new home construction site

[skydiv]

I was just told i could hunt a new home site, it has just been preped so lots of ground to check. plus a new road with sewer pipe maybe 1/2 mile long. it's an old farm field. what do you think the chances are of finding anything?

i would take a walk thru the area first and look for any kind of items lying around such as broken glass,pottery,any kind of things that might scream out HUNT ME!!

peace,bigrig

The key to finding somethong will depend on what was there in the past. Did you do any research? Old indian camp, Civil Wa r site, older structure torn down? Those types of things will be a tipoff. JIM

Depends on how close the field was to the original house. I'm detecting the field by my house now. The signals are few and far between but I'm digging some interesting things....musket balls (miniballs), some copper rivits from harnesses, an old brass key, and an 1888 v nickel. If you dig all signals you'll probably find horseshoes and pieces of farm implements.

Hunting larges areas like fields is time consuming, but there's very few pieces of modern trash. Good luck!
