I just got an open-ended permission to detect the grounds of this old drive-in movie theater. I am told that it opened in the 1940s and closed in the late 1970s. I know there wouldn't be any super old coins there but there might be some silver. I have no idea if it has been detected before. My wife says the grassy area in front of the screen was a playground.

I am expecting tons of pull-tabs and bottle caps. The area is now somewhat overgrown so detecting may be a challenge. Not to mention most of it will be gravel under the weeds.

I am curious about how you guys would approach this. Would you concentrate only on the high tones, hoping for silver?
