Hi Gregg,
No ghost towns around here, but lots of fields with abandoned homes, parks, and the beach. Anyplace civil war related is completely off limits unless it's private land and you get permission.
I'm certain to use the stock coil on the beach, but had wondered if the mid sized 9.5x5 DD or 10x5.5 DD coils would be useful here. I can't find the 9.5x5 DD coil available anywhere, but kellyco appears to have the 10x5.5 in stock. I don't know if there is any performance difference, but I understand the 9.5x5 is an open design, while the other is closed.
There is a YouTube hunter from nearby Virgina Beach that always posts videos of his hunts in local fields. I'm going to try and contact him and see if he'll let me tag along.
