Out for a bit after work today

[scott.f]

Got out for a few hours after work today and hit some parks I was sure had been hunted before. Targets were few and far between except for pennies of course... But I did get a few dollars in clad and a 1960's Esso key fob. plus other odds and ends. All in all a fun time out.

Here's the loot....

Nice job! What detector did you use?

Thanks Mike, I used my Deleon.

Nice job Scott! Looks like you cleaned up on the area where you were hunting. I like finding older stuff like the key fob. Today I found a 1963 nickel in a park I do not hunt as often and found a 1955 wheat penny. I hope to go back with a detector that has a larger coil soon. Looks like you found a good mix of coins and other items and had a lot of fun. HH.

I love my Deleon. I bought it a couple of years ago to try out because I had never had a machine with a display. I didn't expect much in the way of depth and frankly I was shocked when I first used it. The Deleon gets very good depth and the ID is as good as any I've seen with the stock coil. I had heard it wasn't much on depth and the reviews when it came out seemed to downplay it. So I was surprized to find it was every bit as good as the X5 it replaced, for my ground anyhow. I kind of think of it as Tesoro's sleeper machine.

Unfortunately, I will be selling mine along with my Tiger Shark next year as I am moving and will only be hunting salt-water beaches which no Tesoro handles very well except the Sand Shark. Of course.. my Sand Shark will be getting lots of use there!

Those dollar coins are cool. Wish we had some of them down here. Nice little hunt.
