I’ve had my eye on a fallen in deserted house for a while now. After a little research I found out that it was built in the late 1800s. The house sits on about 4 or 5 acres and most is too overgrown to hunt. Behind the the house though is a very small back yard where the grass and weeds were mashed down enough from winter that it was swingable. I started hitting wheat after wheat and kept expecting a silver rosie or merc to show up but no luck. I was even hoping for a war nickel or even a buff so I was digging mid conductors too. The few mid conductor signals that came were either foil or small aluminum. I don’t think I dug one pulltab which was nice. I was gridding the small area and getting towards the end when the little bracelet showed up. I got out my magnifier and saw 18k.... my first 18k, a whole 1.5 grams! Even with no silver that made my day!
I'd go back with a weedeater and rake.
Then hit it some more!
