Hi all. Hope everyone is well. I had a 3 hour hunt in a field close to my house that has produced some nice old finds in the past and that has been hunted hard by other metal detectors. The last time i was at this field with my AT Pro i did not find much. I usually hunt in Pro coins mode so on this hunt i decided to try and hunt in pro zero mode for the first time. The hunt started slow and my first good find was a small button with a anchor. From there on i managed to find a couple of other good finds one of them being the smallest Harmonica i have ever seen and my oldest British Half penny i have ever found. Its dated 1889 and is holed. The British half pennies is not a common find and i think i have found 5 half pennies in my 4 years of hunting. Another nice find for me was the toy lead soldier. i have not found one in a long time.

Thanks for looking and Happy Hunting to all

Very nice finds Brendan. Thanks for sharing...
 

Well done on the finds from this outing. I guess you know which setting works the best now.
 

That harmonica is crazy, never seen one like that
 

Now we're metal detecting. Congrats :icon_thumright:

I've heard that an older coin with a hole in it could possibly represent something an Indian wore as jewelry. Is there any truth to this?
