Dimes and nickels found with my trusty Bandido II one summer many years ago.

Yep. I recall doing the parks in Western Michigan and coming home in the evening with as many as 100 coins and a few rings.
The 1960's machines weren't to great depth wise but back then they didn't have to be very powerful.
I recall one day resting on a park bench and I just turned my Whites CoinMaster on for the heck of it. Right where I was resting the coil I got a smooth very weak tone. I dug a new mint 1936 quarter at about 5 inches deep!
Back then the regular thing was for people to ask me if I was spear hunting frogs or vacuuming the grass!

Yeah I had an elderly lady watch me one day very intently for about five minutes, then she walked over and asked me where she could buy a weed eater that ran that quiet.
