I have access on Sundays to an 1840s home, but in the one trip I made, I had zero success. I have a Garrett Apex, and I'm not totally sure if it's possible for there to be any more iron in a piece of ground. I was running in MF Relics mode with iron audio on and dug everything that was a not just the iron grunt. In about 3 hours, I dug a bunch of nails, some larger iron and 2 copper memorials.
Does anyone have any tips on how best to attack this site? I know there's treasure there, but all I've found so far is garbage.
That is a tough prospect. I had a sandy beach that was an old swim spot and drinking and fishing also. I dug everything in 10 x 10 or so squares. then i shoveled it down 6 or 8 inches and detected that. Never came close to getting it done but got a lot of silver from late 20's on and a couple rings plus a few rail road locks. Plus a TON of junk.
