whether someone hits it or not - try it for yourself
i cant tell you how many spots I was told were cleaned out that I have done great at
I cant tell you how many spots others said were aweful and Ive done good at
and how many places for years I never tried because there were dealers near by and tons of guys with machines in the area
and Im getting gold deep and far out at - last year was a good example
so - try them all for yourself and make your decission
and even then - Ive had spots that were aweful and I went back at the right time and did good
you never know
They must all still be out there : ) I grew up near there but never detected. There's an easy formula the amount of treasure lost is equal to the use each area gets. I think that applies everywhere. Although sometimes the beaches off the beaten path can yield great finds because most of us hammer the popular ones. Good luck
