I'd be curious...
I've seen a lot of folks post in here about finding stuff 5+ inches down, and I'm hoping maybe someone with a similar machine to mine (White's Eagle Spectrum with a Blue Max coil) might have some advice for me.
I live in Nebraska and at the moment, the ground is so dry it's almost like concrete. With the settings on my machine, the stuff I've been finding has never to my knowledge been below three inches (granted, some of it has been silver Rosies) except for some big iron trash. I'll admit I just might not be looking where the deep stuff is, but if I can't help but wonder if maybe the settings aren't a bit off for the conditions, or perhaps I messed something up while trying to test various settings. If anyone is using a machine similar to mine and has posted on here, if you got any suggestions, I'd be more than willing to listen and
From what I've researched on the history of my hometown, including plat maps, by about 1891 there were about 20,000+ people here, and someone HAD to have dropped SOMETHING from around that time period. I've met a few detectorists and most if not all admit they don't go around the residential areas to hunt, so there's probably lots of goodies waiting. I know, I know, join the local club and get someone to show me the ropes that way. I did join for a while, but due to my work schedule, I was no longer able to make the meetings and I only knew one person there who I since lost touch with.
