Went back to the park build again today. Being the weekend they haven't moved any more dirt since I was there last. Still managed to find another Indian head 1888 and 2 wheaties 1909 & 1944. All 3 are pretty crusty, soaking them in oil. Also found the back of a cufflink or button, can't remember what those are. Not pictured is the small pile of rusty iron I retrieved digging most signals.

Olive oil. First time I have really tried it, I understand it can take some time. Maybe I'll post the results someday...

Today I was digging pretty much anything that beeped. I think I do need to slow down my swing though.

For the cost, the ace250 has been a great starter machine. But I don't feel like it gets much deeper than 6 inches on coins. I also feel like I would really benefit from a ground balance with the soil at this park. I do plan to upgrade, not sure if I'll do it this fall or wait until spring.
