Found a revolutionary war field.......

[vtcivilwar]

I was granted permission down by lake Champlain for a 250 acre field.... It saw action .... In about 12 hours I pulled 30 or so lead musket balls and camp lead. But no brass?? Even the lead isn't the strongest signal.. And the deepest is about 9 inches... The soil is dry clay and very hard digging... I started with GM power, sens 95 (it chatters but that is ok) disc down to 5, 12k, and I usually only get a good signal one way. I have it figured out where I get one blip and I will dig it. Any thoughts, one I have is sometime in the past someone cleaned out all the high conductors? This land owner has owned it for 20 years and has not given permission before.
Thanks

I'll come and help you?

Lower Disc to 2.0 or lower - that should give you a fraction of an inch depthwise.

ALso I would go Full Tones if not there already especially with those fringe targets. It DOES make a difference!

Very cool ! If the field has been cherry picked of the high conductors, then you need to set up to hunt deep or set up to find those iron masked high conductors. A good compromise between the two might be to run at 8 kHz, Reactivity 2, Silencer 0 and swing pretty slow. Plus like CZ mentions, Full Tones and as little Discrim as possible.... zero Discrim if you can.
