The low lake I went to looked like a mine field so many had been there before me, I got a lousy 4 pennies..
Early birds got the good stuff and left there holes..
Look for spots that don't look very inviting to most detectorists. If you go to the main parts, chances are someone else has already hit it and got most of the loot. Those out of the way spots can produce quite nicely sometimes. When swim season starts again. make a trip out and see where the people go that is not the main swim area. I see detectorists do that all of the time, not just at lakes, but parks too. They jump out of the car and head right for the tot lots, whatever attracts the most activity. After a short while of finding little or nothing, off they go. Meanwhile, I'm hunting anywhere but those tot lots and raking in the loot.
Thanks BCD,
Even better, I won't take the guy that insisted we hunt that area..lol..
