Thank you for the great advice! The pond was already there when my dad bought it. It's in gold country near the 2 biggest gold mines during the gold rush(empire state and idaho maryland)
With a little bit of luck, you might be the first person on Pond Boss to actually MAKE money while mucking out their pond!
I did make a few sweeps with the metal detector and wish I had taken the time to do more before we started filling it! I found a large lead ingot, and lots of rusty old iron. I'm sure there's gold there- if not within a few feet, definitely within a couple hundred 😀
