Ideas please!

[Frog66]

Can anyone give me ideas of where to metal detect?

I live in the Texas Hill Country and the ground is so hard you can't get through it right now.

Or some ideas on how to get through the soil easier.

Thank you!
Kim

Any place that is grassy and old is a good place to detect. Get a shovel and make it very sharp. That'll work to dig with.

Some posts i've read, some carry a hammer and a rod or large nail or railroad spike. And drive into the ground to break up the 1st two or three inches. Good luck HH

Try the beaches, and shallow water along the Guadalupe. {Can you say innertubers?} You also have lots of ghost towns there.

Kim,

You may want to try one of those rock hammers. They sale them inn most hardware stores... Or you may even try one of those roofing hammers that have the flat blade for chopping. I know that sandstone ground is some hard digging. You shouldn't have too hard a time with either of those hammers though... Just be careful not to scar your finds...

Then there's always the razor sharp Bowie...
