I'm planning a coin garden to learn my new E-trac (Thank You Mike @ Woodlands).
I figure I'll put in some clad, a 40% Kennedy, a Franklin, an Ike, an old 10K ring, some pull tabs, a beer can or two, and some foil. I'll also include some general hardware like nuts, bolts and nails. This hsould give me a nice variety of tones and readings.
My questions are, how big should I make the area? How do you mark the specific target area? What is a good amount of targets to bury? Is it better to have somedoby else bury the targets and mark their general vacinity with a marker flag?
I've never made one before so I could use all the help I can get.
