Just enough time for a one hour hunt took my time.My first target a zinc on a slope in the park area I thought would be a little more difficult to hunt and may have been over looked by previous hunters.The second target for the Sovereign a good signal in the middle of a lot of junk targets.I could not get a 180 degree repeat but the target read very high in one direction.After the flap was cut got a 180 good read both ways.After digging down a couple of inches the probe wouldn't read a target.A park worker on a Gator was pulling up to empty the thrash.I covered the hole while he was taking the garbage bag out of the trash can.After the park attendant left I reopened the flap and rechecked for the target.Another 3 inches and the probe started to give the Sovereign zing.In the hole I could see the silver edge and out line of the 1936 Walking Liberty half.I researched the hole with the probe but nothing.I started a circle sweep around where I found the silver half dollar and got another faint signal that required the Sovereign coil wiggle(used a BBS 10 inch coil)the numbers climbed to 179-180 after digging in the flap got a deep tone from the probe clearing more dirt gave the clean zing.With a hand full of dirt taken from the hole no more signal with the probe.Brush the probe through the dirt I could see the liberty standing quarter hello old friend its been a while.no date can be seen on the quarter only a D mint mark.
 
If you cut a flap or plug and you switch to the probe and there is no signal the target is probably both small and out of reach from the probe.I have a Whites Bullseye but the Sunray probe has at least twice the depth and will give a tone in discriminate its great.The target or coin was probably at least another four inches deep out of the range of the probe(which is good its very deep) that doesn't happen very often.
 
A two hour search at the park only 11 pennies and a clad quarter.The good news 5 wheat's 1909 vdb,1925,1958,1951D,1947,1951D.While searching in the higher grass saw a set of keys a gold dog tag attached to a gold chain.
