The MXT Iron-Scratch

Found this items over the weekend but only found
8 of the drops with my normal set-up. The area
I worked was red clay and some areas were a mix
of red clay and "normal" soil. Initially I walked
over these targets but I dropped my discriminate
to a "dial line width" above zero. Now what I was
missing either came in as a low whisper or a
iron-high pitched scratch. If there was a "hint"
of a high pitch mixed in, it was a drop.
Some of the pieces on the right appear to be from
a board game with the upper right being a possible
"king" from a chest set. The silver at the bottom
appears to be a 3 pence silver pc. The items that are hard to make out are button backs and a grommet.
The item to the left if a big piece of lead that someone
had started to whittle on.BTW, with the disc. dropped to near zero, the ID
almost always jumped between iron and foil.
More to follow

FYI, those "gaming pieces" are probably lead case shot from an exploding cannonball, aka "spherical case". The faceted sides are typical of lead case shot, and round balls as well as 3-ring minies were used in this manner.

Were these found with the new coil? I am still waiting on a report from the new coil.
 
coil is coming. I actually hooked up the 14" twice last week, but other than those two necessary times (due to the site) I just work with the MXT and the 5" Excelerator.
 
So when are you going to use the new coil???? I want to know what you think.
 
Hi Richard, I was just wondering what part of tenn you are from?
