One chance at hunting an 1816 home site, how would you attack it?

[Dave_E]

Tomorrow I've got a shot to detect an 1816 home on a couple acres. This is extremely old for my area.

I've got an Impact with the 9x11 and 4.5x7 coils.

I have about 4 hours tomorrow and likely that's all.

I have so many ideas of frequency use, coils, settings, specific physical areas to start,etc....that I'm confusing myself.

How would you set up and detect this site to cherry pick coins and relics?
I've always been able to hit my permissions multiple times in the past so this situation is new for me.

from the house, eyeball where you think old structures used to be, wells, outhouses, barns, chicken house, etc, then search the areas between the two(the house and outhouse, the well n the barn, etc) these were paths walked every day so who knows. take a weed eater if the scrub is high. hope you have good luck n post what you find!

Thanks all.

Update:
TONS of trash and a couple of wheats.

if there are wheats there's usually silver, too bad you only had one chance
