Went back to my old honey hole, more than anything to just get acquainted with the chatter, bells and whistles of my new machine. I didn't expect to find much of anything, as I have hunted the shiz out of this yard.. my elbow being sore as it is, I didn't really feel like digging a lot of targets, so much for that.

Quite a variety of finds, the massive Tonka Toy Fire truck eluded the ACE 350.:dontknow:

Also was happy to see a silver, 43-P

The toy soldier was a great find, its the third one I have ever found.(the other two were from this lawn as well)

Then finally, this little pin, I am guessing it is from WW2, a Canadian Military pin of some sort. It says Vancouver, strange thing is I also found a Russian WW2 pin in this yard last year.

Congrats, BigWaveDave!
I'm curious: Were the new finds deeper than 6"?

Not necessarily, the targets I chose to dig were based on the info given to me by the machine. I have hunted this place dozens of times, as there are hundreds of targets. I did hit on a few deep targets in the back yard, but chose not to dig them, because its a trash pit, loaded with glass.

You must have tons more confidence now, and i think confidence in your machine is a huge portion of success . . .

Great hunt!! Wait until your elbow feels better and sort through that trash in the back yard, just might be some more silver waiting on you.
