I had been thinking about this for a while now.  In fact, I have a demolished house just a bit over 100 years old in my front yard.  I have gone out there before, but I think there has got to be something out there. The house was pushed over a hill and into a old pond.  But, the old pond's levee broke a while back, so it is empty, of course.

Anyways.  I wasn't sure if anyone had any specific techniques with homes that had been demolished, vs. ones that still stand.  Which ones seem to produce more?

I hadn't checked the side of the hill yet, where some treasures may be waiting.  I am planning to do a quick few hours sweep to see what comes up. 

I would think that most things would be damaged.  But, I see advantages to it and disadvantages.  Oh, and the house was demolished in 1996 to be exact.

Thanks for any info in advance.

Old empty deserted houses, churches and schools even farms are well worth searching as well as old pubs. In the old days I used to get behind the counters and often found a lot of loose change that had fell in between cracks in the flooring a couple of gold sovereings too. There was an old deserted house that I cound three silver spoons in front of the steps leading up to the entrance.
They bought me in a nice $60 from an antique dealer as they were made in 1850 the year of the gold rush in Australia.
On one occassion when on holiday in my mobile home I was asked to try to find a ring that the woman had thrown into an open field after a blue (argument) with her husband.  I gridded the area with no luck had a cuppa tea and returned to the area and found it $25 was my reward so who said detecting doesnt pay its a hell of a lot of fun too.
I also used to advertise to help to fing rings that had been lost in the water and i always asked the person to draw a picture of the ring before I took up the challenge.  In a way it helped me search area's I had never been too before and the $25 an hour meant I was doing what I loved best and being paid for it too.
