Metal Detecting In Southern Mn

I received a few e-mails this week regarding metal detecting in Southern Mn. A person has to use the same concept as if you were metal detecting in Northern Minnesota. I like parks best,and campsites,and where people associated with another.Such as picnics,gatherings,and events. This part of the state is farm country,and I've been metal detecting this area,and farms can be a challenge.There is just so much junk in the ground,that it becomes majorly frustrating. I guess I could some it up,a good spot is where you find it. If you have a cheaper detector,just know you'll have a long day digging up iron nails,and various other farm artifacts that are classified in the "junk department". I've been in the St James Mn area,and explored some around Manakto.There is alot of ground to cover down here,and some locations are clearly better than others of course,and that rule applies where ever you may be metal detecting in Minnesota.
