Vermont Coin Adventure: Seeking Out the Top LCS Spots

Planning My Coin Hunting Road Trip

I recently hit the road to Warren, Vermont with coins on my mind. As a collector, I had a feeling Vermont might hide some great shops, so I planned to scout the best local coin stores (LCS) without wandering too far off course. The Green Mountain State’s beauty – from historic spots to gorgeous scenery – just made the treasure hunt more rewarding.

Discovering Prime Coin Shops in Vermont

While hunting for trustworthy LCS spots, I focused on real-world tips to save time. Puro’s in Rutland kept popping up in recommendations as a good coin source, though I noticed it’d been over five years since anyone confirmed it was still operating. If you’re cruising through Rutland, swing by to browse their U.S. coins or bullion if they’re open. Give ’em a call first though – shops change hands or close, and you don’t want to waste precious hunting time.

Metal Detecting Insights on the Go

Mid-journey, I got permission to scan a property with my trusty Dr Otek detector. Learned fast that slowing down and dialing back the recovery speed works wonders in junk-filled spots. This trick helped me spot possible relics without overlooking details. For us collectors, metal detecting pairs nicely with coin hunting – you might uncover history! Just mind local rules and try quieter areas where treasures haven’t been picked clean.

Vermont’s Numismatic and Cultural Gems

Beyond shops, Vermont’s history feeds our collecting passion. I stopped at the Bennington Battle Monument where old documents and artifacts had me imagining colonial-era coins. Breaks at spots like Warren Falls let me reflect while tasting maple syrup – a reminder that coin collecting connects us to place and time. These moments showed me the hobby isn’t just about stores; it’s about walking through history with open eyes.

A Few Tips for Your Next Hunt

• Check coin forums for LCS leads before traveling, but always phone ahead – info goes stale fast
• With metal detecting, slow and steady wins the race. Tweak those settings, because even basic detectors like my Dr Otek can deliver thrills
• Weave historical sites into your route. They’ll spark ideas about coin eras and sometimes offer relic-hunting chances
• Treat yourself to local experiences – like Vermont’s maple treats – to make the adventure more fun
