IMHO not only are ATV trails easy ways to travel deep into the woods but might also indicate hot detecting spots. In my area ATVs are popular. The trails are often deep ruts where the wheels are and higher dirt to both sides and in the middle of the ruts. The ATVs kick stuff up in the ruts and often throw it to the middle and sides. So you can often see with your eyes the type of material thrown up and/or use your detector to find something closer to the surface kicked up by the ATV. I find spots with lots of broken colored bottle glass and window glass are good sites. This works for me and I hope it may help you too. HH. Matt

Game trails, hiking trails, ATV trails, jeep trails, closed Forest Service roads...but I especially like 
at the end of the trail. Also, trailheads are where people park their vehicles, tie up the horses, open the hatchback to unload gear, heave up the backpack, and on and on. Pay particular attention to fire rings, river crossings, and any other indications that camping & fishing were done along the trail in the distant past.
Just leave something for me to find along the trail! Guess the term 'Happy Trails' applies to us MD'ers.
