The merchant token is in great shape! Around here, the aluminum tokens take a beating in the soil. The Old Grover medal is really cool and your silver finds are always impressive. Well done.

Thanks for the comments SS and Mike,
Yes, most of the finds were pulled with the thunder coil and some with the tornado coil.
Multi Conductive, Auto +3 with iron mask on the 24 ferrous line. At that setting most of the falsing nails are bent ones.
All the parks and schools I go to have been hit many times and it takes a lot of patient detecting to start hitting a good real deep faint signal that is still there.
Over the years I have left my settings relatively the same (very similar to Goes 4 Ever settings). I never have tried Two Tone Ferrous and relied more
on the tones getting engrained into my head from all my hours on the Etrac. I also do quite a bit of winter research to give me some old prospective sites as a starting point.
I don't get much exercise being a software developer for almost 25 years so I really enjoy all aspects of metal detecting.

Wow Dave. What an awesome array of finds. You really have some nice older parks up your way. The condition of the 5c token is unbelievable. Great job as always and can't wait to see what you find next!
