Coin Shooting - Coin Hunting

- There are numerous places one can find coins, and this includes the older silver coines. But two places stand out at the top of my list when it comes to coin shooting or coin hunting, 'Schools and Churches'.
Schools are a gold mine for lost coins, and if the school building is new you still have a great chance of finding newer coins, and the older the school, the better it is. A lot of modern school buildings are built on the grounds where past schools stood. It can really pay off to do some history research in the local library. Lots of kids means 'lots of lost lunch money', and if you metal detect on the site of an old one room school house, you can find silver dollars and even more rarities.

Churches are like searching for a pirates loot, you never know what you may find. And a lot of churches are very old, even many of the modern ones are like schools, they are built on the grounds where old ones stood. Churches were often the first building built in many towns. Right here where I live are numerous churches, and one was built in the early 1800's.
Church buildings not only housed people on sundays but, most were wedding sites, reception halls, dance halls, dinner sites, ice cream social locations, group meeting spots and much more.

Woods - The woods can be awesome for metal detecting if one knows what to look for. Look for old paths, those are great places to detect along. Old paths in the woods served as shortcuts to open fields for farmers to get their equipment through, or for cattle to follow and more. In a wooded area not far from when I grew up as a child I know where there is an old path, now grown up with trees and bushes, most folks would overlook it or not know it's history. My grandfather and dad built the road by blasting tree stumps with dynamite and by hand cutting. They used the path to quickly get tractors, and other farm machinery to another open field below the woods. Just inmagine the number of times my own dad and grandfather probably sat along this old road, eating their lunch or sipping some cool lemonaid. Any time someone sat along a road eating lunch, they would often pull an old cloth hanky from their pocket to blow their nose or even wipe their mouth, often losing some pocket change at the same time.

Another rare but great metal detecting site can often be found in the woods, these are old stone foundations and old stone chimneys, each has the potential for a rare gold coin or a jar of old silver dollars. Remember at one time this old stone foundation or fireplace was part of a familys home, with kids playing, parties and numerous outdoor activites.

Coin Shooting - Coin Hunting with no Metal Detector - There is going to be someone who finds this page on the net, that does'nt own a metal detector. You too have one location that is great for finding coins and NO metal detector is needed. Do some research and find any old abandoned cars in the woods, near old barns, old abandoned junk yards, and other places.

Every old or abandoned car had seats at one time, and everyone who sat in it overtime, probably lost some change. These old cars can be like treasure sites. Of course only search vehicles that are junked and ones you have permission for, and like any metal detecting location, always be on alert for bees, wasps, snakes, and any poisonous plants you could always encounter in the woods or other outdoor areas.
