gravel easments on busy highway

[Cumberland County]

anyone ever swing these with any success, I figure as much trash as they throw out once in a while a ring or watch or bracelet might go with the pop can..........after all they should be penalized for trashing the area, curious if anyone hunts these area's...........I understand the safety side

I swing a lot on broken rock low water reservoir where they swim and get penny's out the wazoo...........I guess the liberty .50 cent piece makes me go back & go back lol

Hey CC... I have good friend who takes inmates from the prison he is a guard to gather the trash along the highway... he has told me of all kinds of things they have found... tool boxes...wallets...pocketbooks... knives and even a gun...kinda scary with the inmates...but they are minimal security to be out there...around here interstate highways no foot traffic so you may get some hastle from the authorites...and keep the eyes open in the back of you're head welcome to TQ!

I have not hunted those. I will be honest not sure I would. The way folks drive today? I dunno I would be worried some nut might hit me, Beale.

I would be with Beale on that one,..Might be a lot of cool stuff out there, but you might get run over trying to get it....Buster.....

Little detectorist< busy street, Big truck, Mince meat. I would be very cautious, The finds may not be worht your life.

We built a new church a few years ago and as part of a ceremony moving into it, a group of us walked from the old to the new, part of it along a fairly busy road. Being a detectorist, I was noticing what was on the ground. Nothing that I'd want to pick up but alot that would give signals. Same goes for working on an adopted highway, it just doesn't seem worth the risk or the effort to dig through hard packed gravel.

Just my 2 cents.
