Finally I got something military. I ordered the 6" coil for the Equinox 600 on friday and got it yesterday just before dinner. I told my wife I'm going out to the old carnival grounds that my parents took me to when I was a kid. The carnival grounds are about 10 miles away from where i live and right next door to Niagara on the lake and Queenston hieghts where the battle of 1812 took place. I tried the new coil on park 2 and field 2 and this is what I got after 30 min. IMG_1025.JPG so being the beach and shallow water hunter I am I thought I would just try beach 2 and after 60 min. this is what I got. IMG_1031.JPG now this is in a carnival park using beach 2 on the grass no water or sand for miles. I pulled the British WW1 machine gun corps cap badge with crossed vickers with brass Kc crown above the guns and I couldn't believe what I had just found. By far my best ever find. Now here are some more pics of a week ago finds from a beach about 10 miles away. One that I hunt weekly. IMG_1028.JPG IMG_1029.JPG an old disney car., a piece of brass that says pat.A.pdfd and a 3 pc.herb grinder. Thanks for looking and HH.

yes I was surprised and never seen one like this either. May give it to local museum where it could get more exposure.
