1800 home site and lots of rust,,advice 
Got permission on this site off an old wagon road. Its way off the beaten path and there are two Cw camp sites not far from here.Thought this might produce something but all we dug was rusted tools. The owner found a half cent after plowing there one day and said no one has detected it.. We hit targets every foot and everything was giving out a big halo. We discriminated every which way but Sunday but to no avail. Nothing but scrap pot belly stoves and old tools. No brass no lead(except mason jar lids) no copper no silver thus far.
Really stumped on this one. I feel if it had been detected they would have pulled some of the old tools. We only hit about 20 feet out from the cabin and am thinking we are going to have to dig everything to get something. We hauled some of the stuff back to the truck and have a couple more piles to pick up at the cabin . My girlfriend found a couple of arrowheads on the way.
So what do ya think? Dig it all ? There are no old trees near as its all in soy beans. Does have a old stone well. I have yet to find a trash pit other than one foot under everywhere. Really stumped on this one any ideas out there let me know. I feel its there somewhere waiting..
Check out the pics and let me know what you think.
Thanks
