Re: What is your top detecting Tip? Checklist
While I have changed my methods because of age, I think you need to:
1. Determine what it is you are after, and the best way to find it.
2. Learn your detector, it's features, , it's audio signals, it's readouts and it's nuances.
3. ONLY search those sites that offer what it is you are looking for.
4. If you are detecting a very old site dig ALL marginal signals (questionable ones).
5. Don't give up on a site that you have researched well just because your first search was not all that profitable.

Re: What is your top detecting Tip? Checklist
When I hunt old parks, I try to envision what it looked like back then and ask myself if I was here back then and nature called where would I go?
Ill look for an old tree or someplace from public view.
I also look for trees that have grown more sideway than straight up.
This could indicate that someone had bent and sat on it when it was a sapling.
I haven't found my dream silver spill as of yet but I have found a couple Mercs and wheats this way.

Never wear shoe's with the steel nose.
Put your ring off your finger.
And never give up.
