I have been trying to make up for lost hunting time this past winter by going out 5 mornings detecting this past week. Have to hunt the schools before the kids come back.
Well Sunday it happened! After going all of last year with out a gold find, I found it, but not with the detector.
I spent 3 hours detecting a park next to a school about half way through I was walking across the black topped sidewalk and there was a tiny gold glimmer in the sun light. I scooped it up looked good but it's tiny so I can't really tell until I get home. Found a 1944 wheat by and old tree stump too.
I think my detector is miffed at me for finding it. After I found it the M6 started reading zincs and clad as trash, pop and screw tops. It also read a zinc as a ring, something it has never done before, and there was nothing else in the hole, I checked.
These first 2 pics are Sunday's hunt. A family member had my i-pad so I couldn't post.

These last pics are the weeks total, trash and all...just in case you guys forgot what trash looks like

I found a distorted item of some sort in the malls parking area, my Mom was going that is gross picking items up, I was like no it appears to be "GOLD!" I was right it test out as 10k with my acid testing kit! That M6 is supposed to be good at finding rings, I have seen others who have posted some good ring in past that have it in their signatures, does it have an adjustable ground balance ?
On this site I get Lincoln's reading +78 and lower. At this point I have a good start on cornering the used metals market, and evidently need to add to my "foil" pile! 
The zinc reading as straight out "ring" was a first. Pop tops & bottle caps yes, but a zinc a little weird.
