Actually, I didnt just find it. I have had it a year or two since snagging it at a yard sale.
It is labeled on the front with a different community about 30 minutes drive away, but when I checked, it is actually the entire City/County area, including mine!
It is dated in Roman numerals, and I am not sure, but I believe is 1958, when I was just a baby.
It looks hand drawn, but it does not show I-95, although it shows the belway.
It does show lots of areas near me that used to be something else, including a very large school that is no longer there. There is a church (my church) on some of the land now, and much of it is open and probably untouched since those days.
There are other goodies too, and thats just my area. I could probably spend years finding places to hunt with it.
I have had moderate success with metal detecting over the years, especially when I put time into it. Found thousands of coins worth hundreds of dollars, plus a bit of silver and jewelry.
But I gotta tell you, I just love the idea of finding REAL coins! Franklins Indian heads, Buffalo nickels etc. Even wheats are an improvement over zinc pennies!
Looks like its going to be a good summer!
