First few searches, this is the stuff I found. All on the 10 acres my parents own.
Several nails and some hunks of metal... One looked like part of a faucet, the other like it could have been on a vehicle? and the other one I have no clue.

Today, in between the rain, I decided to dig where the RV has been parked for 3 years. I didn't get a chance to dig much, but I found 2 more old rusty nails. This is probably pretty close to where my grandmother's old house once stood.

Much better to find them with a detector than a tire.
After 50 years or so it is difficult to identify anything metal except nails. The ones from 100+ years ago lasted longer in the ground than the Chinese ones from the 70s.
Compared to parenting, Cat herding is less complicated
What was the target ID ? Keep track in a log and you'll learn the detector faster.
Nails (especially in areas with lots of them) sometimes mask other more desirable items . Swing slower after you find the target.and the detector might see through 'em ! .
And always !!! Check those holes again before you fill them back in. The best stuff might appear now !
Oh , that brass thing is a shut off valve .
Junk is a major part of detecting , you'll have to dig a lot of it till one piece of junk turns out to be ,,,,,NOT junk.
The good stuff has a nasty habit of sounding (or IDing) just like junk sometimes !
If you "cherry pick only the good stuff " you WILL miss gold.
Posting pics of junk gets everybody to possibly identify something you had no clue about. Sometimes a definite piece of junk to you might be an easily identifiable artifact to someone else !
stay tuned
