Describe this “dump” for us Dan, would you? This is like a big pile of leftovers or a training camp or similar? How did you know about this area to begin with? You did have a good day!

It's basically a military trash site. It looks like they took old barracks, tore them down, dumped them and everything, inside then burned it at these sites. Next time I go, I'll take a picture of the trash we dig along with all the crap that's scattered everywhere. It looks like after they burned what they could, they took a front end loader and spread it out over an acre or more. It must be over 12-18" deep in spots, it's a crazy place to hunt!!
I found out about it from a friend of a friend who lives nearby the site, he told exactly where to go and we did

Thanks Jeff! My settings were:
Park 1
GB 0, no place to ground balance here
Sens- 18
No disc
Recovery speed 6
Iron bias 0
2 tones
Using tone pitch set to 1 from -9 to +15 Tone pitch set at 25 from +16 up
Volume set at 12 from -9 to +15 25 from +16 up
Rather slow swing until I get a high tone then do the wiggle to isolate the target.
Only digging from +16 and up due to unreal amount of brass, aluminum, copper that is everywhere, not to mention pieces of iron of every size and shape. I'm sure I left something good behind, but, my buddies were digging the lower numbers and didn't find anything I'd lose sleep over not finding

Excellent site. Congrats just for locating that honey hole. 2nd congrats on finding some great targets.
You might want to check Calabash's video's about low numbers. He's found buttons at civil war sites in the 8 + 9 range. Although, with the amount of trash I understand your logic. Nail all the good stuff now, maybe go back for low tomes once the good high tones run dry.

It's almost a 2 hour drive one way, if it was closer, I'd drop my tone break down and see what's hiding there among the lower numbers.

yikes. that is tough. 4 hours driving is 4hrs not putting coil to dirt. and there's only so much daylight.

What a place! Interesting, your settings pretty much mirror mine, and they seem to work well...at least I’ve found some deeper ones that way. I like the Recovery faster with a slower swing, as opposed to slower Recovery and a faster swing. I like the short, abrupt but PUNCTUATED response I get from a setting of 5 or 6, most of the time it’s 6. I feel the TID is more accurate this way also, along with the depth indication. Just my own feeling about it...
In my circles, the FBS machines coupled with an Equinox of some kind seems to be making people pretty happy about having those kinds of options that continuously produce results! You’re making it look easy, stop already!!

What a terrific site that you have found and the finds thus far are pretty amazing,must admit i really like using the 6'' coil on my Equinox for my trashy roman/saxon sites but at the moment i am experimenting and will probably stay the same ongoing with a slow recovery speed with the 6'' coil for some extra depth and also i for the most part swing with a slow methodical swing speed.......that way i feel that i dont miss much also prefer using 2 tones as well,occasionally 5 tones but certainly never 50 tones as that just fties my brain with all the audio input.
