Hidden Treasure: Where to find it, how to get it

In the early part of April of this year I purchased a Pioneer 202. Having never detected before, I was very unsure of what to do, where to go and what the Pioneer would do. The manual that came with the Pioneer was very easy to understand for someone that had never done this before. I like the Pioneer because it can be a turn on and go or you can fine-tune your Pioneer to discriminate between trash or treasure very easily. It really is a turn on and go machine for a rookie or a veteran detectorist. The quality and ease of operation and of course the price cannot be beat anywhere, plus the 5-year warranty is great also. As I stated earlier, I have just started to detect this spring and my luck has been out of this world, I would never had expected this many great finds in such a short of time. Locations of my hunts, such as ghost towns from the mid 1850’s have really helped in the quality and quantity of my finds. Research is the first step in good places to hunt, then getting permission to hunt. Then you can do the easy part of putting coins and relics in your pockets. My Clad total for 3 months is about $ 60.00 that may not seem like much but this total is from trying to learn my Pioneer very early in the spring in preparation for the older spots that I had planned to hunt this summer. So far my silver finds have been, (3) V nickels, (2) Indian head nickels, (10) Barber Dimes, (1) 1906 Canadian Dime, (2) Seated Dimes, (5) Mercury Dimes, (4) Barber Quarters, (1) Seated Quarter, (1) Barber Half, (1) Franklin Half, (2) Morgan Dollars, (1) Mexican Peso, (13) Pre 1970 Quarters, (30) Pre 1970 Dimes, (11) Indian head pennies, (1) 1952 Canadian penny, and (53) Wheat pennies. I also have found a bag of sugar that was hidden in a metal lid box in the ceiling of my GGG uncles' house. The date on the 10 lb. bag says that it was made in 1836 in San Francisco, CA by Sea Island. I have also found 4 rings for my wife, which makes her as happy to get them from me as it was for me to find them. This is only a partial listing of my finds but you will get a good idea how exciting and rewarding this hobby really is. If you try this hobby once I think that you will be hooked for life. Bounty Hunter has made history come to life for me, now it is your turn to find your own piece of history. Eddie D.Dannar Bethany Mo.
