Default A great Book/ Where to find treasure

Went to Augusta, GA today and found a store that deals in Whites detectors. I looked at magazines and books and found a great book written by Dick Stout Where to Find Treasure. I thought I would share some site Ideas for newbies and members looking for Places to hunt.

Schools City/Town Parks
circus/fair site old churches
old homesites Swimming holes
Picnic groves Fleamarket sites
beaches Scout camps
Ghost towns Camp grounds
Rodeo arenas Roadside rest stops
Revival site Grassy sidewalk strips
Rural mailboxes Amusement parks
Fort sites Reunion areas
fishing holes Lookout/overlook sites
General stores Outhouses
Resort areas Hotels
Barns Outbuildings
Band shells Racetracks
Battle sites Courthouses
Farmers markets Rural boundary Walls
College Campuses Under seaside boardwalks
Ski slopes Sledding area
Drive inn movies Vacant lots
Canal Paths Town squares
Skating Ponds Disaster sites
Hunting lodges Hunting camps
Mining Camps Construction sites
Lovers lane Rural back and front yards
rural dance site old gas station
Railroad stations and junction
Historical markers Old farms
Around telephone booths
Around Parking meters
Around tire air pumps

Hope this helps a bit. Good luck and happy Hunting

Good Book GG. Had one when I bought my DFX. Borrowed it to some one and haven't seen it since. I do have 2 copies of How to Find Treasure by Charles Garrett so if anyone would like one just PM me with an adress and I will send it out to You. Can never have enough Info even if it's just a refresher or reminder. Thanks for Posting that as I'm sure it will help someone !
