Aloha State

GOLD

Unfortunately, we were unable to find any record of naturally occurring gold in Hawaii. The good news though, is that there is probably more gold jewelry on the beaches of Hawaii than the entire western or eastern coast of the continental US. While researching this state, we were also unable to find any metal detecting clubs, websites, or any other indication that metal detecting is regularly conducted here - at least at the rate it's done in the rest of the country. This is certainly good news though: You have a gold mine waiting for you!

RELICS, COINS, & JEWELRY

Hawaii has been the #1 popular tourist destination of wealthy Americans and Asians for more than a hundred years. Hawaii also has a rich history of early settlements and battle sites - the perfect combination for an energetic relic hunter! From Captain Cook's voyages to early American colonists, there is a wealth of old coins, gold jewelry, and old artifacts. Just to get you started, here's a few other ideas:

Schools and College Campuses
Parks / Playgrounds / Picnic Areas
Foundations, Wells, and Cellar Holes of Old Churches or Houses
Downtown Construction Sites
Swimming Holes, Beaches, and Natural Springs
Camp Grounds, Boy Scout Camps, and WPA Camps
Sports Facilities
Ghost Towns
Rodeo Arenas, Riding Stables, and Race Tracks
Old Fair and Carnival Locations
Old Town Dumpsites
