Welcome. The old school house should give up some keepers. Dig all the junk items and iron and you will discover better items that they are masking.
Indian burial grounds. " Off Limits " !!!!

I would use a Smaller Coil to get in between the collocated targets in that old school and go slowly,grid it..... and if i lived there.... i`d dig every target out of it, try to leave nothing. HH

Thanks yeah I'm excited for the ground to thaw I guess I could always go out with jugs of hot water lol got any tips on Where to start searching especially the old house I found the old well and a 150 plus year old oak tree I figure those are a good start

Rite now I'm using tracker 4 just cause it was free going to upgrade real soon but so far at school found 7 cents door handle and pre 30s Winchester 44 cartridge still don't know what best setting is but I'm still learning

Front door,Back door..... direct path to the well... a bucket of water is heavy...so shortest way ...they must have had an outhouse there look for depressions in the ground ...or i find a lot of outhouses have Lie-lock bushes around them...the bushes cover the smell... smells better.

Good points plus the driveway used to be a road don't know if that's worth walking have about 2000 feet of it found a bunch of old bottles along the side that's about it guess it's worth a shot with a detector

Murry 656 - my being new to the sport (as well in Michigan), have seen post's calling out the shade tree areas, driveways and being an old school may show signs of where a swing set might have been - that too would be a good area I believe!

Bring on spring - I have an old mill site and a couple three old home sites that I have permission to search, love silver coins - not for value as much as to have and look at - good luck!

 

[Murray656]

My problem is I can't find any pics of the school the way it was back then and where I think the swing set was is now a septic field I'm getting to anxious bout to break out torches on the ground thaw it out and make spring come early lol

Sounds as if you have a very nice property and alot of ground to cover and I am sure you will have fun and stay clear of the indian burial grounds.
