A Tenderfoot’s Tale - Part 2

Thanks for the info. I guess I subconsciously assumed since gold was “better” than the other metals it would be “louder” in my earphones. 🙄

BAD NEWS: I may be missing the really good stuff in “my” soccer field.

GOOD NEWS: It’ll still be there when I go back. I have lived in Maryland nearly 40 years and I have never seen anyone with a metal detector except at the beach.

High human activity leads to drops, good and bad. Age of trash can be a good indicator of the time of activity including coins. Areas that have pesiticides sprayed can change the eco system and result in shallow finds. Also desity of the earth effects sink rates and eco activity.

Common practice in looking for structures that are long gone is nail hunting and identifying the nail type to get a rough idea on the time. There are a lot of clues under our feet but often people just discriminate them out and look for the goodies and cherry pick the high tones (silver) which is the easiest to do. There is a lot more to detecting than just the choice of a detector.
