I spent the day picking up hundreds of rusty nails under a bridge to open up the ground so we could detect it. There was so many nails that we found a Indian penny and a barber dime on top of the ground and the detector couldn't see them plus a hole bunch of clad. I made a small video of the hunt but the hunt is not over so ill be posting more soon. Its kind of scary that in a yard where you think there should be some silver and nothing comes up but you see a lot of chatter on the machine that you are using may mean you will never see it.
