OK here's the deal. This morning I went to a site that was a social hall in the late 1800's to do a little detecting. The chimneys and fireplaces that were on both ends of the building still stand but that is all. It is located at the outer edge of a public park and MD'ing is OK there and the grounds staff is very friendly. I'm not scared to dig there (responsibly of course) at all, that's not why I am asking. What I'm asking is it worth digging. I get a null every few feet with my E Trac and 6x8 SEF and on many swings get more than one null. Some of the nulls when approached from one direction will also give a rather good sounding tone, like there may be something good down there with the iron. The thing is though, in the area the size of normal house or slightly bigger we're talking probably 50+ nulls that also have a good sound before or very near the null. I was there about an hour and a half this morning and dig not dig any of these hits. I know that many times, especially in hard hit parks the silver found by Minelabs is coming from holes with iron and other trash that previous detectors could not get. Is this what I'm looking for? What would you do?
