Found this spot. Little off of the grid somewhere in southern, southern Colorado. Obviously coal miner ruins. Almost impossible to get signal through enless amounts of tin shrapnel. It's seems like this spot should have so much potential (but can't find much). There are 100s pieces of antique bottles littered everywhere. I was able to find 2 in tact. After endlessly searching. A welches junior bottle circa 1915. Another bottle being what I believe to be insect repellent from the 1930s? ( des pat 9 85925 ) The welches bottle I found walking along a dried up river bed! I believe it filled with sand thus helping preserve it's form. I also found the fork and a wheatback from 192?
The Pepsi cap (expires March 31st 1990!) and tax token I found elsewhere nearby in a more urbanized area...

A2coins is correct, amp up that discrimination on your ATPro to 40 and then block out everything up to 50. You may end up with more coins that way, IMHO. Best of luck, you are on a good spot, just need to not be digging tin garbage! Nice bottles! Sub 8-)
