Expect lots of trash (i.e. metal siding fragments, cans, etc) so if you have a small coil, take it with your.  Be sure you have proper permission, and take care not to damage structures.   You'll find some interesting relics and possibly some nice coins.

If those Locations are on Federal, State or Forest lands, don't be forgetting about the 1906 antiquities act!

A square nail can cost you big bucks.

You don't have that specific law, but I'm pretty sure you have some similar antiquities law (or laws).    The point is make sure you check and if there is such a law, be prepared for some rather capricious applications/interpretations of it.

(and if you do go, eyeballin' is important....most glassware won't turn up with a detector any better than a pair of Levis.)
