I did a short bit of metal detecting on my lunch break at Hounz Lane Park today. I found a Mike's Hard Lemonade bottle top and an old pull tab. I also spent fifteen minutes hunting for something that was showing up as a dime 6-8 inches deep, but had to return to work before I fount it. I suspect it's junk metal, a hunk of it, and it's deeper down than I dug.
I am learning new tricks to recover items faster. I always carry an old towel with me. I put the dirt on it as I dig it out. It keeps the spot neater and it is easier to sift through the clumps of dirt and scan them with the detector in case a coin is stuck inside one of them. My digging technique has also improved.
