I have a few questions and i know this is the forum to ask them, ive always believed that by going straight to the experienced saves lots of time!
Some background info: I am using a whites classic ID until my equinox comes in. I have used it before but it was passed down from my mom and she was the expert. I am hunting an old site with loads of junk iron, garbage, tires, ect. But its never been hunted and i know there is stuff there. The house burnt down in 1986 and was inhabited since the late 1800s. It was owned by my great uncle and my family purchased it shortly after the fire. He worked on cars out of his house in the 30s-70s, there are tires and car parts laying around the site. Yesterday i found aluminum lines, sections of tin roof, a button, hundreds of nails and junk iron. There are also 2 barns that fell over, a chicken coop and there used to be an outhouse. Back in the 1930s i think they through all the trash in the backyard...
So on to my questions:
Thanks! I am looking forward to putting some time in this year but want it to be productive...

So on to my questions:
- I get lots of loud iron signals, should i bother digging any of these?
- Towards the end of the hunt i started digging signals with no audio, but showed on the screen in high ranges. Should i do this? Are my settings wrong?
- Should i just skip this site? I dont wanna waste alot of time digging trash when i can go to other places.
- Does anyone have experience searching through a house that was burnt down? Im thinking the wood and soot covered a good layer into the cellar, will i still be able to get signals?
- Does my detector have the ability to discriminate against junk iron? I read a little bit on it but that was 15 years ago....
Thanks! I am looking forward to putting some time in this year but want it to be productive...
