Keep Digging????

[trueblue40]

I was detecting around the yard today just for a bit near some big oaks when I got two differant types of signals. I dug down about 6 inches and found the remains of what appears to be a coffee can. (Rusted in several pieces) I kept sweeping the detector over the area and would get a signal but not all the time. Nothing else was found, so far. Should I keep digging or just fill in and go on?

I would keep digging, I have had signals that were broken up and was surprised at what I found. I found a 1905 dime yesterday that was a weak signal.

You already suspect it was a hidden cache, so get back out there and dig it up!!!

only one way to be sure. if you dont dig it you will always be wondering.

When in doubt, dig it out.

I dug up a 14k white gold ring that was a very iffy signal and almost threw it out because I thought it was an aluminum bottle ring that seperates from the screw on cap when you open it. my hands were cold and didn't notice the weight.

DIG till you Know theres nothing there!!!!!!!!!

I agree with the others, dig it. Because if that can is rusted, there is pieces of in the ground, but I bet you right underneath those pieces if a very nice coin. You are having a hard time picking it up because of the rusted can pieces.

Dig it, cut some of the tree roots to get a better look. Don't kill the tree.

Always keep digging , that way you will be able to sleep and not keep thinking if you should have or not have on the target.
And you might be getting a rust Halo from the can , so if you do not find anything that may be what the hit was.
