There are 5 of us who detect several spots where I live on a regular basis. They are fall back spots where if you don't have a better place you default to one of the known sites that keep giving up the goods. These places have been hit with all the top detectors time and time again, but for some reason they continue to give up a silver or two on a somewhat regular basis.
All these spots have crazy amounts of ferrous and nonferrous trash. I find it for the most part hard to believe there is not an inch of ground that has not had a coil swung over it on multiple occasions, but silver and old stuff keeps coming out of the ground for some reason.
I think the high amounts of trash is the key. If these were trash free yards, lots, or parks they would be cleaned out, but the trash keeps stuff hid until you hit it from the perfect direction with just the right detector and ground conditions. So anyway I think in the right place lots of trash can keep sites productive if you don't give up on them. I also am coming to believe places like this are the best places to learn how to detect. If you can detect these places clean spots are gravy.
