Thats why i say its different for everyone.
If i was hunting for old coins or even jewelry anymore, every single time would be a complete waste of time around here not to mention a bounty hunter probably wouldn’t pay for itself.
I do it to escape the bs in life and get some air and exercise.
I like my detector to have certain features to play around with but in the end its the mystery of what i might find as everything is essentially a piece of history even a simple gum wrapper.
I actually like the odd things that you have to figure out what it is and how it got there. then again im an odd person lol.
My neighborhood is a wooded area/ partial nature preserve and was an old aviation target range during WWII. they would practice from a small airport about 10 miles away, fly out over the water and drop along the coast line.
The preserve area had a small mill town back in 1910 that was eventually leveled to the ground. Considered a ghost town along with some other small areas including a port used during the civil war. Before that partially Indian stomping grounds. Unfortunately the soil is like beach sand and doesn’t hold things very well and those areas with the historic areas are all government property.
As for the numbers if you basically dig everything weather it is a old coin or old cog the numbers don’t matter. others are more specific and only want to use their time and energy digging old silver coins for example. And thats fine. Whatever floats your boat as they say.
A few get too wrapped up and want detectors to be made to only find certain things they want and not waste their time lol. In general they are all “metal” detectors. Can’t really fault it for sensing metal as they are designed.
There are some “gold” detectors, but no guaranty it’s always gold.
Maybe someday they will invent the “old silver coin” detector that will pick up on old silver coins and nothing else.
Lord knows that any new detector that also picks up any aluminum or iron in the process sucks lol
