target hit

[skydiv]

I think i cleaned my yard out of coins but there is a few areas that have a larger hit area and is hard to pinpoint. the hit area may be a foot or larger, does this mean it would be junk or worth the dig. I'd hate to find 2-3 pull tabs. you guys are a gteat help. you all have some nice finds

I'm new here, but the pros keep giving the new guys this advice. Dig them all.

What if it were a 1 foot long wooden box full of old coins or jewelry buried 2 feet deep?? I'd go out and dig it, especially if it were in my own yard - I'd never get any sleep wondering what it was. With that said, it probably is just junk. I've dug a few 1-2 foot long checnks of angle iron out of my yard. But you never know until you dig it up! Good luck, hope its something cool!!!

Not to say don't dig it. But if the signal width, when pin pointing, is wider than your coil. Then it is something larger than a solitary coin. HH

You should know your yard better than we do so you are in the best positiion to know what to do. In my yard it would have to be junk that I put there. Before my house was built my yard was "genuinely vacant land" which means thaat there was no record of it ever being inhabited before my house was built. It was just woods or cow pasture, therefore I wouldn't want to dig up my lawn for some junk I lost there in the past 35 years. If this were an old housing development I might feel differently. So, what ya' gonna' do?

If the land(lot) was ever part of a farm then I would still dig everthing. I found two 1860's coins in a clover field where there have never been any houses.

I had one of those in my yard, turned out to be the lid to a concrete septic tank that was no longer in use.(the steel reinforcements in the concrete were what I was getting the hit off of) But hey, It could easily have been an iron box full of cha-ching! You never know unless you dig it! HH omnicognic 8)

well, I dug those large areas and it turned out to be steel tent stakes.
