I am new to metal detecting and am having problems. I have some greet places to hunt for old coins etc. An 1830 farm house, 1800 brick building that was a college at one point. A spot where the town dumps fill. The fill is from under old roads and next to houses when waterlines break. Last week at the site I found an 1836 silver plated spoon from Roger brothers, a wheat penny, an old ink bottle etc. All were in plain sight without using a detector. My problem is even with my iron and foil notched out,I pick up a lot of oxidized nails that read 5 cents. There is a ton of junk at two of the sites. Should I buy a different coil,or a different machine?
