Tips For Detector Users

Might I also add:
1. Do research and talk to people. My friend I have permission to hunt near an Indian camp. The camp site is actually on an adjacent property and was also a burial site. I'm not in the least bit interested hunting a burial site, respect. I don't want my family's remains disturbed and I should treat anyone else's the same.
2. Get permission, even the strip of grass in front of a house between the sidewalk and the street. Some places it's public property and some places it's not. I live where it's not. We need to keep a good image as more and more places are being made off-limits.
3. Try to think like those of the time period where you're detecting. If it's a 20-30's home or farm house, they probably didn't trust banks. Mom probably hid her butter and egg money where she could see it from the kitchen. (clothes-line, dug well, etc). A framer might have had a "post-hole bank". They haven't invented a better burglar alarm than a chicken. Farmhands would set under a tree to take a break.
4. Research, get permission and think.
Your totals may go down but you are on your way to better finds.
