Got out again yesterday. The more time I put in with the CoRe, the more impressed I am. Been hitting this mid 1800s home site that has been pounded, and each time I've come home with a keeper. Ran in Di3, sens about 50, Discrim (ID Masking) down to 0. As usual, I would dig anything that was "iffy".
Got a couple goodies including the WC Starr and Sons medallion which I originally thought was a token. Apparently it was just a label on some equipment. It was a good 7" down and gave a solid signal. Can't believe it hadn't been found before. From an online source:
W. C. STARR & SON, Richmond, Ind. : Saddlery Hardware. Their catalogue No I, 1892-3, of 40 pages, is handsomely illustrated, showing Fancy Top Hames, Shaft Loop Buckles, Extra Heavy Express Trimmings, Harness Buckles, Letters, jeweled Ornaments, Metal Trade-Marks, Solid Metal Brow Bands, Steel Center Fancy Clips, Gag Chains, Metal Housing Borders, Bits, &c.
They ceased production around 1911 or so.

Also got handle from flatware and a BullsEye snap or button. Again, nonferrous targets at this site are rare, nails and farm debris are everywhere.
