Hi there, my name is Viper, I am 13yrs old and I have just got my first metal detector.  Im super psyched to use it but cannot find a "legal" and safe place to go hunting with it.  I live on the Westrand.  If anyone can suggest some good places for me to search please help...

25 Best Metal Detecting Sites
Treasure MapWhile there are literally hundreds of places to use your metal detector to find coins, rings, jewelry, gold, relics, and even real buried and hidden treasures, you must keep one important piece of information in mind - You must go where people have been, where they lived, where they worked and played. From as far back as you can find to even today - What are people doing? Where do they work and play? What places do they visit?

People lose coins, rings, jewelry, and other treasures everywhere they go. All kinds of valuables are lost or hidden for safekeeping. Many valuable treasures are buried and, for unknown reasons, the owners never come back to retrieve them. All these millions of coins and tens of thousands of dollars in rings and jewelry have never been found!

All the sites listed below are ones that have been submitted by our valued customers and members of the Kellyco Test Team who are devoted treasure hunters. Happy hunting and good luck on your metal detecting adventures!

Parks
Schoolyards
Playgrounds
Fairgrounds
Picnic Areas
Recreational Vehicle Parks
Amusement Parks
Carnival Sites
Swimming Areas such as Lakes and Rivers

Hope this helps. Dont forget that some places you will need to get permission.

Howzit!!!

Florida lake is close by. If you can catch the market stand area on an empty day you should get some interesting stuff. Havn't tried the main area yet, there should be some oldies in those lawns.
