You're up near the border. Yeah, Dan had some good info. The places that have lasted up until the 1930's ( ^ that's 20th century) have a lot of huge debris and overload signals. I can tell you the cellar where I got my first KG2 has concrete casing to the stone foundation. The spot where I got my first crotal bell has the same. The spot where I recently pulled up a huge immaculate plated spoon (maybe a mile from where I got my FE) has the same. ALL three sites I can see in the '34 aerial and all three sites had these pieces of tin roofing and old cans and old pots. Ridiculous amounts of trash, and the only thing I have been able to do at some of the spots was work away from the overload signals, deal with some, and clean up the area as best as I could with time provided. As a beginner I would suggest to stay a little away from the iron to where it becomes a little more sparse. You still want to hear a few bits of iron in the swings (if you have a way to hear the iron... my machine I can hear some grunts or clicks but it's almost like the iron audio is "ON" but lower volume than the good targets). Maybe try in between the cellar and barn. Just gotta try and use best judgment. Like at one place I saw an defined opening in the wall and it lead up the hill. I followed the path up to find only some modern wire coils maybe 80-100Ft from the old house. It just happened two LC were inside an animal pen a few feet apart just behind a barn. Almost the same distance from the cellar but SW instead of SE.
