if you need to clear ground get a dectorist in to do it for you.

think im speaking bull,every year you dig ur plot,every year you take out bits of metal,copper/brass/lead/iron etc.

also some of the more expensive models WHITES DFX/MINELAB EX2/TECHNETICS T2..etc will tell you your soil acidity.and remove the bits you dont want to around 12"-3 ft.or 20ft if you go for a horde finder :shock:

you dont have to own one you can hire them or get someone to do it for you.

p.s the cheapo maplin machines no point.

you may know what have done on yer plot the last 20 years how about 300-500+ years before you.

organic farms full of lead and copper and iron i know ive spent 12 years digging it out,and theres more there.
