Virginia Metal Detector

Hi everyone, I am really enjoying all of the wonderful stories on this forum. I was wondering if anyone could help me? I am trying to find a spot near Springfield, Va to go detecting. So far, no luck! Thanks for all your help!

Never been in your neck of the woods but I'd suggest
: parks, soccer fields (around side lines where people sit),Blechers at ball parks or schools, schools (find out where high school kids hang out...like a smoking area or picnic table areas).Find a nice small beach area that has a high volume of folk's. Vacant lots that had buildings demolished. Old farm houses.

Remember to ask permission where needed.

Cheers!
