Hi everyone. First I want to say thank you for this site, it is wonderful. Yep another newbie here that got a detector for Christmas. I got a Bounty Hunter IV . I guess everyone got tired of hearing me say Wow I bet that would be a good place to go metal detecting. My grandfather always called me the little rooter, I was always rooting in drawers, and the cellar. Then My brother in law introduced me to digging up bottles, had a lot of fun with that to. I am getting somewhat familiar with my metal detector, I have taken it out in the yard, found a few things nails and such. I do have a few places in mind and a lot of questions. Old foundations in the woods, do you need permission to hunt there? And what about where they took out towns to put highways in, can you look there on the side of the road and into now wooded areas but where houses use to be. I have been reading posts here on the site and learning alot.
