I hunt back yards up here , they dumped coke ash in them years ago, you dig down 3 inches and it ash, I use a small coil on all my machines and dig all the hot rocks out, like you peel an onion, one yard I find stuff every year, I work at this place, my boss owns it, I want him to grade it away from the building so I can get down deeper, you can detect it, just dig everything
