Very first good find with M6

[I a thr]

15 min into hunt w/ new M6 I dug the 1867 2 center. But that was only find in the area my brother and I hunted. Since then have been learning to deal with iron sound and thanks to some recent input form others have been learning to deal with it. Also found an old script G Pin and an old Infantry button.
Still grab the XL Pro and the two make a good team.
Thanks
Bill

I did a little relic hunting a few years ago. It was in some plowed feilds near the place where I was working at the time.After talking to the landowner .I was able to get in a few hours a day before work a couple of times a week. I wasn't lucky enough to find any buttons or plates but got a lot of bullets, a couple of fuse adapters,and artillery frags. Then I got transfered to where Im working now ,150 miles in the opposite direction.So now my hobby is pretty much coin shooting.In the deep south La, where I live ,the people fished , trapped and farmed until the oilfeild came in during the forties.So it is not common to get coins pre 1930's.In 6 1/2 years of metal detecting around here Ive only found 3 coins pre 1900, and I hunt alot, but I don't bother people about going on their property, just pretty much stay on public access land. But this is still my favorite pass-time,And I really enjoy the hobby.Thats some nice relics you have there,It does feel rewarding to bring a few nice ones home.Went back out a little while this morning, no silver, but got some more wheat pennies and clad. HH Good Luck Richard A. S.La.

Well BILL, You're way ahead of me!! I've been hunting a (300+) yr. old colonial house for (3)hrs. today with my M-6, and (3)hrs. last Sunday with my Sov-GT. Only one Lincoln Penny and possibly some kind of old ID Tag with the Sov-GT. Still have it soaking! ALOT of JUNK with the M-6. Although it has been hunted before, and there is alot of Slag Iron, Iron Relics (whatyouwouldcallits) and Alot of Misc. Metals in this ground. HH, Les

Les , thanks for looking and to answer your question, I'm not exaxctly sure what the pin was for. When I first dug it I thought it was a belt plate, but not as still has the pin attachment on back. I would like to think that it has some significance other than just a piece of old jewelry.

Tom.
I was using the factory coil when I found the 2 center and also useing the Excelerator 5" on some of the finds. It was the first day I used the machine and was just 15 minutes from fisrt time ever touching it and foun the 2 cent piece. I thought at that time I had found the perfect machine. Since then I think maybe like a lot of finds I just happened to be walking over a good spot.
