yep that place that's been pounded, beaten and left for dead...…. This evening I get a nice high tone and TID is fluttering back and forth between 28-33. Pinpoint and out pops my first 1856 seated half dime!!
Dime was approximately 4" deep.
Merc dime - 3" deep.
Sterling silver ring was approximately 5" deep

Equinox 800 settings: Park1, 50 tones, 0-iron Bias, Recovery Speed - 4, sensitivity - 23, "all-metal" mode and scanned BBS / FBS slow.

Good job! The half dime might have been used as a button. It’s been altered on both sides. Maybe had a loop on the back?

When man and machine become one... that’s awesome man.. I’ve never dug a half dime yet... I like the ring too.... standard or 6” coil?

Keep them coming, this is fantastic stuff we're seeing right here. Really the stuff your finding isn't that deep, it must be that 800 is able to separate the targets better than other machines.
