  Shocked this pol is to find out what you think of ghosttown metal detecting and the prospect of  finding good relics and valuables! Fight

   A few of us went detecting in a old town (goast town) called awanka, a town in South Dakota.  We found a silver spoon.  It was exciting.

I think that ghost towns in general bear a higher chance of finding relics however many of them have been detected all over with little to nothing left.

Christian

I can let my imagination run wild at what might have been, even tho the finds may be few and of little value, I think of the old timers and their trials, troubles, Yes to me it's just the  ULTIMATE,  here's some finds at an old place in the western US mountains, junk, =but the stories it could tell if it could talk Detecting

I agree with you Bugar ,,you just never know  what you will find at a ghost town no site is ever hunted out .many old towns are the long forgotten,, homesteads in the middle of nowhere are just waiting to be  Detecting many a lost prospectors gold lay where he died waiting to be found ,,,,,,,,,,,,damn i cant wait for spring

I think ghost towns can still have potential. Really depends on the size of the town among other factors. Just like gold nugget patches rarely get worked out- the same applies to ghost towns. A lot of relics,coins,etc are missed because they might be too deep- get mixed up with other junk and discriminated out,etc. Just like the nugget patches- better technology keeps uncovering good finds. Of course at some point in time- they will become worked out but I really believe we have yet to reach that point with most ghost towns.

By the way- most people associate ghost towns with western states and that's a false assumption. There's plenty of ghost towns in Mid and Eastern USA.

ghost towns in canada have lots to offer, but one has to do a lot of reasearch, in finding a map or something letting you know wear it once sat, i have found a couple here in B.C. on vancouver island, and not much left letting you know wear the houses once sat, need the snow to go now so i can get back there and look for more,, still lots of fun,,, Cheesy
