When I first started, alittle over 5 months ago, I was mainly looking for old silver coins.
Here lately, I'll dig just about any signal except iron, ain't got that desperate yet...
So, I voted " Anything & Everthing

The snow is melting sooooo slow here... it's been on the ground since the day after Christmas! So the only place I've had to detect is on the side of the street in front of my house and a little area around the driveway! So far I've found 4 pennies, 14 nails, 4 screws, 2 nuts, 3 bolts, 3 pieces of wire, 2 pull tabs, 2 cans, 1 bottle cap, 1 unknown piece of metal and various gum wrappers, candy wrappers and foil! At least I'm learning my detector! Pretty soon I'll have enough nails to build a house though! ::) I did find a nickle and 6 pennies in a parking lot...just by sight..no detector with me that day! I do pay more attention to what is on the ground now..since I bought my detector!

If you hunt in Canada, you gotta dig every damn signal.. All Canadian coins show as 'iron' except the old silver ones.. At least you know when you have silver.. All our modern coins are magnetic as well, except for pennys (the 2003 is the exception, it's magnetic) So, if you notch out iron, all your going to find is silver, pulltabs..etc..)
Sometimes you might be better off just dragging a rake and a magnet across the beach..

As for coin shooting, Do you realize how many people have checked out Parks and School yards during the last 45 Yr's? Good for clad, maybe a ring once in the while. But I'll leave them for you. I've found it better in private yards and the berms along city streets.
On a hot summer day its nice to spend time water hunting a swimming beach.
But so many hunters are also water hunting that the finds get slim. Still we all have a good chance to find the ring that will make our day. If there's a boat swim area on the lake I take my canoe to them for the best results.
As for cache hunting. And you have a good lead, the time is better spent looking for it. You could really clean up. Thats were I spend my time looking now.
However there will be no payday till you bring in the bacon. Monk

well free it seems i have the exact opposite here. lots of clad and very few old :-[ . they are probably there its just hard to get the permission to hunt on state and corporate land.

Yes the parks do get hit hard, but must be they don't know what they are doing cuz I find all kinds of things. 1860's coins, rings and clad. I do like old farm sites though.
