Sometimes, when reading about others finds of ancient relics, gold coins, and other really old coins, I am tempted to think I must be doing something wrong. I have only been at this hobby for a few years and I will admit I tend to hunt parks and schoolyards the most because I am not good at seeking permissions and like the gratification of finding something spendable fairly frequently. Sometimes I venture to a beach or yard. I find it really interesting that all 3 of the 90% silver coins I have found were found within 3/4 mile of my home. I also find it interesting that my two oldest coins (1833 Liberty large cent and 1910 V nickel) were both found on different occasions at the same school yard of a school less than 20 years old. And my only 14K gold ring came from a city park playground. I sometimes wonder if it is worth it to try to research for "old" places to get permissions to hunt or just get out and hunt where you have access.
