Treasure Hunting 101

Research, is the single most Important thing you can do to help you find more treasure!! If your idea of metal detecting is zero research then I'll tell you right now , prepare to be disappointed.
I am from Upstate New York which is rich in history and arguably one of the best places to metal detect on the east coast. The number of potential sites are almost mind boggling ... and one of my better sources for treasure hunting sites is the local library, and its free!
Most library's have old news papers .. or old magazines! You will need to ask the librarian to view these, and believe me this is a great way to put you on target for even the most beat up sites you might already be hunting.
Remember, the price of admission to the library is free!
