Old roads?

If you are wanting to get started in metal detecting, then there are far worse areas you could choose. Just don't buy a detector thinking you will get rich quick. You'll get countless hours of enjoyment though.

If the old road has any areas where people stopped and camped, or maybe a cross-road (people would often stop and make trades at cross-roads), that would be well worth searching, as would any area with old trees, and any spot where people may have either spent the night or money would have possibly exchanged hands.
 

If you only have access to it for a short while longer then i think it would be worth checking it out! half of the fun is the "what if". Id look for some large trees that may have offerd shade while traveling as a resting spot, maybe if theres a stream nearby that my have been a watering hole. nothing but time lost if you dont find anything. but not trying you'll only question yourself later...what if....and as for a detector id start off with what you can afford, then if you stay in it look into a different machine if need. Good luck and HH!!
