[QUOTE="Snattlerake, post: 3263474, member: 44288"] What detector did you get? Native Americans didn't have much use for coins or metals unless they were a tool or knife. Coinshooting can usually be done easily at schools. If your detector has a discrimination setting, set it for coins and jewelry. God did a curious thing to us metal detectorists. He made gold hit the circuitry like an aluminum pull tab and a nickel coin. Now, what does this tell you? 1. Dig everything because you never know. 2. If you start hitting nickels, you know the place has probably not been detected before and gold could be present. Pull tabs, love em or hate em. The more pull tabs and trash you get out of an area the deeper you can go and the better the detecting for older coins. Gold and silver will come out of the ground as it went in usually with no tarnishing. Pennies will usually last longer the older they are as they have more copper content. Newer pennies will disintegrate after a few years. [/QUOTE]
