Red circles for loose surface coins/treasure. Green for archaeological types of hits, circles for old stuff or sites, Xs maybe nothing more than Native American flint objects or shards.

Red X for deep coins/treasure, either intentionally buried or else got covered over with a lot of dirt. Red circles for places to search for loose surface coins/treasure. Green circles, may once have been an old foundation, cabin or other type old site.

Let me know what you find, I had a pic dowsed by red too, but its way overgrown and I couldn't detect there. Still Interested in this!
 

thanks red, i will update you as soon as i get to each site, with my findings, thanks for your time im chomping at the bits to get out there right now but of course its late, the one you havnt done yet is the one that is closest to me, i was hoping to hit it tomorow i will for sure if you get it done tonight as well , thanks again i have been reading on this forum for hours tonight interesting to say the least, have you had anyone send you pics to verify your finds, if so what, i understand if you cant or wont say

red typically what do you mean when you say could be native american,do you mean like relics, arrowheads pots tools or what, and what about archaeological or old stuff what kind of things would that be considered, and lastly loose coins i understand but you say loose coins/treasure can you elaborate on that some, also did you get any depths especially the coins i will be hitting those spots first with my Md i as well hunt with an ace 250, my new sniper coil should arriv etoday, im ready to put it to the test,
thanks again for your time
 

that tree line just over that tree line on the second photo you dowsed isnt on the property,which sucks because i could possibly get someone in the family to give me permission to dig it if i could find someone ith the right equipment i am going to take a look at it i might be able to get permission, but by what your sayig i doubt i could get them to let me dig it that deep, nor do i have the equipment to detect it or dig it, most of all those buildings have been tore down but two, behind the house and the one just short of the red x, do you have an idea of the depth on any of those red circles and red x, thanks

On the 1st photo, green Xs didn't get anything like pots, probably stuff like arrowheads, scrapers, etc. Green circles show signs of past activity, sometimes that can be an indication of junk or where an old foundation or cabin once was located. Red circle in front, got 12" or less. Back red circle, shallow and deep to about 2-3 feet which can happen where the ground surface is excavated.
 

It was easier just to mark this one. No obvious Indian clay pot signals, doesn't mean there couldn't be any, just seems to be more like flint shards, arrowheads, etc. Depth shown is for under 2 or 3 feet, then 12" or less. Red X got about 4-5 feet on it. Some types of old buildings with dirt floors, such as barns, chicken coops, corncribs, have all been used often, to hide caches in the old days.

The red line was a little hard to see, so went around outlined it. A lot of interesting signals, out of time tonight, marked something you need to find info on. Orange/blue circles for gold/silver. Check to see if any possibility for caches that spot. I'll need to come back later to dowse the spot more, even if surface only, should be good. From what I got so far, most likely this is a gold and a silver cache.

Ok, I'm marking the orange and blue circles as coins, 4-5 ft orange, 3-4 ft the blue. Green Xs Indian flint objects, best spot put green circle around X. Plain green circle, some old stuff.

No size reference here. I do my best to put the signal in the center of the X or circle.
