Maybe you're one of those lucky people who received a metal detector as a gift during the holidays and have grown weary of searching the park in your town. If so, did you ever consider searching abandoned houses, ranch houses and barns to locate treasure? Treasures of every sort await you when you venture forth with your detector to explore abandoned farms, ranch houses and barns. Coins, folding money, jewelry and collectables can be yours for the taking when you find a hidey hole stuffed with treasure that was left behind by the former occupants. Today, the Midwest and the West account for most of the nation's abandoned farms and ranches. Not only have farms and ranches been abandoned in the past few years due to poor economic conditions, there were thousands of farms and ranches that were abandoned for one reason or another during the late 1800s and again in the 1930s.
