I did three hunts total for the finds, and fought brush for about 6 hours. The overgrowth was tremendous but I found a few keepers. Please excuse the Canadian token of it offends you, but by some standards it is Canadian colonial.

I know there's a lot more there then was found. I even found a trash pit.
 

Great finds Scrappy !
 

Very nice finds. Care to share some advice? I'm just starting out and live in an area full of old farms hidden in the woods. I've got all the old maps, LiDAR, the works and have mapped out and found countless walls and foundations, but like yourself I'm dealing with extensive brush and growth. So if im going to be able to even swing the detector I've got to do some significant clearing. In your experience where should i be spending my time? Are fields away from the main house generally fruitful? The easiest places to access and easily use my detector are obviously out in the middle of the old fields, but does anything ever turn up in the middle of an old crop field or should i stick to checking along the stone wall boundaries? Or do I just go all in and spend a few days clearing brush from around the foundations?
