i just started detecting and i found a 55 wheat penny right behind an old farm house. I searched for a couple more hours and found nothing else but part of an old butter churner and a bunch of aluminum cans and pull tabs. The last time the house was lived in was the eighties and now there is a bunch of tractor supplies lying around. I can't check everywhere i want, but there has to be more. Any suggestions? i have looked all around the perimeter, where the garden used to be and around all the tall trees, but can't find any silver or any old coins. As a matter of fact i can't even find any clads. I was just wondering if it was my detector, my skill level, the location, or because of the snow? thanks, i can use all the help i can get.
