Unfortunately, I didn't find a whole lot, because I was going back over ground that I've hit hard before, since I didn't have any virgin ground lined up to detect today.
I did manage to find a couple of Wheat Pennies, an old button, a 1936 Buffalo Nickel and 1945 War Nickel. I set the discrimination just high enough to discriminate out iron nails and dug all repeatable audio signals even if they were 'iffy' in hopes of unmasking a good target.
I only detected a couple of hours or so, before calling it a day and spent another hour or so driving around looking for some virgin ground to detect for tomorrow's hunt.
After driving around for a while, I spotted an old house with a dumpster in the driveway and saw that there were some workers at the house doing some renovation work, so I stop to investigate.
Long story short, I spoke with the workers, got the number of their boss. I called him and got permission to hunt the property. This guy buys up old property and renovates it for resale, so he most likely will have other properties that I can detect as well. I'm taking a couple of sack fulls of homegrown tomatoes with me tomorrow.
It pays to be nice.
