of the home work. All I know is they are in the woods and look very interesting. I...

Hello, my name is Rick and i'm a 34 year old father of two. After a lifetime of watching movies, and reading books and magazines about treasure hunting adventures, I've decided to live it! My wife is also very into the idea of it, and so supported my on my recent purchase of a Garrett AT Pro...

Please help! I believe this dates back from the early 1800s or earlier. It is flat and looks like a decoration, maybe from a saddle? Thoughts?

Hi folks. I returned to the early Vermont homestead for the second time this spring as all the snow of the past slew of Nor'Easters has finally melted here in the Champlain Valley. Spent about 6 hours there on Thursday and uncovered some more nice relics. Finds include an 1833 Matron LC, a...

Hi All, I've been detecting for about six years with a Coinmaster GT. I literally just got an AT Pro with hopes of doing better at the beach (I know it's not meant for this) but I got it for a best all around detector that will not break my bank. I will be spending TWO weeks in Maine this...

Went out with a new friend today for about 2.5 hours. He agreed to let me and a guy that's from the local historical society tag along to a property that dates back to the 1700s. It was supposed to be a one time permission but as it turns out I actually know the land owner! He works in the same...

Hi, new to MD, but have wanted to do it for many years. Now I am. Garrett ACE 350 arriving next week. AND, I am hoping, against hope, that there is another detectorist near me. I am in Franklin County, near the Canadian border.

Hi all, I am new to this group and I plan to do some panning in The Bolton or Waterbury, VT area. This will be my first time panning and I'm looking for some good areas to start so I thought I'd see what you guys could offer. I read that you can find color in Joiner brook in Bolton, has anybody...

My name is Ethan de Seife, and I'm a reporter with SEVEN DAYS, a weekly newspaper in Burlington, Vermont. I'm writing because our annual "money" issue will come out soon, and I'd like to write a story about treasure hunters in Vermont. So I've registered here to solicit contributions directly...

Hello. From Vermont, I've spent most of my "treasure hunting" time following my brother, who has a gold mine in Alaska and travels around the country looking for artifacts, semi-precious gem stones and, of course, gold. I recently had a great time at Doc's Rocks in North Carolina, where I found...

Hi All, I am going to the Sterling Ridge Resort for a wedding this Thurs-Sunday. I will be free for most of friday and will be bringing my metal detector and pan. Im flying into Burlington and will be driving there on thursday with maybe a little time to play/explore, but friday is the day I...

Hey guys, so I have brook very close to my house (technically I own it) and I am very new to prospecting. I know over the years friends and family have casually panned in it but never found even a fleck of gold. I also have never heard of anyone finding gold in it. HOWEVER what it does have is...

As everyone is in need of a hobby I just started a new one. I used to do a bit of mding but I had to stop. I got to good at finding junk and figured I would leave some for the next person, only fair. Now I am into gold prospecting with a focus on Vermont. I do some panning but my real...
