Congrats. One of my best sites was a still standing one room schoolhouse. Dozens of wheats and indians, v and buffalos, but only two silvers but one was my first seated dime. Neighbor said hes seen detectors there before though
You guys should mow it for the land owner. It would be a nice gesture and you can keep hunting.
That was my thoughts. It would help out with detecting as well!
...In what, the 80's? People would only be after large silver coins. I heard stories how they would skip everything else.
I could be wrong....
.... Also the land owner said no one else had hit it to their knowledge...
As someone who was there at the advent of TID (early 1980s), I can tell you this is wrong. At *best* they might pass up low conductors (foil and tabs). Which, heck, is even still true to-this-day (in junky blighted parks anyhow). But no, none of us ever skipped "everything but quarters". And even if you tried, go figure: The machines of those days were limited on depth.
And for country-sites like this (abandoned early-on), I believe we had the "presence of mind" to go into relic mindset. And to the extent that some guys never moved their 6000D's out of the "tab reject" mode (even in relicky sites), those machines were far-from perfect/efficient at coverage.
I'd mow that thing like it was Augusta National on Masters week.
