Larry, I live near a town where once a year the whole town is a flea market. I have been told several times that someone else was there before me. I usually dig everything above foil signals. While I do dig alot of trash I tend to find things others have missed. I guess it would depend on how much traffic the area got. I typically find 20 to 30 coins and several other keepers for a couple of hours of hunting. The neat thing about flea markets is there is no telling what might get dropped. I have found military items such as Aerial Gunners wings from WW2. I have found some silver jewelry, but no gold yet. I usually hunt this site when I have no where else to go since it is so large. Remember to get permission and to retrieve targets properly. BenVA
