Metal detecting in the central Pa area, York Co specifically? Any good not so trashy areas or should I just sell my Fisher? Any Pa laws I need to be aware of outside of common sense?

Too bad they really frown on it at the Gettysburg battlefield.....probably some really nice pieces underground among those fields and woods........
Yeah, most of that stuff will never be dug up.... rusting to nothing.
Id LOVE a day between Devils Den & Lil Roundtop.
Check your hips, knees and brain housing group old fart...plenty metal there I'll bet.
Prolly rusty though... All that salt.

Heck, there are probably still missing bodies in that area.......
Ain't no doubt about that but they won't be picked up. (by me anyway)
Beaches after a big storm are the best from what i hear .
I'll have to try that, think I might find a dinosaur tooth with a filling in York County?

I know this may be a good bit away from you but this park you can collect fossils at the beach .

Two days before Gettysburg was the (tiny by comparison) Battle of Hanover.
Hell, it's not impossible that there's a remnant or two right in your back yard.

Isn't there gold in some of the stream valleys in York County?

There is a lot of gold in the streams in York county. Look it up. The issue will be finding a spot that isn't on private property. Tons and Tons of spots to metal detect and stuff. Google gold mining in York county.
The battlefield today
The fighting in Hanover is commemorated by "The Picket," an impressive bronze statue of a mounted cavalryman sculpted by famed Boston artist Cyrus E. Dallin. Paid for by the state of Pennsylvania,
DAMN!

Most places are hunted out. When I was a kid my Dad and I would go out all the time and find some great stuff.
Can you narrow it down just a tad?
I thought the lead had left your pencil a long time ago...

Hunted an old yard last week. Was only small area not renovated or paved over but, found a 1900 Nickel. Was cool finding something 115 years old.
