Even though I'm a newbie MD and gold panner, I did not find this doing either, but while landscaping my yard. It gave me the fever again.

Lots of history in that town, so its hard telling what you will find.

Yup - I'd never stop and detect everything I could. And dig it all.

I plan to walk the whole property and check it out. I will be digging carefully, I have a feeling I may have more than metal artifacts on the property. I respect the land and want to protect its natural beauty as much as possible.

I'll try to get out there between stoms this weekend and let the forum know what I find.
