metal detecting in NJ or Pa
Most of the canal has been filled in in my area. There is a few spots where you can hunt along the old towpath. Most of the older houses are off limits but I am working on getting permission to hunt a few of the old farms and houses that date back to the 1700's.
I'll drive 2 hrs to go coin as long as the place was from 1800 or ealy 1900's. Just trying to find places that are old but you dont need permission. I'm new to this hobby and I dont want to have any problem's with anyone.
I also live in Pa and feel the delaware canal is a great place to hunt as long as its dried up. it was in use from 1831 to 1931 and runs almost 60 miles.
What part of PA and NJ are you looking to hunt in? I am in The NY, NJ,PA area in western Orange County. There are quite a few places to go since there were quite a few historical events ( Indian Raids and Indian wars sites) There are also quite a few houses from the 17 and 1800's . The hardest part is getting permission to search.
Old tow path is that in Easton pa?
