Well went out for a few hours today, and just randomly swiped in some woods I've never tried before on a friends property. Started getting iron hits randomly then I started getting a thick concentration of it. So I stuck around in there, and I found this stuff

Went there again today found a bunch of stuff. One penny 1919, so I agree, definitely the right place. It's at least thirty acres of stuff. Went out with my friend, and we were getting iron hits everywhere.

Thanks y'all! Love this hobby. It's like Christmas everytime the shovel goes on the ground! My wife got me my first machine, and I told her it's the gift that keeps giving.
