Started with a Minelab xterra 505. Then Equinox 600 with stock coil, xl coil and sinper coil depending on circumstances. Now use a manticore.

Found this spot accidentally looking for an old road. 1880s to early 1900s section is small and all broken. Appears to be a surface dump but the bridal rosette came out of it. Early 1900s to 1930s section is bigger. No great bottles have come out really just 1930s amber Owen's Illinois bottles and a few slightly earlier slicks, bit then i find random warranted flask parts. Was it common to top of a dump with rocks 🪨 ? Because there rocks here everywhere. The later dump I started moving them and finding shards. Victorian area looks like everything was thrown on to the rocks because once you move them out there's no shards under then.
