This logs the best finds of hunts between 9/19 and 9/23.
9/19 - thought I had a large copper but the un-rounded shape and hole in the middle has me thinking "button" but maybe not; however, there is no detail to tell. This did come from an area where older flat buttons have been dug.
What do you think?
9/20 - a first for me - the mouthpiece to a trumpet/(bugle?) - very deep and from an area in a city park that yielded a trime, half-reale, a large cent and a Williams cleaner bullet.
9/21 - a morning hunt at a Baltimore City park that I had not been to in months and decided to hunt where I had not in the past.
Right away I dug an 1864 IHC
Staying on the hillside, I got another high 20s/low 30s signal and down about 8 or 9 inches, a fatty with laurel wreath/no shield making it an 1859.
. Checked the hole and there was another target, a little deeper....an 1865 IHC 
Kept on the hillside and recovered a brooch
and a railroad or street car wheat 
.
9/23 - a hunt in the rain with the Equinox again but with me weather-proofed.
Dug a Charm Candy president Hoover token
An old brass from a Peter's .38 S&W cartridge,
,
a brass escutcheon with a central brass knob that actuated an tiny iron locking mechanism,
,
an older wheat,
, and ended the hunt with another Indian, 
Really liking the older small cents and, particularly the spill. All these were found with an Equinox 600, Park 2 mode, very little iron disc, sensitivity at 21, multifrequency and 5 tones. You can see that its hearing target down to 9 inches.

Man those 3 IHP's look really nice but the oldest one is really crusty!
