Howdy All. I went with a friend to an old house site in the woods. The house doesn't show up on the local 1920 map. If it hadn't been for the daffodils, we probably wouldn't have found it. Both chimneys are down and no sign of wood left. We found lots of broken cast iron pots and cast farm tools but no coins or buttons. My best finds were a hand forged hoe and a R. Esterbrooks & co # 1 pen nib. My friend found a nice early spoon. I am using a Tesoro Compadre and he is using a 1970s Whites Coinmaster. It seems logical to me that the large pieces of cast would be in the top 6 inches just because they are to bulky to sink. Would the coins or smaller stuff be deeper? I recently traded for a Garrett GTAX 550 with the 12 1/2 inch Deepseeker coil and the 4 inch sniper coil. I have used it some for coin hunting in parks but am not as comfortable with it as i am the Compadre. Should i try it at this site and which coil would you use? Thanks Steve
