I went back to the field today and I used the F75 in all metal mode. I don't normally do that but I've been thinking about the AT Max I have on order and from what I've heard from one guy that's the only thing that is any different than my ATP and my F75 does that. So with that being on my mind I decided to try it out and it worked out quite well. I got a 925 from Italy bracelet and a token. The token was from Hotel Markham. "The Markham opened its doors on January 31st, 1927 at the southwest corner of 21st and 14th Streets in a burgeoning downtown Gulfport. The hotel was named for Charles H. Markham, a former president of the Illinois Central Railroad. Markham wasn’t an investor, but had actively encouraged the building of a prominent downtown hotel. Gulfport’s other grand hotel, the Great Southern, was even then beginning to show its age and catered to a resort clientele. The Markham would be all business, though not always. Its opening night festivities included an orchestra borrowed from the Roosevelt’s Blue Room in New Orleans and normally sober townsfolk partied the night away in a blaze of color and light in the shimmering Crystal Ballroom. It's being renovated now for a new casino". IMG_1025.webpIMG_1027.webpIMG_1030.webpIMG_1031.webpIMG_1032.webpIMG_1033.webpIMG_1034.webp

pretty cool finds, silver bracelet and a token. Great pics and post.
 

Congratulations on some nice finds and an interesting local history lesson. Wonder if there's any special meaning to"adult" swimming pool.

Lol, what did I miss? There's a few hot spots in this area.

There's a little field next to Lourdes Church built in 1920 on Old Fish Hatchery Rd. I found some cool things there.

Congratualtions on the nice finds! :occasion14:
 

Nice finds and going into All Metal Mode. I have messed around a bit with my Makro Racer 2 in all metal mode. It takes some adjusting but, is a good way to clear the ground of targets. Great finds and history on that cool old token coin.:headbang:
 

Congrats on the nice finds!! Pretty cool post and all the happenings.
