Hi Theseus and Mike,
I recently hunted a baseball field that is also used as a soccer field (football field for people outside the USA). This place was the worst hunt I did in a long time. It was full of foil from gum wrappers, bottle tops, fast food condiment wrappers, and cigarette wrappers. And there were lots of paper clips and small nails and pieces of iron wire. I also found some pull tabs along the sidelines. At the end of 5 hours hunting, I found about 90 cents in coins, and no jewelry, even at the playground at the side of the park. Needless to say, I will not be going back to hunt there again until I have in my hands a proven LRL that shows me where the gold is. (Perhaps this will not happen in this lifetime).
If anyone wants to hold a contest between coat hanger wires and a metal detector, I suggest it is done in a remote area that has been searched to insure nobody threw their trash there first. Maybe in a desert somewhere.
Best wishes,
