Metal Detecting - Parking Lot Prospecting with neswiper - http://www.metaldetectorx.com - To boldly go where no metal detector has gone before. I've had it with all of these hunted out areas. It's time to get clever about the hunt. I've found security holes in the charactor of the common metal detector owner. Pride. Peer pressure. Belief in narrow concepts...
How's This? People go metal detecting to get away from the public. The average metal detector does not want people watching them. This is why all the goods are either in the parking lot or right next to it. They don't like to fight the trash associated with the edge of parking lots. If you have ever tried chipping away at the compact earth beneath the rocks and gravel of a parking lot, you know it is not easy. BUT, as a whole, the whole process is often quicker than digging and filling a 6 inch hole in the dirt.
I'll be off to the hardware store to get a mini pick-axe the size of a hand digger. Likely some safety glasses as well. I have a feeling I am going to be pulling mad TREASURE out of these gravel / rock parking lots. As my theory now boldly suggests, parking lots have the highest concentration of good targets, second only to a crowded public beach. In the parking lot, It's so obvious most of the good targets fall right where people step out of their cars.
What's up with the dates of the coins from the lot? 1960 - 2000 out of 25 coins. Seems pretty close to the results of common dirt digging in my area. Time will tell.
Another video this evening. I am on a mission. I firmly believe with a positive attitude, that I will be back with some form of gold or other respectable treasure. We'll see. - neswiper

I thought I was the only one hitting those areas. Usually not my first choice of spots but I will hit parking areas if I get skunked at my spot and I really feel the need to find and dig something before I leave. Parking areas are always productive but you have to work a little harder. Never found silver in one yet, Very Nice! JJ
I tried the parkinglot prospecting here near my house, in a huge gravel lot at a park, had a hour to play around when i had two fellas from the park warning me it was illegal to MD on overnment property, because it was game and fish preoperty, needless to say i didnt argue, and thanked them, for letting me know, man i was doin great, made one pass 100ft long and found a pockt full, but damn, its like no one wants you anywhere with a MD, sucks, great vid tho!
congrats on the silver ring & all the coins. i never though about detecting a parking lot like that so thanks for sharing. keep up the good work. good luck in the future. hh
