Those older ones are out there, there's got to be more there. Try it after a soaking rain.

In response to Pete's post, how does wet soil effect a metel detector?

 

[dfxdude]

My experience is, that the wet soil gives better soil continuity/conductivity and you can get a little deeper, as opposed to dry soil that has air gaps and cracks. Best time is right after a rain, as long as it is not too muddy.
