There is tons of history, so what am I doing wrong?

Well the day started with rain, but I was bound and determined to hit the site again. Man I was soaked when I got home! :D I hit the old road to the bridge, of course I had to dig the rusty rectangular piece first, start the pouch out heavy. Not too trashy, so I was happy there. Ventured off the beaten path into the lower part of the field and almost lost my sneakers in the mud. :-\ So off to the bridge, just about there and remembered Gypsy saying three trees in a circle...... so I quickly ran around those, BIG mistake, you should have seen me trying to get that looped up thing out of the ground! :D

The ground was real wet, so the signals were good, and deep. Dug a beer can at 10", how the heck did that get down that far? The little I shaped item I have seen before? Nothing there but nip bottles, from the 60's some tin, pretty clean. I did find one long rusty item, but when I had dug over two feet in length, I decided to leave it for another day.

The disc, is copper and is 50 mm, or 2" I've been cleaning it and swear there is something written on it, but who knows.

So any advice on what I "should" be doing would be greatly appreciated. There used to be an old MFG co, a post office and general store, an old school house there. Awful big site, but I am determined to keep at it.

Here is a picture of the double axe cleaned up from last week. It has some letters on it K then underneath WARRAN??? may have been more letters. Oh of course I found another splitting wedge. :D

Are there any Military bases near by, nuclear plants etc.....? I've noticed neither of them will give you anything near a "threat"? I can't get my Aunts farm near the Nuke plant. :-\ Curious if that is your situation also?

Slow? I'm not sure that would ever describe me? :-\ But the little beeps? Hmmmm? I'm digging strong signals and getting some big stuff? At least the small beeps would be easier to carry home. :D

Big question? I have iron discriminated out. Hard to believe I know! :D Should I leave it on or not? Should I only leave iron on when the ground is fairly dry?

Thanks for all the help!
