Tony- by all means get that detector and see what's down there! I've found all kinds of neat old "stuff" with my detectors on our ranch that's been in the family since it was first homesteaded in the 1870's. Mostly worthless scrap, but it's still neat to dig up something from the history of the place that hasn't seen the light of day in 50-100 years. I've found everything from rings to coins to old toy guns to parts from real guns, buttons, harness hardware, peices of pocket watches, and more.

By far my two most common "finds" are lids off of mason jars and sickle sections out of bar-type mowers. Those sickle sections are EVERYWHERE, ya'd think the old-timers would have spent more time fixing sickles than they did mowing! And they turn up in the strangest places too....right in the yards next to the houses etc., places where you'd think nobody would have mowed with that type of machine.....
