Yes, trees are the go. Had a small buzz around at work yesterday. Walked straight up to a tree and ding, a coin (5 cent piece). The main man there said he would move the posts lying under there so i could check the tree properly.

WAY TO GO!!!!! Looks like the areas that you are hitting do not get much "detecting time" by others... lucky you! I am planning a lunch detect today during my lunch break if I can. It's been WAY too long since my last detect.

I have been spending a bit of time researching for a good spot to check and I will try and hit that spot today... hope to find some old coins!

go hard goldnut every tree every ding all the time.
(thats my motto anyway)

nothing left you would be surprised what you
will find,i keep every thing, good luck may your
next ding be a big gold ring!
