Hunting ?'s ACE 250

If I was told I had to go out and I had to leave my ace 250 on one mode.....I would have to say Id have it on coins mode. It seems to work best with the ace 250 especially in hig trash areas. I want to find an old coin so bad. I seem to just find coins in the past 40 years.......Where is the best places to hunt for old coins ? Im thinking churches. Can a very very old coin be found at a park ?
Thx guys.

The first thing you have to remember is that the common detector has been around nearly 80 years and those places you think have never been touched have been touched a lot of times by the old time detectors where one had to dig everything because there was no discrimination or any of the features found on modern detectors so they didn't really leave much behind. Plus silver hasn't been circulated since 1964 and once it is recovered it is gone forever. It doesn't grow a new batch. HAA. And many folks think all old silver is buried halfway to China. It ain't. Most is well within the range of most machines produced over the years. Detectors haven't really advanced that much - just more gimmicks, bells, and whistles. There's a lot of old clubs out there that will hunt the snot out of most of this new, glitzy, stuff out there today. And the sad thing is silver gets scarcer every day. Once a guy finds three or four silvers they are gone forever never to be replaced.

Holy ground for sure, not a lot of bottle caps , pull tabs, and junk I would think, but i have never hunted church property. I have been hunting a property where there was 8 houses torn down at the same time , all of them from 1950's. Most coins I find are from the 1970's. Why cant I find the older coins? , and I did find a wheat penny from 1924, but where are the silvers DUH? I have found 2 mercury dimes and one roosevelt silver dime when I first started detecting , but nada since . In my opinion the best places to hunt are old houses that are still standing . In my little bit of experience the houses that have been knocked down and flattened are a lot more challenging , because of the demolition . Good luck
