Quite the assortment today!

[DKinPA]

Spent the day with Jeff of PA, we did as much driving as we did swinging I think. We hit an old ballfield and two parks today for a total of about 3½ hours of detecting time.
I'm not sure my finds will hold a candle to Jeff's great finger puppet find but here goes;

At the ballfield I hit one wheat cent and this little religious medal at about 8" deep...it's small, about half the size of a dime and thinner.



At the first park, in addition to two wheats I found this pocket watch back, turned out quite ornate once I got it home and put some elbow grease to it. The initials are "B M".



At the second park I found one more wheat cent and three deep nickels, two of which turned out to be buffalo nickels. One is a 1925, the other has no date. It's a shame what PA dirt does to Buffs.



All in all another decent day with my new Etrac, 13 memorials, 4 wheats ('23,'27,'44 and '46), two dimes, three nickels, the pendant and the watch back. The last stop was so full of iron I switched the E over to two tone ferrous and it worked like a charm to hit the nickels, all of which were at least 8" deep.

Den I've been really impressed with the versatility of the E so far. That ball field was giving me almost a constant null and I was running Andy Sabisch's coin program so the discrimination pattern was pretty wide open.

I really like the TTF for sites like this, even running 2 tone the "high" tone will grab your attention. The other thing I'm noticing is even with a faster sweep speed the tones will hit and stop me in full swing.

Last night I was on a ball field at home and switched to TTF again and I hit a nice 12-43, 13-45 and the depth meter was over half way.......8" later I pulled a 1988 dime....so much for the vision of seated I had dancing in my head...LOL!!
