Talking To Old Timers and Locals
Old timers is the best source of leads. They are in your area and possess invaluable information that sometimes cannot be found in old books and newspapers. All you have to do is to ask them the right questions and be a good listener. For example, an old timer talks about the church bazaars held for years, and how that property is now scraped off and ready to be sold for a new shopping center. Be always respectful, courteous, and grateful for their kindness.
Some old timers might even take you to the location and point out to a treasure spot.
Fishermen and hunters also might disclose locations of potentially good treasure hunting sites in the area, where they fish and hunt.
You might obtain interesting information or, at least, a general direction to a potential metal detecting site from the locals too.
And do not forget about your relatives, neighbors, friends and co-workers. They all have experiences to share.
