Steve Herschbach Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Good place to start is detect older areas. So round up an old map, say 1920 for example, and hunt existing places that are on the map back then. Try Old Maps Online for general maps https://www.oldmapsonline.org/en/California#bbox=-124.48200307000002,32.529523530000006,-114.13078163999997,42.009498940000014&q=&date_from=0&date_to=9999&scale_from=&scale_to= and Sanborn Fire Maps are great for down to the nitty gritty local details https://www.loc.gov/collections/sanborn-maps/about-this-collection/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathray Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 I will help ya out man. Take a road trip to Stockton. Look up Victory Park. Hit sidewalk strips in the area. I always hit the dead grass/ dirt ones. It's city property, but don't be silly, and dig someone's flowers, lol. Don't know what type detector or experience you have, but all the parks within a mile or 2 of the crosstown are good..but trashy, and some are dangerous. If you present yourself like easy prey, don't go to them. Also, all this applies to early morning...wouldn't go past about 9 or so. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck I remember a park in the rough part of Stockton some of us used to call, Wino Cap Park. Many old seated, barbers were pulled out of the ground with rusted bottle caps. I would never hunt there when dark. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hit that place weekly for years. You can cut a random big plug, and pull coins. I'm hoping someday to see a scrape there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
