That is a spectacular effort with results to match.  Some really nice older finds. 
In addition the the magnets on the rake, get a large super magnet with a short rope attached to drag on the raked up ground. It will get anything that is loosened up for several inches down.

Awesome result. No detector made will ever be so good as to really deal with masking anywhere near like people think they do. There are more good targets left in dense ferrous locations than have been found. Magnets and hard labor is the solution, and I'm really glad your efforts paid off. Just an excellent effort and results, inspiring really, thanks for posting.

It just might.  The rancher from next door pulled up while I was taking a coffee break and I started chatting him up about the local history.  He knew some stuff I didn't.  And I knew some stuff he didn't.  So we hit it off.  I showed him and his daughter some of my finds and they were really interested.  One of the things he knew, that I didn't, is he told me 20 years ago archaeologists from a school in California worked very near the spot I was in and they found military buttons.  So, gold coin isn't impossible there.

And yes, I did get a new permission!  It was too hot to do more than drive up there and take a look, but two homestead sites from the 1910's by the looks of them.  He pointed towards one of them about a mile away and asked me if I had checked there.  I replied that no, it's posted private, so I've stayed out of there.  He fished around in his shirt pocket and handed me his card with his info and told me to have at it anytime I wanted.  Then told me about the second site, not visible from where we were standing.

So, plenty to do around there!
