Here's a case where a not-very-promising-looking area yielded a few interesting items. I decided to try an area across the street from one of my favorite old schools this weekend. I had checked this spot a couple of times but it seemed like a dead area as I would only find clad and a few screw caps ( deep at 7" ). Plus, some of the sidewalk appeared newer and there are no old trees. Regardless, the ground was finally soft again here in Michigan after a brutal July so I tried my luck not expecting to find anything old.
The chauffeur's badge was deep....at least 10-11 inches. The pocketwatch frame was also 9-10 inches down. Turns out this area was just as old and undisturbed as the school grounds. Friday eve and Sat morn hunt.. ended up with an Indian, Rosie, 9 wheats, war nickel, the badge and watch.
This proves again you can never tell what's in the soil until you dig; I focused on deep signals.
