Today I found my third ever seated liberty dime and my second ever Civil War token. I'm usually a colonial hunter but have to admit was nice to see the Nox 800 with 11" coil read a solid 23 while giving the clear silver tone. It was 6" deep under small oak roots in a forest floor. The token reads "Our Navy" on the reverse with the Monitor on the obverse.
I pick through my share of old nails, gambling on whether to dig or not to dig. But a stable number and nice high tonal pitch make silver obvious. Old iron usually bounces around between swings and the audio is unenthusiastic. I thought the token was an Indian Head. This particular area is not heavily infested with iron in fact it has few targets. Last year it did give me 1723 Rosa Americana and an early Georgian shoe buckle.
