When detecting for coins, relics or jewelry, use your imagination – anywhere people are likely to have left things behind – you are likely to make good finds! Also, don’t forget the places right under your feet; you never know what you might dig up even in your own backyard. To help get you started here is a list of locations that are generally more productive for finding coins, relics or jewelry:

• Showgrounds and racecourses
• Picnic areas
• Battlefields
• Camping grounds
• Swimming holes
• Parks, playgrounds and school yards
• Ploughed fields
• Pastures
• Woodlands
• Ghost towns and ancient town sites
• Old homes and public buildings
• Sports grounds
• Beaches
• Jetties and piers

There is still plenty of treasure to be found in many interesting locations around the world.
