more "junk" from my yard

i was going towards my back yard to a wooded area, and moving slowly around the front of the house. found lots of roofing nails from when they redid the roof years ago... i also found something i thought was interesting. turns out it was a thing to hold on a drainpipe... my dad said it was an old style one that they don't use anymore.
got to the back where i wanted to go and i found a flattened out tube... my dad says it might have been for barbasol.. according to the writing we could somewhat make out... wonder how that got out there i also found a handle from a trunk there previously...

i am starting to wonder if i keep going close to my house, if i would only keep finding roofing nails. where are coins usually found in old yards?

Flower gardens, Near large shade tree's, Driveway where people are getting out of cars and reaching in their pockets for the keys, along the sidewalk line, Near the front steps, Antwhere kids played.

Under old clotheslines is another good place. You also never know where a hammock used to hang or where people used to sit in lawn chairs. I found that each yard is different and you can find surprises anywhere. Sometimes way out in the back yard you'll find a spot where kids used to play and you'll find buried toys. Some of the older ones are just as fun for me to dig as old coins.

You might want to see if you can get out to an old park or playground for a little variety now & then to keep your hunting exciting. Good luck!

Those nails could also be hiding the good stuff underneath, Im pulling everything out and throwing it in a bucket so I can re-check the area after a good rain.Dig every coin signal! make sure they hit hard from all angles! a good tone one way- but not the other usually means nail, stay over the target a while, make sure you get a steady tone- or VDI, then dig! a deep steady sqare tab signal can turn out to be a good recovery, Ive found many rings that way. If your finding sqare nails? then theres a good chance on finding a copper ( depending on how old your house is)
Good luck
We are waiting for your coin recovery pics!

For coins, I've had more luck in the front yard and the side yard opposite from the driveway (believe it or not).
