Reply to comment by quackertracker in Looking for places to metal detect by quackertracker

It's a great hobby. I usually hit up the beaches on the south coast right after big storms. A couple decades ago I found an 1841 $5 half eagle on some old farm land in South Kingstown that I had permission to detect on, unfortunately it's been turned into a housing development since then. The coin is in horrible shape, but it was a great find none the less.

I have only hit the beaches a few times but coincidentally I found this ring at Scarborough last week

I’ve had good luck in some of the public south shore fields too, just hoping to expand onto some unhunted private property….getting sick of digging shotgun shells by the bucket load.
