I went and beat up a few old home sites on the old map. Unfortunately I wasn't the only one. There were holes with big iron and cans laying next to them. The privvys were already dug out with a few bottle remanats strewn about. Its a shame I hadn't zeroed in on these a few years ago. Going off the old maps in the woods is tough. I walked by some of these sites a few times and they are so tucked away and overgrown you almost have to fall into the foundation to find them. I got a nice signal next to a hole with a half a can next to it. I figured I'd clean up the other half the can. I was feeling dejected thinking I wasted the day on a beat site. Out pops a nice heavy silver top to a salt shaker! I'm thinking "Sweet, they left me some silver."
Next i got a silver spoon handle next to the privvy diggings. I was feeling encouraged. I got a V nickel, largies and Indians and felt there were a few coins left. This is the detecting where you are lucky to get a briar free patch to stick the loop into and the holes are in all the accessible dirt. I got the coil close enough to the ground in the bushes to get a nice 32-35 on the Nox. It sounded huge and I figured it'd be a can but this nice Barber half popped up! Funny I have detected 1 Seated Liberty and 5-6 Barber halves and never got one bank roll hunting. I wonder how many times in the past I walked away from silver dollars and halves thinking they were cans because of the junk strewn location. Both items give off a huge signal. I snapped a pic of these skulls for kicks.
