Sports fields

Seat cushions at strip clubs. Just think of the lost change fortune you could get your hands on once you reach down and dig around!

I bet there's a real treasure at Treasure's just waiting to be found by you!

Take it to the store where you bought it and hope they will give you your money back.

Elementary school yards is where I started with my CZ-5. I found lots of coins, rings, bracelets, class rings,
Etc. kinda fun. After I got my machine tech down I started getting permission from farmers that had old homesteads on their place. There I found coins as well but much older stuff. Silver coins. From there we started researching small town history along the Brazos and stumbled on an old campground on the Brazos banks near Richmond. Found military coat buttons, militaria of various sorts. Anyway, just start somewhere and the rest will follow. Make sure you follow rules and get permission. I happened to be working a brand new subdivision along the Brazos where I got permission from a couple of future homeowners. Once youre in, you have run of the place until development is complete.

So cool. I did a very small amount of research on civil war camps in our area and didn't come up with much. Guess I should have dug deeper!
Have read about people having good luck finding old stuff on the tx city dike but the legality seems iffy.
I don't have the balls to go door knocking in old neighborhoods but you might, I have mostly hit parks in my 50s neighborhood. Poke around big old oak trees but prepare to be frustrated at signals that are under big roots. I also like poking around old rest stops when I'm driving a long way, but they are pull tab and bottlecap central.
I don't know why you'd go to a less-crowded beach to find stuff, the crowded beaches are where people drop stuff! You just need to go at less-crowded times...
oh and I don't know how old reb jr is but I have a blast MDing with my 3 year old, he has enjoyed hearing the machine "bonk" since he could first walk

These camps probably never made any books. We found a lot of musket balls which is how we dated what we found. We found musket balls that were pristine with patina and some that were smashed. Loved contemplating what poor souls or poor trees suffered at the end of that shot. The military buttons had "I" and some had "A" on them indicating artillery or infantry. Some had nothing. They were union soldier buttons if I recall. We lived near the Brazos river in Richmond. It's littered with historical sites. As I understand, many camps were set up on vends so they could communicate with other camps via line of site to warn of enemies. Not sure if that's true. Anyway, it wasn't earth shattering stuff but it was cool to simply realize that stuff happened there and it was important enough to have an army of some sort there.


The entire area we hunted is now directly beneath homes, roads and backyards and those people have zero clue it exists.


I used to spend a lot of time trekking up and done the river as a kid fishing and looking for arrowheads. I was made aware of campsites to hunt by stumbling across militaria that washed out of the bank where I walked. Anything under foot came from up above. It's cool and fun. It's a neat hobby. We never found anything excessively valuable but we had a hell of a lot fun.

There are some open fields off 45 near League City. No telling what you'll find.
