Nearly got skunked!

Went to a Grange Hall today, spent two hours there detecting. Lots of rubbish i.e. pull tabs, rusted tin cans and such. This place is made of log and has been there ever since I can remember, some of the logs are starting to rot.
I was haveing a tough time, my cursor was jumping up and down the scale at times from Iron to dollar. So I turned the sensitivity down to 50% and dug another 6-8 pull tabs and rusted tin can pices.So I notched out pull tabs, Iron and foil and dug more junk!
I took a break and pondered the site, decided i'd hunt ferther from the building, which helped some, not so much junk. I reset the coin mode to factory specks and hunted another 45 Min. or so and came home with two clad penneys .
How would you hunt a crumby site like this? I feel that as old as this place is there must be some goodies there!............................................. Gene...........

Put that spot on the back burner for now, and go detect some areas where there are more targets to dig. You "need" more time learning the machine and digging targets. Go back to that spot after you have another 10 hours on that machine.

Hi John;

Yeah, I bit off more than I could chew for sure. I wasen't expecting all that much junk! I ended up digging several dry holes too! Ran the detector back over them and nothing not a peep!?
Oh well, I know where theres a couple of scools way out in the pucker brush, think I'll nail them next!
Waiting to hear from the fella that makes that digging tool you use! HH Gene

THere should be but remember, detectors have been around since 1932. I'm sure that place has been hunted at least once in the past 73 years.

Yeah practice in the schools and playgrounds to hone your skills with the Feller. It will pay off.
