OK - I'm not a Charter Member so I cannot search.....
But I've got a location that dates back to the 1840's. It is a T-Shaped intersection (it was then and it is now) for horse...then stagecoach....the autos. The 'corners' has gone through its phases of hotels, general stores, taverns etc.... with a busy rail station directly across the street.
Lots of open space still remains today. Very loooong history at this spot.....but the road is pretty busy these days.
I expect a HECK of a lot of trash (Cans, pull tabs, foil, etc...) from more modern activity......but plenty of goodies from yesteryear. Ground is currently a mix of hard pack dirt and still soft, grassed areas (but I have pics of the same spot from the 1910's & teens). For this spot - I prefer to shoot coins.
I'll hunt it using an MXT with a 10" EXCELRATOR DD COIL.
How would YOU hunt this? Or rather....WOULD you hunt it? If I tighten the discrimination to help weed out trash......I'll also end up discriminating out some goodies, eh?
