Well, lets see if I can answer these questions:
First of all, Hi DFIU!!! Always glad to see an old friend!!
Old California, you are welcome to hunt my yard anytime.
River Rat, I have found lots of clad coins, an 1889 V-nickel, an 1891 Indian Head penny, and a couple of pieces of jewlery, buttons, and about a million small pieces of steel siding. When they sided the house, they just cut the pieces in the yard and left them there.(ouch) The house is over 100 years old, and I hope to find more in the yard as I go along.
Blackjack77, yes it is a Garrett GTP 1350, and I love it. I have 4 detectors,(Bounty Hunters and Garretts), but the 1350 is my favorite machine.
Happy Hunting.
