I was finally able to find a Buffalo Nickel and two Wheat Pennies using my CTX3030 this past weekend. The three coins were no more than 4 inches deep.
Whenever I find a tool to help locate older treasure I like to pass it along to others especially when it is free of cost.
The first link above is a picture of a link for finding Sanborn Maps, which are free and a great tool to use when looking for older sites to metal detect.
This is a description of what Sanborn maps are: "The Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps Online Checklist provides a searchable database of the fire insurance maps published by the Sanborn Map Company housed in the collections of the Geography and Map Division. The online checklist is based upon the Library's 1981 publication Fire Insurance Maps in the Library of Congress and will be continually updated to reflect new acquisitions. The online checklist also contains links to existing digital images from our collection and will be updated as new images are added. If you have any questions, comments, or are interested in obtaining reproductions from the collection, please Ask A Librarian.
To date, over 6000 sheets are online in the following states: AK, AL, AZ, CA, CT, DC, GA, IL, IN, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MS, NC, NE, NH, NJ, NV, OH, PA, TX, VA, VT, WY and Canada, Mexico, Cuba sugar warehouses, and U.S. whiskey warehouses."
Happy hunting and I hope all of you who read this post find Sanborn Maps useful for helping you locate older treasure finds.
