Usually hunt in pro zero, 35 iron disc, and one bar below max sensitivity. Tried something new today. GB usually at 92 or 93, so I decided to see if "0" iron disc might help with depth and I believe it did. I also slowed my sweep down and went after any target with a reading over 40. No silver, no rings, but did pull a small dime size token at 8". Found can slaw, several nickels, a few zinc pennies. The area searched was approximately 4' x 120'. Then moved to a "skin" infield of a baseball diamond thinking that I might be able to gain an inch or two in depth due to absence of grass. Sure enough, within an area of 9'x9' I found a beautiful 1935 D Mercury dime, a 34 wheatie and a 45 wheatie. Will go back and search same area again when weather permits.
