I have cherry picked sites before. If you plan on returning, why not? Sometimes even now I will cherry pick a site. Sometimes when I am tired, or hot. My last ring I found while cherry picking, Beale.

I am thinking of cherry picking the area before they tear down the school and leave a lot of junk on the lot and then coming back if I have time and digging the rest. I'm I nuts or is this the best thing to do. I just got my detector on June 10th and could use any help anyone would offer. ICE
Don't turn it up, turn it down, and just ignore the iron + pulltabs, this way u wont lose depth !!!

It's the nature of the beast! Dig or not to dig.

I live in the boonies and dig any and all signals.
