used the small coil.......sometimes there's just nothing there....

[Anonymous]

I have been hunting a site that dates back to the 1790's at minimum......the house sits right on the original road...there are about 3 plus acres.....I know a ton of fill dirt has been dropped on this property.....sits near a creek and along a railroad line.......you want to see all the goodies don't you....well not yet at least.....stone walls are still there,etc....that's not the point of the post.....I have been pounding this place......
now I hunt exclusively with a big coil on my explorer....thats just what I like....big coil...goes deep...no trouble with smaller targets....anyway a buddy who hunts a lot too...said.........."go in there with the smaller coil and you will clean up".....my first response was might as well try it.....so I did......the area is trashy with all kinds of crap some old some new....
well I figured I missed stuff...not the case......the small coil did not pull anything the bigger coil was too big on.....just got to pull all the surface stuff create a better environment and keep on pounding..................
I did find a tomac botton the size of a half-dollar with the shank intact at about two inches under a bush....................so the fill isn't masking everything.
sometimes there's just nothing there........sometimes luck comes on the third Tuesday of odd number months.........
we all analyse this stuff way too much.....
aloha from pennsy-

It is easy to beat the theory to death when we need to get a backhoe and shift the dirt through a screen.

There may be nothing there or you have got your sensativity too high. I have hunted an old park that is full of trash and by lowering the sensativity to 10 or 12 I can seperate good from bad better.Nothing can hide from the Explorer....Just try different settings and keep on finding the hiders.Trust me lower it and if no success then move on to better pastures.If there are coins there and you pass over them you should get-em.
