Great idea. I will have to try that.
Depending on when that was built there’s a good chance of finding some Spanish reales and early large cent coppers. Imagine some lead bags seals and cool old buttons at the very least. I’d hit it! Look up the earliest maps you can find of the area and see if there’s an old road head’n to it gave up to Mother Nature and hit that too! Somebody might’ve beat you to it, but nobody gets it all!
It's definitely worth a shot. I have had a desire to start metal detecting for a while and this has me excited. I appreciate the info.
I got my start years detecting for gold nuggets. It’s addicting. It’s worth get’n the best machine you can afford. The best brand would be Minelab. They aren’t cheap. Depends on what you want to hunt. Nokta is another good brand slightly cheaper than Minelab. Both make good multiuse models. Minelab recently came out with the X-Terra for $299. It’s a helluva entry level at that price. Some of the reviews are say’n they messed up, that they’d put it up against their higher priced models any day. I’ve noticed its ID numbers will bounce around widely, but I dig everything anyway. Completely waterproof, light and takes the coils from all its VLF series detectors I’m told. That’s huge. Garret is meh…long in the tooth with design, though an exception for the Axiom, a gold hunting pulse induction machine can be made.
Your area would be a blast I bet. Check out QuarterHoarders channel on jewtube! If you need any advice on any model let me know.
