This may sound peculiar, but I am interested in "treasure" hunting for almost anything metallic but only at or near the surface. My property is an old farmstead and some former owner(s) felt it prudent to leave "treasure" anywhere and everywhere. Things keep popping up especially in the horse paddock area; beer bottle caps, hand tools, old tractor spark plus, et centra and so on. Last week, one of the horses showed up with a nail in his hoof and the infection that goes with such things (fortunately, the infection did not reach the joints, he'll be ok). So, my goal is to find as many of these treasures as I can before one of them steps on something and aren't ok.
So, I am not looking to spend a whole lot of money just to find junk my pasture before the horses do. What I would like to ask all y'all is for hints on how to use a device, shall we say, on the low end of the feature and perhaps quality spectrum. I've read that some units have a feature to limit the depth sensing but the ones I've found are more than I'd like to spend ($200+; to be honest, I am looking at the Bounty Hunter Tracker Pro at Costco for $100 and avoiding pretty much everything I find on Amazon). At any rate, any assistance anyone here would care to provide would be greatly appreciated by a soon to be "treasure" hunter.
