    Vacant lots abound in cities where old abandoned houses were demolished. This has been my best source of good finds. Also, the yard sales tip works for me, too.

    When I was a kid I learned to check grassy areas like parks and wide grassy boulevards near bars on Saturday and Sunday mornings. Drunk people often end up in the grass and they lose things out of their pockets. Didn’t even need a metal detector lol

    Great information. We're definitely on the same wavelength on everything. Another thing to add to the garage sales is estate sales. They're amazing for permissions. Most of the time, the family is getting rid of the house and they don't care if you go around and dig holes in the yard. I get more Yes's than No's from them. The problem is asking as estate sale that the family is at, not run by an estate sale company. They won't know if the owner will give you permission and won't ask the home owner for you. I usually go with the tactic of saying "Hey, I do metal detecting as a hobby and would love to help you find anything precious that was lost before you get rid of the house". Almost always they say that nothing was lost, but sure go ahead and detect if you want. Almost always you have to be willing to do it while the sale is open , because they want to have the sale and leave, not stay around and watch over you. Sometimes they'll give me another time to stop by when they're going to be back at the house. HH Matt

    I have had trouble looking around carwashes. Had one old lady get mad because I picked up a penny lying on the ground. So I gave her the damn penny. At another carwash I was walking through the vacuum area on my way to a store and saw a few coins and had police come up asking me about break ins. Yes they tried to accuse an old lady of burglarizing a car wash. I have no idea how to burglar a place! In the few minutes I was there a group of 6 police officers were asking me about break ins. It was insulting and ridiculous. It's not like the area is hidden. I was right out in the open and I never go near any of the vacuums or anything people put money in. The car wash was closed and it was early in the night. And I pick up any trash and put it in the garbage cans.
    There was a nearby car wash where no one cared if you looked around. Found some interesting stuff. One time I found a poor little guinea pig running around in terror. The aquarium he had been kept in was smashed when it was thrown in the dumpster. I found a home for him. Found a lot of coins. And since I had 4 kids, finding dishes and glasses that people had thrown away while cleaning out their car was quite handy for me. We went through a lot of glasses and dishes with these kids. It was fun. I did get yelled at for picking up a penny in the parking lot of a Sonics. The manager said it was her money. I didn't give her the penny.

    Hey Jim….. basketball courts have been my cash cow. This small park by my house m, it has only one court, grass on all 4 sides.
    That one court has payed out over $300 in clad , and some nice jewelry all in a 1 year time period. I’m in NY so from January until the snow melts I don’t hunt that park.
    I hit the courts in the early morning.

    Great information , I live deep in the hills of Vermont,it's very difficult to find good spots that haven't been completely pounded, I still find some cool stuff hidden in the hollows, but without a good permissions, I have to hike way out in the hills... permissions are everything, and yes I stop at every old home yard sale I can ,buy something then ask for permission,,I also do carpentry on old houses and ask and offer up all finds to the land owner.

    I have done very well on the sidelines of soccer fields, people often take off their jewelry before playing and put it by a sweater or towel and then forget to pick it up after the game. The yard sale thing is also something I do as often they are moving out and then they think " what the heck why not before we leave ? "

    When I was a kid and I needed money I located a phone both that was not on pavement. Then I lifted the wood flooring and there was always a lot of money that had fell between the cracks. Another spot is carnival fields like shooting stands etc. Also where the city pile up the snow they plow. A lot of trash there though. Some cities dump in water so If you underwater detect those spots are loaded on the bottom.

    Is one literally just coin shooting surface items,
    Or. Are you granted permission to dig.
    Here in England
    we don't have permission to dig on public/city owned property, I,e parks etc.

      @edsrace I use an app on my phone to find owner information and it's super easy. Most of the time it's some land holding company that's not even in my state. I figure if they are 5 states away They are not going to know that I am on their precious abandoned lot. When I hunt a place like this It actually looks better than it did when I got there Because I pick up a bag full of trash. I guess it really depends upon the area you live and what is around the vacant land. Where I am at people really could care less. In a city of 300K people, folks tend to mind their business.

    10 years ago when I first started metal detecting, I remember seeing about a half dozen channels on YT devoted to metal detecting Now there is probably over 150 channels devoted to the hobby. In my opinion there has been an explosion in the hobby due to TH-cam channels exposing the hobby to thousands of guys and gals who find the lure of digging up treasure pretty tempting. It's no surprise to me that good targets are getting harder to find. Most of my finds these days are pennies that other guys have passed up while cherry picking. The number one reason it is harder to find good targets is due to the number of competitors out in the field today.
