My wife and I took an over night trip about 150 miles from home into Minnesota. I detected while she browsed and shopped at department and thrift stores.
Finds are from 3 different parks and 1 fairground. I used the 13 inch coil at 2 of the parks and the stock coil at the fairgrounds and other park.
When a person gets dropped off for 6 hours at a time at a site it forces them to work pretty hard.
I was lucky enough to get a full liberty 1907 half at the large park 20 minutes before my wife picked me up. It was surrounded by Iron and about 9 inches deep. It had a flat sound but it read like a half.
I believe the shield nickel is 1869. I might have to use date restore on it to be sure. The V is 1900.
Indian head pennies are all pretty old : 1876,1878,1887,1888,1891,1891,1893.
The Canadian quarter is 1905 and was pulled from a fairgrounds. That signal barely popped for me but I was going very slow and it was repeatable so I dug it.
