RE: Jbcoin Metal Detecting Finds from the past, 1843 Large Cent and 1863 Civil War Token
Great advice, thanks for sharing your insight into metal detecting, no winter where I live, if you count 50 F as the season low.
Haha..ok rainy days it is then! Best advice that I can give anyone who is relic hunting or coinshooting though, is don't waste too much time in one spot. Give it an hour or less, if it's not producing move on. Don't waste your entire day beating up one spot trying to find something. The tendency is to try harder, or assume its deeper or out of range. Just move on to several locations and find lots of somethings.
If items are present and undisturbed ground, you'll know it within the first 15-20 minutes. You cant "wish" items to arrive, because you like the spot so much. It's hard to give up and move on, but your detecting time is valuable. In the long run, it will be worth it.
