I live on an old farm. There was a farm house from the early 1800's here. In 1920ish these folks I knew bought the farm, tore down the old house and used what they
could of of the old building to build a two story. Much of the house has square, rough hewn floor and wall beams from the old house.
The really bad thing is that they just tossed the old square cut nails EVERYWHERE! And whenever they put on new shingles, must have tossed the nails in the yard too.
Then, years later, they put aluminum siding on the house. There are pieces of siding throughout the yard. It is next to impossible if not impossible to find any old coins due to the
extreme amount of trash.
I wish someone could come up with a detector that could see through all that crap. At least I'm not bitter
I just wonder how many coins are under that stuff. I've detected this farm since the early 90's with my Explorer and only found three silver coins and some wheaties. And they weren't that deep.
I've detected the yards with iron mask at zero. Tried different sensitivities. I've detected it with a DFX, and quite a few other detectors.
Just my rant for the day.
