I am new to MD'ing and have found only pennies thus far and every thing from an old wagon wheel - speaker grill -pull tabs galore, brick ties, nails, soda cans, metal siding trimmings, bullit casings, metal plates .. bla bla bla...
Jim saw me scanning an open lot I had gotten permissoin to hunt and stoped and introduced himself, and gave me a quick lesson on my 2 machines and how to properly use the discrinate. He also gave me one tip in the 5 minuites we talked that has saved me digging TRASH!!! "if it's a coin, you will get a "beep" scanning in both directions -repeatable signal" AUSOME! DOH! now i leave the ghost signals i had been chasing and focus on the good signals!
Thanks Jim!
I went hunting at the old middle school here in town yesterday with Jim, a new MD'ing friend with 20 + years of experience. I found a penny in the middle of the open field and decided to focus on the area around the old tennis courts where I found an old light socket extension (the kind you put in a socket so you can plug an electrical plug in and still use have a light in the socket) Also found a "cinco centavos" mexican 5 cent piece that i thought was a penny, then I moved to the rear entrance - stoop of a brick building that is now the department of education office, the second sound was solid .25: cut the plug and opened it and there it was shiny silver! 1939 quarter! well worn around the edges but really clean straint out of the ground, I was amazed, and excited! Net for the day was one silver 1939 quarter, 3 wheat pennies, one 5 centavos Mexicanos, and 4 memorial pennies.

Jim found a few clad quarters, dime and a few pennies as well. I will send him a link and see if he can post any of his finds.
I have pictures on my camera phone but cant figure out how to get them off my phone and intop the computer or e-mail address. if anyone knows how please inform or I can send you the pics to your phone and you can e-mail them to me PLEASE!!!! lol![:-\](https://www.treasurenet.com/smilies/undecided.gif "Undecided :-\")
Pictures as soon as I get the How-to-get-it-off-my-phone part figured out.
I will also post a picture of the 2.5d gold coin I have.
My Wife asked me if the quarter is valuable enough to sell to pay for the machine! LOL -not quite- she is so supportive! HAHAHAHA
I used my MPx machine that I received for christmass and the quarter was found @5-7 inches deep
