IF YOU DO NOT DIG TRASH......

[Cherry Picker]

I understand it happens. Running out of places to look I have gone back to my old sites with the idea of unmasking what I missed being a Cherry Picker. You know, in all this time I have yet to go to one of my old sites and find a missed keeper that I could say look what I missed by Cherry Picking. Not a once.

YOU WILL NEVER KNOW IF ANYTHING IS HIDING BENEATH IT.

1000% true statement! Also goes with I just wonder if it really was trash?!?!?!?

To clarify I focus on early abandoned settler sites , These sites have treasure far more in the high value category then saying swinging a park, which I simply do not do. but on the sites I do hit if there was a long occupation... I can think of several sites with 150 to 200 year occupations. These sites I have returned to multiple times and always concentrate on digging big iron... which almost always reveals more treasure

You are in Mass., could you clarify abandoned settler sites, are you talking early settlements / what would be a ghost town where I am?

As stated early settler sites. I have been to sites in the date range of 1600's to 1800's and everything in between. Different area were settled at different times.

I would also say the older in date range the less chance there is of being a settlement. They were mostly maybe two or three sites spread out over a mile or so
