You know the drill... one area at a time. Remove the "junk" and re-hit. You say.... "signals EVERYWHERE,nothing spectacular...YET!!!" Does this means not a good "signal" yet or your digging everything? Your going to find something sooner or later that's "good". Best of luck guy and keep us posted.... later, Brad

After your experience worldtalker, I'm gonna rethink my local historical societies. I got turned off by one which had metal signs on their property which stated:
"Metal detectors not permitted" From what I could tell, the site is not historical in any way, there is a lake for swimming and ball courts and picnic areas outside.

Anyway, there are several societies within the areas I detect at. My wife and I went to a museum for a defunct canal and the museum curator
took our names and phone number as they will be excavating a property and said we can participate. I think the main thing is to get around and network, and things will happen, right?
