So today I went out for a short hour for my first relic hunt this year. The place had three house foundations from the 1700's but I had a hard time finding them, first I found one of the house foundation but that place was covered in snow. I went to look for the other two house foundations and after ca 5 minutes I found them about 40 meters away. Now the problem I noticed was that my detector (Garret AT Max) started to beep everywhere, like if it was iron EVERYWHERE in the ground. I had detected with it one time before and that wen't very well but this time there was something wrong. I had ground balanced it correctly repeatedly but it still wouldn't work properly. There was a highway 50 meters away from this place and a railway 20 meters away with contact wires so that may of been the issue. And I also tried to switch from the four frequency's on the detector but that also didn't seem to work. Although I tried to detect there was a ton of trash and junk in the ground so it seemed to have been some kind of dump site in this area. I did find only one decent find which is a 18th-19th century keyhole (first good find of 2018):
I don't think I'll be going back to that place another time and I will try to stay away from older sites that are closer to highly populated areas.
