Hi! I’m fairly new at metal detecting. I live in Boonville, MO and am looking for other folks to go detecting with. Boonville is a wonderful town with a rich history. Let me know!

Pretty close to ya - I have been known to come over and take some silver out of Kemper but my range tends to end towards Fayette.

About once or twice a year I hit the casino there in Boonville, your about a hour drive from me...

Welcome

Hello from Cape, Great forum with lots of info and Great members ( one just gave away a 500.00 dollar bill, in a contest).

Hi again! I last posted back in '13, and I'm still new. Been hunting in my yard, and there's a lot of iron in it. Would bricks contribute to iron readings? There's a lot of them buried here. I'm using a White's MXT300. I hope some of you who answered 7 years ago are still around.
 
Welcome from WC Arkansas! I see you're on the MO river. Always more history around major waterways! Settlers relied on them, as well as ancient inhabitants. Good luck with finding a hunting buddy, I know there are several in MO. HH!

I guess they could (not an expert on the subject by no means), if pieces of metal found their way into the clay, like from mixer rust scaling. Metal oxides help to create a brick as well, iron oxide can make be up to 7% of a bricks content (especially in red brick). Seems like I can recall getting a hit or two on old bricks....Probably other ferrous material causing most of the iron hits though...reads like it's a demo or demo dump site.
