You may want to re-think your road trip.
If you knew San Antonio you would. Most of the area is off limits to metal detecting without a permit. You are not allowed to detect in the parks/schools/beaches/lakes and most private areas/properties. They are off limits as well.
If you own the property you may get away with it if you use a little discretion.
Head phones, night time, friends who own the property may be able to help you.
I only know of one nice find made by a friend, who had relatives there. She found a Republic of Texas dime in her grandmothers neighbors yard.
Golddiggers suggestions may be of some help but the city limits are quite broad down there.
The Hispanic population there do not want you in their neighborhood..........PERIOD!
My family has detected there many years ago and found out quick about the laws governing the use of metal detectors.
Just remember the private property hint and always seek permission. Permission may have to come in the form of a permit through a public office. Anything you find that may have some historical significance is subject to forfeiture,without compensation or even recognition. They are quite strict there.
So to sum up my suggestions, go elsewhere.
It is not worth the effort you have to put into it and put up with.
PS: We did not find anything worth our efforts when it was legal to use a metal detector back in the 60's. Just a few newer silver coins.
Also don't expect a desert environment you may be dissapointed. It is an oasis there really beautiful. The Alamo proper is in the down town area and is a park. Really not much to see unless you like to look at bullet holes in stone walls. All that is left of the Alamo is the Chapel and a few stone common areas.
