Hi Jim
I am based in the South of the UK in Dorset, these two coins were found on a rally just outside Winchester.
I would guess the Denarius was about 8in and the token a couple of inches, both on ploughed and rolled farmland.
I recall both targets gave good signals, the token being sanwiched between two iron signals.
The F75 acquitted itself very well today, when finds were few and far between, I actually managed a reasonable haul of of non ferrous artifacts, on a day when most were complained the land had been detected out over the past 10 years.

Thank You Dunkindiver,
Very good on the recoveries. Hunted out theatres seem to still play well for the f 75. I sure like mine and it was the right choice for me as it's speed helps me see targets and not 'a' target. My difficulty is interpreting and I found the small coil helpful in separation, at least for me. I guess it depends on the trash population, site to site. The picked over areas are still a challenge but productive nevertheless. I sure get a big smile making recoveries in 'hunted out' locations that have been there all along. A great sense of victory.
A question on the copper that was between the iron signals, can you describe more on how they reported and your reaction that caused you to dig. In short, were you confident that there was a good target and not just some iron falsing in high numbers? What did you think was there before you dug if you don't mind?
Regards.

Thats a toughie 4 days later!
Its a hard one to describe, but it was one of those positive signals that causes you to pause for a millisecond and sweep back across the area and I got enough of a positive signal sweeping back to investigate further.
I use 2F tones, disc 4, notch 1, sens 70, PF mode and I dig everything that gives a high beep and quite a few that don't! as most of our productive sites are infested with iron in every shape and size!
If my memory serves me correctly the token registered a 22, so I might have thought it was a shotgun cap, of which I had dug a fair number, but it proves that you can never assume anything and should dig every positive signal
