hunting a old house this morning, that is on a 1871 hand drawn map i found on the internet and real close by. i found a 1944 " henning counterfeit " nickel. though no silver content as ww2 nickels have and no value. they do have an interesting story behind them i found out. if interested, check it out online. good for a laugh anyhow. the place is infested with nails and other junk. i ran disc on my vaquero at about 2 o'clock, just to pick up coins. also got a wheat penny and a little clad. i'm gonna be back there and really go over the site well. the owner told me no one has detected there before. well, since the early 60's when his father bought it. so, hopefully there's some good finds there. read on hear from someone about trashy sites, clean a 8x8 area at a time. perfect place to take that advise.

Staking out real small areas and cleaning out one at a time makes the task seem less taunting. Go really slow and go over each area at different angles before moving on to the next one. At a old site like that I would just set the discrimination just high enough to discriminate out an iron nail. There's no telling what you might find at that site.
Good Luck
