Generally, one can get some ideas as to where these caches have been lost or hidden. What it takes is some thorough research.Thousands of Americans, young and old, are discovering that “coin shooting” can be very profitable not only monetarily, butfrom the benefits of fresh air and the exhilarating exercise of walking and bending that accompany the thrill of discovery!

Perhaps one of the main lure of treasure hunting today is the combination of healthy recreating with profit. A little time around a previously used campground, for instance, has often yielded enough to more than pay for a metal detector!

Coins, such as some Lincoln pennies, can bring as much as $35.00 and Indian heads, quite a bit more! Cast iron toys, bottles, old tools and guns can be worth hundreds of dollars.

Garrett, Whites, Fisher and Minelab metal detectors are being used to find gold nuggets, veins and other likely locations for gold prospecting. Metal detectors are almost a “must” for locating the old bottle dumps. And, don’t forget the time-honored pastime of beachcombing! Make it really pay off when you take along a quality metal detector!
