Been detecting about 6 yrs and of course I've hit parks n schools that have been filled and landscaped. Usually look for the older places. But a good question pops up here n there in the forum, What about old targets coming in the fill dirt? I here this now and then but wonder/wish there was a way of estimating the probability of old coins n targets in the fill? Like maybe where ground construction companies get their fill? How was it gathered? Or better- do they doze the land flat then backfill and blade using some or all of the original dirt! The latter would be great .
Question is how can we assess whether the land is New or the Old/original dirt just smoothed over? Is this question silly or what?
