I have a little park I've been having some small successes at but there is one field in it I hadn't tried. It was mostly just a filled in area. Near to a railroad track, (usually means a lot of iron debris). Anyway, long story short, it didn't pan out much. A couple interesting whatsits but not much else. 
So, I went back over to the park and it still gives me reasons to come back:
At least this one gave me a method to figure out it's identity.
This thing reminds me of a lens cap. I thought it was a remnant of a shotgun shell at first.
The edge is ribbed like for gripping. It's not threaded. The little hole in the side puzzles me.
Appears to be brass. Any guesses welcomed.
I thought this was a 1/2 ounce fishing weight but it only weighs about a third of an ounce.
Appears to be lead but it also seems kind of light for it's size.
Being near the tracks, my first impression was some sort of flattened coin. But, I have doubts.
Seemed a bit too soft and lead like. You can see where Blingie nibbled on it, kind of silvery inside.
The clad was still there.
George to the rescue and it was the very LAST find of the hunt.
I was swinging just about grass top level so this signal rang in at a full 8 inches down!
(Wasn't someone asking for proof that the AT-Pro can hit deep silver?
)
Have I said before that this sight just NEVER gets old?
And, here he is after his bath.
After getting almost EVERY single 1965 quarter ever minted, I finally, FINALLY, found my very first 1964 quarter!
Not too shabby for an experimental hunt, even if I do say.
Thanks for peeking!
