my neighbor let me see his basement, when you go down the stairs if you look to your right there is a room that is brick floors, and walls and if you look to your left there is a wall that is about ankle high and beyond that is an area that is all dirt, he said he found documents that said the house was built in 1885 he said I could come detect there sometime, would it be worth it to detect the basement?

I'm sure that over the past 123 years some kids have played in that dirt basement and maybe lost a few things or even buried their "treasure". Old metal toys, coins, maybe a gun? Even adults hid stuff and forgot about it or died and couldn't tell anyone where it was hidden. You will have to put up with the usual iron and copper fittings left over from modernization projects. Could be a neat place to search when the weather turns bad outside. Good Luck!

Do it!! Use the smallest coil you have and start with reduced sensitivity, so as not to blank out the threshold. If it's real trashy, you may have to dig all metal for a while, to get the surface trash out. But if the invite is there, do it all winter long, if that's what it takes. Where else can you detect in mid January anyways??? Good luck.
... as the others have indicated, what you got to lose? Go for it!

Thank you God for the end of Tyranny and Oppression and for return of freedom and democracy!
We deserved it after these eight years.
God bless America again!
Please spare us the drivel rhetoric, mirco. It's one man, in a slick suit. Give it a rest.

well he didn't say I couldn't still detect there, I just don't want to be over there, he is the one that is interested in the history of the house, I'm just going to let him borrow my detector to do it himself, now that the days are getting colder I have no plans to go do any detecting anywhere.

You couldn't break his basement. He could break your detector. Besides, you know darn well you can't just turn it on and start finding loot. There's a learning curve with every machine and you paid your dues. Like others have said. Hang on to it and let him get his own. Jim
