Thanks for reading. Luck will come to you one of these days! It took me about 2 months of metal detecting to find an Indian Head. If you are not finding wheat cents in America there is likely not going to be a good find at least coin wise. The area may be old, but there are so many factors. Everyone always says that the place has been detected too much. This may be one of many issues but my gut feeling is often the coin targets are too deep. Lots of fill dirt in areas. If you see old trees with no root coming out (depending on the type of tree) that is often a sign of fill dirt. Best of luck!
