I understand that. Sure there are sites I hunt that do not produce like they used to. We are always trying to find some new honey holes but they are harder to find every year. But I wouldn't call them hunted out. I would call them pounded.
Like khouse said, I'd take one old silver coin over a pouch full of clad any day. I guess I like the challenge of hunting a pounded site and pulling the deep or coins on edge out others have missed.
I went to my old picnic grove yesterday with my Tejon and found a 1920 buffalo nickel and a pretty beat up 1903 indian head penny in an area I have hunted hard for the last 27 years by just going a different direction than I normally hunt there.
There are just too many variables like masking, detector and coil used, operator skill or lack of, ground moisture, age of the site, freezing and thawing for us cold weather climate hunters, to say a site is hunted out. This is my opinion and your mileage may vary........HH
