Need better spots to MD

[Johnny X]

Went out with the MD today, didn't get much at all. about $1.27 Clad. and that's about it... wait... no. I found an old iron fence post. But on a brighter note I've caught wind of an old Wagon trail that settlers used to use. It cuts right through my grandfather's property. I'm heading up there soon hopefully to find something worthwhile.
Until next time,

Keep your eyes on the ground and happy hunting

I have hunted a couple of sites similar to the wagon trail you are talking about. I never had much luck and it occurs to me that I think I know why. I have noticed that much of the artifacts and coins recovered from these sites are done so in conjunction with some kind of excavations that brings the items to the surface. Such things as highway construction, sidewalk replacement, building demolition and new construction. I am guessing that a lot of targets are so deep that we probably would never find them unless some outside influence would unearth them or at least make them closer to the surface. It's frustrating to know the goods are there but you just don't have the capability to recover them. Does that seem like I am on track in my thinking? JIM

Thanks for the posts guys,

Jimmileo, that sounds about right. It's the same as when I indian artifact hunt. You pretty much have to have the field plowed to bring anything to the surface.

Keep your eyes on the ground.

Good luck with the new site! I have hunted a few old wagon trails and found only newer shotgun shells, most likely cause my BH cant find the deeper stuff
