Finally got out today for a short 20 minute yard hunt with my F75 se before the rain came in. My main goal was to test some settings. I only got around to testing one setting but it seems to work well. All the items I recovered had nails and other iron bits in the hole. All in all I enjoyed it. I found a Mississippi tax token, 1910 wheat penny (my oldest wheat penny), I think the round thing with the numbers is some kind of dial from an old lock, and I'm not sure what the brass hook is.

I was using the 11" coil and my settings were sense at 80, disc at 6, tones 2f, mode at PF. I was using a slow sweep speed and listening for the good tone in between the iron grunts. Most of the targets I could only get a good tone in one direction but couldn't hear anything but iron when I rotated around it and the numbers would jump all over the place so I would just go by sound and not look at the screen. Still have much to learn but I'm getting there.

That could be what it is.
 
That's some cool things for a short yard
 
Very interesting finds! The token and the numbered wheel are cool.
 
Lol, I didn't mean the yard is short, it's 5 acres. It was a short hunt, time wise but thanks.
 
Did a Google search on sewing bobbins and didn't see any with numbers on them.
 
Looks like a bobbin B of the B, never seen one with numbers on it, but I haven't seen them all either!
Nice finds! Congrats!
I'd need more than twenty minutes here to just shovel snow to get to the frozen tundra!

Thanks, sorry about all the snow. It's in the 60's here but rainy and we have ice and snow coming tomorrow night.
 
nice digs.I like the token.nice find
 
thing with numbers is numbered like a clock...
 
love the tokens, pretty nice finds for a short hunt
 
Thanks, I think I'm going to stick with the settings for a few hunts and put the 5" coil on to see what it can do with those settings.
 
Thanks, I can't wait to get back out and try the settings with the small coil.
