I think I can answer that, the reason we think there is still a lot of silver and gold is because we hit 10 or more pull tabs with every swing and we have found a good amount of silver in this location in the past. I guess the thought is with all the good stuff we have pulled out of that area, that those pull tabs got to be hiding a lot more good stuff. We have been looking for new hunting ground but not a lot to pick from around here.
Now there is another area of the park we call the flat land and everybody that has a detector hunts this area and it is getting hard to a find pull tab. This area is pretty clean so we know all we will find there is new drops. I was hunting these flat lands back about 5 years ago and on any given day I could fill my pouch up with pull tabs about 3 times and I was getting some older coins to keep me interested. Seems that after the 3 of us brothers started taking the tabs everybody started doing the same thing and now it is clean.
I am pretty sure if the hill side where we think the silver is was as clean as the flat land we would move on.
The three of us brothers are talking right now so we can see the glitter of silver, but once we get to hunting aging I don't think we will be spending the whole summer on that hill side if it doesn't start producing some good finds. That was the starting reason for this thread to see if anybody had any luck going back to an area like this with a beep and dig and done any good. Now we have branch off a little but that is okay it is all go stuff.
