Hello Fellow MD'ers...
I'm curious about how you/anyone would hunt an extremely trashy area.
Here's the scenario;
It's a park in So Cal that has seen activity since the late 1790's and most probably seen it's glory days in the 1800's to present.
I swing a Minelab Safari (approx 6 months now) with settings; sens 16, high trash, conductive, 6x8 sef coil (but I toggle back & forth from ferrous).
I typically stay in conductive crossed saved to relic so I can easily toggle between that and AM.
The ground is trashy enough in conductive but when I go to ferrous mode, the numbers on my digital readout rolls just like a slot machine and sounds from low grunts to high tones make you think you are on hallucinagenics. If I had a GoPro I would record it to show.
This place has been pounded out but there has got to be a ton of good stuff in the ground. I'm sure most MD'ers have taken all the easy stuff on the top but when confronted by all the tones, beeps, grunts, and overwhelming digital reads, I'm sure most give up and head out of the park.
Would you hunt this or walk away knowing that the easy stuff is gone and now you have to work like hell?
I don't want to give up on this area. At the very least it should make me a better MD'er.
