The red circle areas should be the better places to check metal detecting. Here is from my file, general definition for these types of marked spots.

Red circle is to mark areas, of loose or surface coins/treasure and artifacts of value, down to 1-2 feet deep.
Red line box for very deep coins/treasure or artifacts of value.
Green line boxes in general for various other targets, mostly archaeological such as old ruins or foundations but especially non-metallic objects like flint arrowheads, bottles, pottery, and carved stone markers.

Thank you for your response. I'm excited to get out and see what I find. In the first photo towards the top there are various piles of bricks to hint that something used to be there, old structure or possible old brick kilns in an old river bottom.

That could explain all the light green line rectangles for archaeological signals. Did you mean the 1st map you posted or of my posted maps? Looks like both have plenty of them, but your 1st one they are in the upper 2/3 portion.

A gold/silver only search, can reduce the number of targets, sometimes locate new or missed signals....except where placer gold is a problem. Blue for silver, orange gold signals.

No doubt, you already metal detected your own property a lot. Sometimes rocks can be in the way or brush, even trash will mask signals. Orange circles shallower gold (down to 1-2 ft), blue silver, red coins/artifacts of value.

I've used L-rods in Arizona and New Mexico before, but not Texas. If you mean map dowsing, yes plenty of times.

How is that sometimes ya'll can determine what type of material is holding a cache? And sometimes not?
