Where should I start metal detecting, treasure hunting, or coin shooting?
In your backyard! It is a good place to practice the techniques after reading your manual, you know, that book of instructions that came with the detector. Once you gain some confidence in using the detector, head on over to the nearest elementary school (with permission) and put your newly acquired skills to work. Why an elementary school? Because kids tend to lose money on the playground. Finding new coins will get you use to how your detector responds and sounds, plus you can practice your digging techniques. Once you are confident in using your detector, read the article “Where to go Coin Shooting”.
