Metal Detecting
I just got my first premission to detect on an old private property in my neighborhood. The original house was built in 1823 and there is a house built in 1873 there, as well as an old barn of the same era.
There is also a lot of woodlands and pasture as the man owns 73 acres. Any suggestions or tips that you more experienced folks can give me would be much appreciated. I've been given the OK to detect anywhere on the property.

My first time to join a detector website ................ Nice place it seems .................... When I am searching old homesteads , I always make it a point to park my truck in a different spot on every visit ............................ seems to give me a new perspective on the property ................
 

I understand wanting to hurry when darkness is setting in or your better half is calling or whatever is pulling at you, but remember that it will be there tomorrow. I have a yard that is approx. 30'x50' that I have hit 4 times now and have pulled out treasure each time. I swore that I hit every inch but I continue to find treasure ! So far 4 silvers,1 Buff,1 War, 10 wheaties , a pendent and and diamond broche, in that small erea, it is crazy!
