The timing is terrible.

So, I was going to hit the ares to the south of my house first due to the fact that I am having a new garage built over there.

I was expecting my detector to arrive before the concrete slab was poured, but this may not happen.

The permit was awarded today, and they may start working sooner than I thought.

I should ask one of the guys over at metaldetectingforum.com and see if they want to scour the area before it gets buried under concrete.
