Not all good detecting sites are obvious.
Historic railroad camps are often overlooked, but with the right research they may lead to great finds.
Here’s how to start looking:

I was metal detecting the other morning on a sandy beach at a Provincial Park, no one in sight... nothing serious just going for a walk on a beautiful morning. I was shortly accosted by a park employee telling me to stop as I can be heavily fined for not having permission from the superintendent of the park in advance.
I laughed and after defusing the situation with some chit chat... I asked if you need permission to defecate on a provincial beach and/or polute OUR waters with religious idols.
20 minutes later I was handed a official permission letter by the superintendent of the park to metal detect anytime I fuckin want to.
It's all about the defusing! 😃
Full transparency. The gold ring I found yesterday is most likely either 14k to or 18k gold. I tend to get jacked tits when metal detecting. It’s stamped “solid gold” and is old. Judging by color I’m leaning towards 18k.
Either way I’m not selling 💪💪
As I tend to not sell 👀
@BankerWeimar I found a 1922 peace dollar a few years back metal detecting an old community garden from 1850. Added that to my 5 lbs of junk silver pile.
Before you knock on a door or swing a coil, learn to read the yard.
Our latest article explains how to identify a 1890 vs. 1955 yard in seconds.

When I was a kid I used to spend entire weekends metal detecting around old Boy Scout camps with the troop. Most of the time it was rusty tent stakes, soda tabs, and bottle caps, but one afternoon I dug up this heavy brass neckerchief slide from the 1950s buried down near an old tree. I still remember rubbing the dirt off, polishing it with some toothpaste and feeling like I’d uncovered buried treasure even though it was probably worth almost nothing to anyone else.
Funny thing is, I’ve chased that exact feeling ever since.
Watching this woman finally spot that tiny fleck of gold after hours in the dirt instantly brought me back to that moment. People who’ve never done this stuff think it’s about money, but it’s really about the hunt. The heat, the disappointment, the endless junk… then suddenly your brain lights up because you found something real hiding where thousands of people walked right past it.
What’s the coolest thing you’ve ever found buried in the dirt?
Another day, another incredible find from Picket Gold Prospecting 🤩 He truly never fails to impress with his metal detecting skills. Just look at these stunning gold specimen nugget he unearthed! It takes a keen eye, patience, and a bit of magic to consistently pull out beauties like these. Huge congrats, Nick, keep those golden signals coming! #MetalDetecting #GoldSpecimen #GoldNuggets #ProspectingLife #GoldHunter #NickTheLegend
