Up before the crack of dawn and decided on doing turf church this morning at the demo spot. Gassed up and got a good coffee and arrived at the site just as it was getting light enough to see a target.
The first good target was the thinest Mercury dime I have ever seen and it had also tangled with something. Probably a target that we all thought was a bottle cap. Loud hit locked on 80. The A T just seems to have a coin sound all of its own, so dug it. It was about 3" deep and will admit I was surprised it was silver. It appears to be a 1917. A little while later got a kind of scratchy sounding 78-80 reading and from 4" recovered what I thought was a British large penny. I have dug a few large pennies, both British and Australia, on this site. This one, however, turned out to be a 1938 British half penny.
Also had my own in the ground nail test. Grunt, high tone, grunt, high tone, so dug it. Scanned the loose dirt and got a grunt, which was the nail. Somewhat puzzled I re-scanned the dirt and got a high tone and that was a Memorial cent. Not sure where the coin was in the ground in relation to the rusty nail, but the A T "nailed" them both. Along the way I dug 3 50's era wheat cents, 12 Memorial cents, 2 clad dimes and some trash. This spot just doesn't seem to want to say "uncle." HH jim tn

The Pro's tones on coins and rings are nice and crisp as you say...very few 'foolers' once a guy swings this rig for a while..
that is a trash and a coin together. If we read our display real attention, we can see how, Miss AT PRO tells us what variables with their numbering. I would like to explain myself better in English ...
