BEGINNERS GUIDE ON HOW TO RESEARCH METAL DETECTING SITES | STEP BY STEP WALK THROUGH

[@oldskool70iverson]

This "Historical Aerials" tip rocks! As a former land surveyor, trail runner, hiker in the Pikes Peak region, it's time to search with all the spots I've come across over the decades. Bought my first metal detector this week & looking forward to the hunt. This tip should amplify my hunches. Thank you!

[@5280Adventures]

Awesome. Good luck and dig it all

[@brianjames3305]

Thank you for the very helpful info. I live in Austin and metal detecting is banned pretty much everywhere here so learning how to research and find property owners for permission is the only option. Thank god we are moving back to Colorado in a couple of weeks! The ground is the other hurdle here and it’s impossible to dig unless heavy rains give us a pre soak.

This video was such a huge help for me, thank you so much! My name is Charles & I recently became a beginner at detecting medal & I have been searching on how to properly research areas to find good hunting spots. This video gave me such wonderful branches to work from & I appreciate it so much! Happy hunting!

[@5280Adventures]

I am so very glad to hear about this. I made this video in hopes of helping detectorists with their research so we can all enjoy this hobby. I love hearing that I have been a help to you. If you wish, send me some pics of your finds to my email address listed in my about section of this channel. I love seeing and hearing about your success stories. Thank you!

[@johnalldredge1285]

Very informative.

[@5280Adventures]

Glad it was helpful!

[@carlsowell8099]

Thank you for the info. Not real good with the computer but I will be going over and over and over until I get it straight in my head. Thanks again for the video

[@joebrown1382]

This video is worth a million. I have uploaded my town. I'll be searching. I'll check my county next. Thanks Tony so valuable.

[@5280Adventures]

Youre welcome Joe. There is tons of information out there to research. Have fun!

[@jspreparednessandself-reli4856]

Nice work The history of that site is outstanding. and that’s an awesome site to hunt!

[@digging6068]

Great job Tony, excellent research and it's as rewarding to connect the dots and find a site sometimes as it is to find the relics. GL& HH

[@5280Adventures]

Fingers crossed I can get on it and recover some history!

[@hoosierhillbilly2295]

Great video 5280. Very informative. It's videos like these that really help beginners such as myself. Greatly appreciated buddy hope all is well. Good luck out there.

[@5280Adventures]

I hoped it helped open some eyes as to how to research. There is endless info out there. You just have to find it.

[@cynthiaherr9029]

Great info. I will definitely do researching today, our weather has finally turned for the good..(Michigan) You take care and have a great day..Good Luck

The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) was a public work relief program that operated from 1933 to 1942 in the United States for unemployed, unmarried men.

[@5280Adventures]

Not many know about it

[@joebrown1382]

Us old guys do.

[@nepahistoryandarchaeologys8623]

Thanks for posting this, very helpful info, going to give it a try for my area. Good luck with trying to gain access, looks like a great place to hunt. Keep us posted! Take care, GL and HH!

[@5280Adventures]

Thank you very much for watching. And trust me, if I get permission it will be a great follow up video.

[@imdiggingit202]

great video & very informative. i ain't gonna lie. if the owner of that land was in florida then i'd be helping myself to detecting it.

[@joebrown1382]

On my father-in-laws farm in Indiana the CCC planted a huge grove of Locust trees which were meant for fence posts after they've grown.

[@5280Adventures]

That is so cool. Don't let anyone forget the history of this country.

[@505adventures5]

Thank you for sharing.. where you are looking at I use to go 4wheeling in that area... I know that place well

[@5280Adventures]

We need to get that permission and find all the treasure!

[@marshlandoutdoors2592]

Great video and very informational

[@5280Adventures]

I hope it helps out some diggers. Thanks for watching.

[@PartTimeDetector]

This was really useful, I used this sight but never knew how to use all the gadgets! Thank you!

[@5280Adventures]

And its free!!!

[@WaynJul]

Some good information. In Texas the land owners are always worried about being sued.

[@5280Adventures]

That is a legitimate concern. There are some liability waivers in some metal detecting forums that I have seen. It sounds lame but you can always present that to them in return for the permission. Even it returns one good location, it is worth it. Good luck!

[@ShirlBussman]

Very Interesting, Tony. Really great info for lots of things. Thanks for sharing.

[@5280Adventures]

Thanks Shirl. I really enjoy the research side but I still have a ton to learn about it as well.

[@RickWDonovan]

Thank you for the video, great research tool.

Great info I have a few permisions I am working on. I know 2 are gonna have a ton of trash I am going to clear first just gotta order my detector so I can get started. Hope to hunt with you, DK, and NCRC one day.

[@5280Adventures]

Cool John. We can all try and get together and recover that history!

[@johnboysantics7799]

5280 Adventures just learning you tube so not sure how it all works just yet. Didn't know you had replied and I think you are my first subscriber. Thanks as soon as I have a detector I'll contact you.

[@kennycarson1960]

Wow thats very informative. Ive always wondered how to search land owners. Really helpful video thanks for sharing.

[@5280Adventures]

Absolutely. Im glad I can give you one way to find the owners. I hope this helps and happy hunting!

[@quasimobile-thedairylanddi8266]

Excellent advice...thank you very much!

[@5280Adventures]

Thanks. I hoped it help some.

[@kentshistoricadventuresks1235]

Great video. I do my research the same way. I enjoy that part almost as much as the hunt. 👍🍀🤙🏻

[@5280Adventures]

Amen to that. People are amazed at how much I know about this entire state. I have studied old maps for Colorado for a long time and if I only had the time and the permissions to hunt it all! Thanks for watching.

[@BrianClunie]

Good information to know!

[@5280Adventures]

Outstanding. I hope it helps in unlocking some new sites for you. Enjoy

[@kirkwestphal6467]

Thanks for sharing.Great video. I usually use google earth to locate old cabins.Historical Aerials maps is great,glad I watched your video! I used it on a site I just found recently and has helped a lot. GL&HH Eric

[@5280Adventures]

Anytime there sir. I hope you find some little unknown nuggets out your way!

[@AdventuresInDirt]

Tony, what are you doing giving away all our secrets? Top notch video man. Great Job. 👍

[@5280Adventures]

Nobody pays attention to me anyways. No worries.

[@txtiger6927]

something 'bout snitches, ditches and stitches

[@IffySignals]

Good Stuff Tony.. thanks

[@5280Adventures]

Thank you. I hope it helps!

[@MtnManJack]

Informative! Thanks for sharing - happy hunting my friend.

[@KathrynKandSVarietyShop]

nice video

[@5280Adventures]

Thank you Kathryn. I appreciate the support.

[@OldiesGoodies]

Great Job Tony same tools I use to find long forgotten home sites in my area. I also use Maprika and acme mapper as added Material to help.. But you know the topo maps dont go that far back on most cases on the Program which back in the day you could go to the local Deeds office for that county and they have topos going back long before the 1900's. That is how we use to research before the computer age. lol.. Just throwing that at ya. Other things is the Library on the old fishe Micro films of the times on News print helps out as well for ideas of picnic groves and gatherings of people.. You know old Social Media.. Hehehe Lol. the town might of put that up on the internet by now and a great resource to help with finding off the beaten trail Locations..... Anyways any Research will help... Thanks Great Video now I dont have to make a video on it.. Happy Hunting AL

[@5280Adventures]

There are so many ways to research for these towns we live in. Most people have no idea of the history or stories of where we all live. Take the time and learn and if you can hunt it, go for it. If you cant get permission, you have some great stories. Thanks for the comment Al. Take care.

[@OldiesGoodies]

Thanks Tony goodluck happy Hunting Man

[@beardednomadvanlife6363]

ccc was the president putting people to work during the great depression my grandpa did it in Pennsylvania planting pines and such

[@5280Adventures]

Great program during that time and a great spot to detect if its on private and you can get permission. Thank for watching.

[@rodrigovigants2195]
