Iron readings on an older detector?

[Hotdillon]

Hello guys! I am new to this site and am very happy I discovered it. My 6 yr old daughter has gotten me into metal detecting. We use an older model detector and have found aluminum, loose change, but nothing significant. I was just wondering if anyone could tell me when my detector detects iron....what is it usually detecting? I have not dug when it says iron and was just curious if I should??

Thanks guys!!!

I would go ahead and dig a few iron signals and see for yourself. Usually it's junk but sometimes it might be an interesting iron relic or something. After to get used to the tones/signals, you can pick and choose which to dig.

It really would help if you provided that name of your Metal Detector...
