Sounds really fun! I mentioned you to someone I know who knows more about metal detecting and they mentioned Sedona has a high iron content in the soil. Not sure if it really affects metal detecting but it might be something to consider depending on the metal detector you're using
Thanks for the info! I'm aware of that and not sure how much it will effect the metal detector... I guess we'll find out. There's also a lot of "hot rocks" or iron rocks as well and that's why discrimination is going to be so important! And yeah, it was a lot of fun. :)
