I was just planning on a nice, clad walk today. Pretty much that's what it turned out to be. I started out
hitting a couple tot-lots and then went off for my clad walk. Didn't do to terrible:

Blingie seems interested in the medals.

When I first got these I thought neat, modern penny medals. The I realized, '96 wasn't yesterday! :tongue3:

A first for me. My first holed zincoln! ;)

And....the new trick? You guys tell me, especially if you use an ATP, if the VDI read as 04. That's right
zero four!! Would you dig it? :icon_scratch:

Well, if you don't, you might be missing these!

AND, by the way, it was a SOLID 04! They are completely magnetic too! LOL

Thanks for peeking!

Very nice hunt! Digging the low numbers can sometimes yield very surprising finds.

Lmao. Nothing but quality metals in today's coins. I think Ciggerette butts ring up as a 06?? I'm notched out 0-40 unless I'm in a special place. Thanks for sharing. Lol

Looks like a productive walk. An 04 is certainly strange. BTW..... you are a brave soul throwing ATP in the title!! The mob will be coming after you soon. Nice digs

More close to a dime, 14 and you get a us buck, try to wiggle your coil over it and see if you get a high tone in the mix, i use a x-terra 705 and got those bimetalic 1, 2 and 5 peso coins dialed in, even can tell denomination before i dig. Its all in the way you wiggle the detector kinda like the sound you get from a very corroded bottlecap next to a rusty nail.
