Join one of the clubs-you'll get access to good sites and access to lots of expertise.
I never found anything valuable but had lots of fun.
Look up the sites of old country fairs etc. There's one in Brindle where there was a cross country horse race with a fair, didn't find anything but didn't spend long enough there. The fun was finding an old man in the village who remembered it and where it was. He told us some interesting stories, again part of the fun.
The old country fairs were usually in farmers field so they might give you permission.
Try beaches, drop something in the sand and it needs a metal detector to find it. Found money and the odd ring there(cold makes fingers shrink,rings loose).
