I went back to the old ball park field.

I went back to the field today and I used the F75 in all metal mode. I don't normally do that but I've been thinking about the AT Max I have on order and from what I've heard from one guy that's the only thing that is any different than my ATP and my F75 does that. So with that being on my mind I decided to try it out and it worked out quite well. I got a 925 from Italy bracelet and a token. The token was from Hotel Markham. "The Markham opened its doors on January 31st, 1927 at the southwest corner of 21st and 14th Streets in a burgeoning downtown Gulfport. The hotel was named for Charles H. Markham, a former president of the Illinois Central Railroad. Markham wasn’t an investor, but had actively encouraged the building of a prominent downtown hotel. Gulfport’s other grand hotel, the Great Southern, was even then beginning to show its age and catered to a resort clientele. The Markham would be all business, though not always. Its opening night festivities included an orchestra borrowed from the Roosevelt’s Blue Room in New Orleans and normally sober townsfolk partied the night away in a blaze of color and light in the shimmering Crystal Ballroom. It's being renovated now for a new casino". IMG_1025.JPG IMG_1027.JPG IMG_1030.JPG IMG_1031.JPG IMG_1032.JPG IMG_1033.JPG IMG_1034.JPG

Congratulations on some nice finds and an interesting local history lesson. Wonder if there's any special meaning to"adult" swimming pool.

Nice finds and going into All Metal Mode. I have messed around a bit with my Makro Racer 2 in all metal mode. It takes some adjusting but, is a good way to clear the ground of targets. Great finds and history on that cool old token coin.:headbang:
